That first suggestion looks pretty much the same as my Satyxis v2. Yup.

The four level one's not such a bad idea, though. I'll give that some thought.

About the Tharn above. I know that they 'gain' a claw/bite routine, but are they required to use it while frenzying? If they are required to use the claws/bite instead of a weapon that would be fairly significant.

That is true ;/ sorry about that, I read what you had put down wrong For some reason I thought it was saying: Class Level, then 2 levels of race for a total of a level 3 character, sorry again.

See Monsternomicon pg 148 and Wet 'N' Wild Girls of Absolute Evil vol II for details on the Satyxis.

Scion; I'm not certain, but reckon that the Tharn can choose whether to use the three natwep routine or his normal weapons. I can't think of a reason why you'd lose the ability to wield them; the claws ain't that big

Plus, the piccie in the book shows a frenzied Tharn with a big axe.

Significant changes made to the ogrun, after some thought.

 

[Leopold]

just want to chime in good job and nice progression charts.

I was figureing some flavor reason may exist which would also change just how useful the rageing is I didnt know either way though, and dont own the book.

I do like what you are doing here though! keep up the good work! I will comment on a few others when I get some more time if you like

At level 3 this guy has:
+4 Str, -2 Int, -2 Wis
Large Size (but no reach? all of the penalties and none of the bonuses? ow )
Base Speed 40'
2d8 HD (you give skills 3 times, should he get an extra hd?)
+1 BAB

Weapon familiariry: All polearms (I guess this means, 'gains all polearms as martial weapon proficienccy feats)
OathBound
+2 craft (when metalworking), +2 intimidate
6 + 3xint (shouldnt he get 4x the first time?)
+3 F, +0 R, +0 W
+2 natural armor

Unless I am reading this wrong then this guy is incredibly underpowered at level 3. I dont know what oathbound is, so that may make up the difference if it is incredibly cool. Is there somewhere I could find out what it is or is it only in the book?

I know that the dmg usually equates str with double penalties but generally I disagree Doesnt matter for this guy though, he winds up with a total of 0 which is cool.

I think that a first level character Such as:
Large (with only 5' reach)
+4 Str, -2 Int, -2 Wis
base speed 40
Weapon Familiarity: Polearms
OathBound
+2 craft (when metalworking), +2 intimidate
+2 natural armor

Might be a little much, but not by a whole lot. Making them take the first level with whatever that d8 HD is with no level adjustment would probably put them a little bit underpowered but not for straight barbarian characters who dont care about social niceties

d8, (2+int)x4 skill points, +2 F, +0 R, +0 W, +0 BAB

..
Long post, sorry ;/ Just give me a rating of how powerful or antipowerful oathbound is Otherwise one level getting pretty much nothing balances out the rest of the abilities in my book.
