Message: <blockquote data-quote="Khaalis" data-source="post: 4334720" data-attributes="member: 2167">Couple quick comments from v1.5, I'll work on more later. This is a LOT of house rules.1) INT BONUS:* What if the PC has a negative modifier? Does it matter or is it considered 0 for this?* You might want to specifically make a list of all Background Skills (or at least the basic examples, using the 3.5 PHB examples as a place to start).2) HALF-ELF:* I think the +2 to one of 3 scores might become seriously abused. Its basically giving a +2 to any stat of choice Other than INT.* Not keen on the +1 Reflex DEF (you say 'saves' btw not defense). Too similar to the Elf. If anything the race needs something to link it to being part human. I might think of giving them a +1 to saves.3) HALFLINGS:* +2 to Initiative is a Major bonus. I'd drop this back to a +1.4) DIVINE FORTUNE:* Think this is a bit too powerful. No other power I can think off the top of my head adds to all die rolls for the duration of the turn. They usually effect 1 die roll.5) RANGER:* If you take Prime Shot away from TWF rangers, what do they get to replace it?6) WARLOCK:* Not sure nerfing the infernal pact is necessary. Keep in mind Temp HP don't stack, and in most cases these temp HP aren't even enough to cover a single attack's damage.7) WIZARD:* The Wand/Orb/Staff implements are a bit complicated. You are basically giving the same bonuses but making them even better by making them Interrupt Re-rolls. I think that might be a bit too much.*Familiar -- This is similar to what I will do. However, the free power up is too much. I would make "Improve Familiar" a Ritual that costs the same amount of cash it would cost for an equivalent bonus to another implement. You are basically giving away 6 free magic items here. That's too much.-- I would not include anything about the familiar being anything other than an implement in the base description. If necessary I would stat it out as a Level 1 Minion that's special ability is cannot be targeted by attacks.-- As for powers like spell linking, etc. I would make these feats.*Spellbook: Wow, that's a bit complex. Have to think on this one, but the whole 'package' concept isn't sinking in as making much sense.I'll try to do more later.</blockquote>
