But I don't see flight as being that powerful, either. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> If I were designing it for anything but house rules, I'd probably up their modifiers a bit, and slap a higher ECL on 'em (something like a +3-4, because of the time other PC's would acquire similar powers). But I'll probably use these myself. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Sanctified: Quite well balanced, again, verging on slightly weak. This is mostly because the abilities they get (such as bless water, the abilities to make things holy, and the holy avenger ability) aren't that great unless you've got a willing DM, and can endure living with a narrow focus. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> I'd say most excellent. *Yoink*.Leonine: I like the concept for this a LOT. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> This is the only one that may be slightly powerful, from what I can tell, but it's not a major thing (most of it having to due with the roar ability and the leadership bonus). I'd probably drop a resistance or two, but I like it enough to *yoink* it. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Messenger: Like the sanctified, a great idea, and well balanced, seeing as many of the abilities they have are of limited use. *Yoink* again! In fact, it might be fun to combine the Messenger with the Winged....mmmmm......now we just need one for a Trumpeter/Herald aasimar, and I'll be one happy angel-boy. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />------As for the tiefling's resistances. The main reason they're like that is for canon, to be honest -- MM says Electric, they get electric. I generally agree that Acid probably fits better, and switching the two shouldn't result in any big balance issues. It's mostly a matter of taste. While Acid is probably bigger in their environment, perhaps they inherited Electricity as a defense against the Good Outsiders? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
