Forums: Index > Watercooler > Help balancing Half-Nymph race
I am making a variant of the Half-Nymph that is a little more nymphy than the current one. I would like to ask for some help balancing it arrund rogue (high rogue), elf level. What i got so far is Sandbox.--Sergejsvk 08:20, June 3, 2010 (UTC)
- I'd remove the +4 cha bonus to +2, and give it +2 dex as well--giving races more than +2 to a single stat without any LA can lead to imbalance. Also, Awesome Beauty seems really powerful potentially for no LA; I'd make it a once-per-day ability activated as a swift action. --Ghostwheel 17:33, June 3, 2010 (UTC)
- Without any LA or racial hit dice. The LA system has a few problematic side effects, such as susceptibility to lower-level spells like sleep and color spray at levels where that isn't expected, and messing up Feat and Skill Rank progressions (something which a person so enamored of the RNG as Ghost should take into account ;P). Things usually work better when you have HD = CR = ECL (or adjustments to those, in the case of templates), all else being equal.
- After a quick scan, you should either give them a swim speed or remove the "can take 10" bit on Swim checks. Those two things are heavily linked. The speed wouldn't even have to be anything big; half land speed, for instance. --Quantumboost 00:55, June 4, 2010 (UTC)
- Made some adjustments. Or should i give just one mental stat at no LA? They are more the talker/spellcasters. Not the sneaker/snipers. Poked and prodded some more, added a diferent ability, rearanged others. Added more limits to Beauty--Sergejsvk 08:52, June 4, 2010 (UTC)
