[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 3356030, member: 2209"] Ryfte, let's consider it a playtest then and go with it if we can work things out. 1 Slight Build. The WotC one says it is limited to opposed checks with a size modifier Yours says Size modifier [B]or[/B] opposed checks. And size modifier affects AC and attacks. Does size affect any skills beside hide? 2 All right, cold Iron at +50%. The more I think about it 1d6 flat can work too though, it would be like a reverse weapon energy enhancement (The race cookbook even has LA pricing measures for 1d6 vulnerability to metals including cold iron) 3 Brachiation, I can get behind supernatural faster speed or Tarzan style rapid quick tree surfing, but there are a couple issues I see. Monks get an enhancement bonus to base movement (not an inherent one), Barbarian movement is just faster. Are you thinking Tarzan the barbarian goes quicker, but Shaolin leafling does not? Longstrider affects base land speed but not other modes of movement like climbing, haste affects all modes of movement. Can druids enhance their brachiation? 50% means if land speed goes to 30' then brachiation goes to 45 whereas most speeds only go up by 10' increments (not really a problem just a difference). Brachiation is like climb speed but without the land movement speed cap, the no running while climbing limitation, and climbing requires two free hands to move. With the brachiation do you still want climb speed for up walls or do you just want them climbing trees and vines? Do you want to specify the two hands required when brachiating? One hand so they can sling Jane over one shoulder? Do you want it to be limited by encumbrance or armor? Monkeys can climb 60' in a round. A commoner leafling can brachiate and run so either 120' for 30 base move or 160' in a round. Would it work easier to just have a feature that allowed them to run while climbing in trees? A 40' tree movement can certainly work, it would be similar to a 40' swim movement for effectiveness I was thinking, and supernatural quickling type tree magic is not unreasonable IMO. 4. Are they humanoid (halfling)s or fey with Halfling blood? Its close on whether they are closer to LA+1 examples than LA 0. The special move, falling defense, and +4 dex puts them up there, though the -2 con and cold iron vulnerability are significant. [/QUOTE]
