[QUOTE="Corsair, post: 1774435, member: 23477"] Snipping everything except pertinent info: I don't see any problems here except the shifter. First things first: You're playing in forgotten realms, so that means the Aasimar and Genasi aren't THAT unusual. They are listed right there in the campaign setting and PGtF! It isn't like they are trying to use the White Dragonspawn template from Dragonlance. However if you are starting at level 1, you are free to disallow the LA +1 races. Either that, or use the old savage progressions articles to try to have them "work up to" LA +1. Last option is the "lesser" versions of the LA races as presented in back of the PGtF. None of these are bad solutions, they just depend on your play style. [b]Pyro[/b]: As others have said, its not nearly as powerful as you think it is. You get fire powers, but you lose progression in anything else. No high-level psi powers for this guy, and he's pretty much useless against anything with heavy resistances. [b]Shifter[/b]: You'd be well within your rights to say "Sorry, no 3.0 PrCs." Have him use a Nature's Warrior or Warshaper if he wants, but the shifter was a bit out of whack. (Actually a lot of MotW was... Miasma anyone?) As others have said, this is the one to watch out for. [b]Swashbuckler[/b]: I love this class. Gets some neat abilities, more skill points, and leads into some of the more skill-heavy warrior prestige classes (duelist for instance) better than a fighter. Not over powered at all. [/QUOTE]
