Min/Max Boards

Given that there are scaling saves, how does a flat DC work? By higher levels, many monsters will have a 5% chance of failing a save, meaning that casters just use the strongest of the no save options.

Class Features
Text

• Enhanced Senses (Ex): As a scout, your senses continue to expand. At each class level, increase your blindsight by 10 ft (40 ft. at 1st level, 50 ft. at 2nd, 60 ft. at 3rd). You increase the range of your enhanced scent by 20 ft. each class level, and the distance at which you can pinpoint a location by 10 ft. each class level, to a maximum of 180 ft. and 90 ft. at 3rd class level.
  
• Ambush (Ex): Attacks during a surprise round or against an enemy who is not aware of your presence deal an extra 1d8 damage per class level.
  
• Enhanced Stealth (Ex): At each class level, increase the Tandda Scout's Stealth by +2.
  
• Enhanced Speed (Ex): A Tandda scout increases its normal speed by 10 ft. per round, and its burrow speed by 5 ft. per round.
  
• Fast Reactions (Ex): During a surprise round, if the Tandda Scout can act, it can take a normal round's worth of actions, rather than a single standard action.
  
• Sheltering Rock (Ex): While underground, a Tandda Scout can use the Stealth skill to hide even while being observed.
  
• Inaudible (Ex): A Tandda Scout moves so silently it cannot be heard with Perception checks if it doesn’t wish to be, although it can still be seen.
  

Feats
Scout Breeding
Born and trained to focus on exploration, the feelers sent out by the colony
Prerequisites: Tandda race, 1st level only
Benefit: Gifted in the ways of exploration and stealth, you recieve a further +4 bonus to Stealth when underground, and increase the range of your blindsight to 30 ft. In addition, if you've successfully hidden from your target, you can make one attack, take a single move action, and then immediately hide.
Special: You may not take Worker Breeding or Matriarch Breeding if you take this feat. You can take Warrior Breeding.

"He was a beat cop. Some of us have skills and connections better than that."

“You’ll want to take a left here. I think. Might be a right. Can’t tell my directions at my age, I’m getting all kinds of senile.” For all of her reserve, Red was approaching the point at which the old lady was going to feel the business end of a weapon, and sharpish.

The deliberate muzzyheadedness had been going on for several corners in the rat’s warren that the old bag called a home, and there had been precious little to show that those who had remained on the surface were going the right direction. For all Red knew, the Biyou could be leading them astray and allowing her younger colleague to flee.

“Should have guessed it before I got up here, but your shoulder is damned pointy. Not too comfortable for an old lady with a bony arse. Next time I suggest you bring some pillows along, or at least a cloak. Oh, and you’ll want a right.” Red turned. “No, your other right, the one over that way.”

‘The other right’ was clearly a left, but Red made it anyway. At least the small girl who had attached herself to the Llethu was little louder (or heavier) than a feather, and clung to the giant with a grim determination that seemed at odds with the miniscule nature of her form.

It took two more turns of poorly communicated directions from the old hag, and a wish that divine vengeance would strike her down momentarily, before Red had the answer as to whether the directions had been false or fair. Ahead was the much younger Biyou, crawling from a sewer grate in a party of town that had already shunned the tumbledown ruins of the warrens, and had at least some notions of respectability. It also meant that more folks were about, and of a sort less likely to turn their eyes away if murder was committed in the streets.

She cackles. "Best you be paying up boy, or my last words on you will be a curse." She waggles her fingers in the direction of Madoc.

Nodding agreement, Gwydion gathers his things and begins heading for the exit. They have to pick up their rented car and get that back to the depot without damage.

   

Interested to hear people's opinions on the early idea.

Think there's promise here, but without seeing more of the system, including a few example spells, it's hard to judge. After all, much of how good or bad this is depends on what the spells actually do.
