Doesn't necessarily work either. You could have a race with a lot of feat-add-ons for differing racial capabilities.
Everything is edible. Just that there are things only edible once per lifetime.
It's a god-eat-god world.

Procrastination is the thief of time; Year after year it steals, till all are fled,
And to the mercies of a moment leaves; The vast concerns of an eternal scene.

You could do what i do with the races i make in some of my threads.  Make the race, a racial prc, a small selection of racial feats, and substitution levels for 3 levels

Mmm...I think in this case it would probably be better to stick to the baseline race. I'm not aware of any precedent for racial substitution levels for templated creatures.

...dammit, bhu, you know exactly how to push my buttons. Alright, templated races are a go, I'll edit the main topic for clarity.

Does anyone have a problem with me writing an entry with two favored classes and two sets of racial subs?

Nor I.

Congratulations to TheGeometer and veekie, who tied for first place in the polls for One-Spell Wonders! They will be immortalized, which is to say, edited into the original post. Bronze statues are on backorder.

But seriously, very well done to everyone involved. Keep up the good work.

So... are we extending, scrapping, or what?

The 24th, but so far there hasn't been a lot of interest. Would you guys like to put this on hiatus for a while? Having these back to back doesn't make for healthy competition, apparently.

I don't mind having a homebrew contest, but I didn't feel particularly interested in participating in this one. *shrug*

Maybe have the contests quarterly instead of monthly?

Yeah, that's what happened to the one I ran a while ago.  It just fell apart because everyone didn't have any ideas after the first couple contests.  I believe I suggested a longer duration between and during contests towards the beginning?
