Message: <blockquote data-quote="Slobber Monster" data-source="post: 2017250" data-attributes="member: 27687">Hmmm...A CL 5 Half-fiend Human Fighter 1 has a BAB of +1, but gets +4 to strength and dex so then net is really always 2 behind a normal human fighter. The half-fiend  fighter is also 3 feats behind, but in turn gets flight, darkvision, natural armor, SR, DR, great resistances, Smite Good, and the ability to cast Darkness 3/day. The human fighter has 4d10 + (con mod x 4) more HP's, which is pretty big. Overall I'd say the Half-fiend at this point has weaker damage-dealing capability, but is a very tough nut to crack. However, anything that does get through its defenses is likely to take it out with its low HP's and inferior Fort save.As levels progress the Half-fiend stays the same amount behind in AB, HP's (though his +2 con bonus helps a little), and Feats. He does get a few more nice spell-like abilities like Unholy Blight, Poison, and Horrid Wilting. Its spell resistance goes up with every level, which is nice. DR goes up at CL 16, which is a bit late. Resistances do not go up at all, which probably should be changed since energy resistance 10 is not worth much at CL 20.Overall I'd say it makes a viable, if slightly weeker melee type. For spellcasters it's much too expensive, but that tends to be true for LA's in general.</blockquote>
