You still need to fix your links.   :P

I know. Bit busy this weekend, however...

I'll post again when I've done that and a couple other updates we discussed.

Understandable.  Whenever you've gotten time let me know what you've changed and I'll take another look at things and see if I can get inspired.

Oh gods... I was doing some other editing and realized I never came back to this...  :blush

I'm so bad about not thinking about that which I do not see.  :(

Monk was redone to include some of Dman's ideas for his Monk that was based off of mine.  :lmao

Still trying to flesh out the Druid's Aspect of Elements.

And, I swear... Fixing links is back to the top of my to do list after the Druid.

Nope, I'm just bad about coming back to projects once I have to walk away for a bit.

All links should be fixed. Some minor editing fixes, and included the Ferret feat summaries in the general thread.

Wanna give the Druid stuff a glance? See if anything sticks out as too weak/powerful or if you have suggestions for the blank spots?

Also, I'm drawing a super blank on how to proceed with the Tiger sub levels... Thought about switching Swordsage to Spirit Shaman, but no idea what abilities to swap/add.  :???

The aspects of nature are kind of all over the place with power.  I'm not sure how to fix that tough...

I figured as much... But I had sat on them too long to not put something down, even if the numbers are way off.

Should damages be lowered/raised on some of them? Are the non damaging not powerful enough? Are the ones that add to natural attacks too good with a natural attack Gish Druidic Avenger/ Rage Caster?   :plotting

Should I maybe swap the Stage 2 Aspects I have with the offensive Stage 1 Aspects?

Hooray.   :P

Here's an example of what I'm talking about for the Aspects.  Look at Stage 5 gained at level 18
  - +6 saves against poison and 1d8 gore attack vs. 5d6 damage, Reflex save DC 10 + 1/2 Druid level + Str

If those were the only two aspects, nobody would ever pick the first one.  At 18th level poisons are nothing.  I have no clue how to balance them all out though...

Congrats on getting me back on the boards, Ejo. :P

For water-based PrC, since you've got the other elements, my first inspiration draws from Nick's Avatar. Water is the element associated with healing, but it also does death ala bloodbending and chakra-blocking.

So a PrC that splits between the wonderful and horrible things that water can do sounds cool. Water to heal/focus spells/etc and Also to control others ala Dominate or possessions. Just food for thought. I definitely have to read through all the work you've done some time. :D

Ah, I see... Yea, Stage 5s should be more competitive since I give fewer later now...

Also, trample is 15d6...

But within the stage itself, the poison resist is just a minor benefit... The extra natural attack (or size boost on it) is the point of that aspect... I should probably up it to at least 2d6 though...

I really like this idea, and it could totally work with the fluff line from the religion section "Worshipers of water are often subtle and sly, always finding an alternate route to victory."

But have no idea where to start with it... Especially paired with the suggestion of making it a divine caster.

Maybe steal some inspiration from Mindbender or Thrallherd classes?

I knew it was 15d6, that was a typo.   :P

EjoThims:

I buffed all the level 5 Aspects of Nature, and that one specifically I made much better. Buffed most of the 4s, and some of the 3s.

5s should now be between stage 1 AoE and stage 2 in power. Are they appropriate? Are the AoEs balanced?

Any suggestions for the missing ones?

And wow, I'm sorry... I hit modify instead of quote. :( :???

 :lmao  You make me look schizophrenic. 

I'll give them a look.

Edit: Things look much better.  I don't know how balanced they are but nothing looks horrible.

Stage 2 Dark Aspect of Elements added to Druid

(click to show/hide)

Still stuck wanting more generics for both stages but no idea what to do with them. Baby steps until I can get past writer's blocks. :(
