For that matter, why use the giant type? Monstrous humanoid seems better, since they get BAB equal to their hit dice that way.I'd recommend having this mimic the rules for removing the head of a hydra, save for the tail having maybe 1/10 the saiyan's total hit points.Just curious, where can I find more on this?Also, I'd recommend that you make Knowledge (ki) a class skill for saiyans as a race, since they seem naturally inclined towards it.I'd also recommend adding a racial ability to saiyans that their BAB and saves for class levels do NOT use the epic class progression, but instead accumulate normally for the class even after they gain 20 hit dice/levels. You may want this to only apply to saiyans and half-saiyans.I'd recommend having variants of this feat for 2nd-Grade Super Saiyan, Ultra Super Saiyan, and Super Saiyan 2. The reasoning here is that, although the anime/manga shows Goku and Gohan being able to remain as Super Saiyans normally for long periods of time, logic dictates that would be applied to the aforementioned states also.2nd-Grade and Ultra are just variations of the first transformation; sacrificing speed for power - if you can sustain the first transformation indefinately, you should be able to for them also. Likewise, Goku explains that Super Saiyan 3 generates so much power it can't be held longer than thirty minutes...this seems to imply that Super Saiyan 2, like Super Saiyan 1, can be indefinately held.It seems odd that Enhance Ki does "only" 20 points of nonlethal damage when the feat it's comparing itself to does 1d6 nonlethal damage.Also, while I understand that nonlethal damage here is being used to mimic how ki can be used up in battle, the nonlethal damage values here seem excessively high. Given that a character with nonlethal damage falls unconscious when they equal or exceed his current hit points, this means that a saiyan will virtually always end a battle unconscious against foes of relatively equal (or greater) power. Given the large "death's door" range, this means that they'll rather easily be exceptionally vulnerable to just being whacked while unconscious down to the bottom of their hit points, and then hit with a coup de grace or death knell.</blockquote>
