Still No classes, but now it is by creature type

[Sravoff]

After much more number crunching I have found that this will take much longer than expected. So I began anew on a feat based creature type structure. You are now Elmeheil, the 12th level elf, or Chevelle, the third level halfling, or Ulmagnus, the sixth level hound arcon. (Outsider type still in progress.)

So far I ahve gotten humanoids mostly worked out. They are somewhere around basic powerlevel, I think.

Basics, Humanoids

Basics:
All characters are humanoids. This means they advance as humanoids.
Humanoids:
HD: D8
Bab: 3/4 (as Cleric)
Saves: one good, two bad
Skills: 4+int
Special: Gain one bonus feat every level, you also gain you regular feat/ 3 levels.

You gain the normal atributes and racial abilities for your race, elf, halfling, goblin ect. However there are some changes.

You get ten class skills, however, any skills your race gets bonus's on must be included
You gain all you races penalties at first level, no of their strengths.
You gain a +1 in all your races favored skills. i.e. the ones they get +2 on.
After that you get all your other abilities at first level. i.e. size, speed, spell like abilites and everything else

Exceptions:
Natural armor: You gain natural armor at level 2, this starts at NA +1. Every level therafter you gain an aditional +1 Natural armor, upto the maximum of your race. i.e. at third level a lizard folk would have a +2, at level six he would have +5, at leel ten he would have +5, because +5 is their max.
Energy resistance: You gain energy resistance at level two, this starts at one and increases the way natural armor does, see above.
Racial Hitdice: Ignore this, all your HD are racial, you don't gain additional HD.

Level adjustment: This is rather big problem for this system. I am thinking you give up feats if you have racial level adjustment. Currently you lose one bonus feat out of evry five levle per point of level adjustment. i.e. a gnoll will gain bonus feats at level 2-5, 7-10, 12-15, 17-20 and so on.

Sorcerer/Wizard, each caster level gives you spells per day,known as normal, each caster level cost two feats.

It takes level 20 to cast 7th-lvl wizard spells?

 

[Sravoff]

ahh.. two thing i forgot to mention. One you may reduce you HD for that level and gain a feat. Two, instead of adding one to your bab you could get a feat. This will allow you to get all twenty levels of sorcerer/wizard by level 20.

You may not increase you caster level by more than one per level.
