[QUOTE="gamerprinter, post: 6274869, member: 50895"] Its one thing to take a home-brew race build and apply standard classes to see how to build it in a balanced way, or take a home-brew class and apply that to a standard race to achieve a balanced build. Instead, you've introduced a custom home-brewed race, and a custom class - and you're looking for help. I don't know that either (class or race) is very well balanced, so I have no means of measuring the worth of this build since everything is home-brew (its a poor place to start for an outsider to your game to look at this build.) It almost seems like you're doing a custom class design to take over advantage of the racial features you built, which would seem to be make an overly specialized class, and possibly overpowered because of that. There's no way for me to judge the balance without playtesting both, and that's a lot of work for someone not using your homebrew rules. Perhaps someone can give a better judgment for you. For me, this is so home-brew, there is no effective way for me to judge nor help you. Its almost too much of an outlier situation to even make sense. If it were one or the other (custom plus existing rules) I could help. Good luck, but since neither is the case, I can't help you. [/QUOTE]
