[QUOTE="Arkhandus, post: 3523558, member: 13966"] Roger: Sturdy isn't that great. It's from Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed/Evolved, essentially a replacement for Toughness. You just double your Con bonus to HP for that level, not for every level, so it's a one-time benefit from each copy. So a dwarf takes Sturdy at 1st-level let's say, and has Constitution 20 in the beginning. He gets +10 HP that level instead of +5 from Constitution; just 2 points more HP than the Toughness feat would give (and Toughness sucks beyond 1st-level anyway). Once the dwarf goes up to 3rd-level, he's still only getting the same 5 HP from Sturdy, not 5 per level; but he could take Sturdy again as his 3rd-level feat, gaining another 5 HP (assuming his Con is still 20). You really need a Constitution of 18 or higher for Sturdy to yield more than Toughness; otherwise it yields the same or fewer HP than Toughness. borble: You have to be kidding. You insist your Dragon Bound is balanced despite how powerful it is in so many things, and with its dragon mount, but also insist that this race would be LA+3 in your games? LA+1 alone would be more than this race needs to be balanced as-is. Sure, the racial memory thing needs clarification, but apparently DM Cal isn't meaning for it to be complete, total knowledge of their ancestors' experiences. [/QUOTE]
