nightmaredragon 03-03-07, 07:28 PM	The Biowarrior "It's a pity humans are such soft beings-without claws or scales, or some way to defend themselves. Some of them can overcome that." -Niverti Mizzetium, Copper Dragon Abilities: As they are a mainly martial class, Strength, dexterity, and Constitution are very important. Dexterity is important, as biowarriors are incapable of wearing armor, and constitution is paramount- it provides bonus hit points and determines the saving throw DCs fro mant of their abilities. Adventures: As its genetic abilities allow them to be a powerful melee class, biowarriors often serve as mercenaries. As their abilities are often frowned upon, they are rarely found in the military, with the exception of certain monstrous races. They often see adventuring as a way to avoid persecution from other more "normal" beings. Races Of the "civillized" races, humans are some of the most willing to become biowarriors, because they do not have as coherent a racial identity as other races. Many half elves and even more half orcs who have decided to stop trying to fit into society take up this class, as it grants great power, and they are already outcasts. Half Orcs with their strong martial heritage and preference to the rougher combat of barbarians often feel right at home fighting with teeth and claws. Half-Elves with their kinship to nature more often take up druids, but some more martially inclined half-elves take up the biowarrior. Gnomes, with their small stature and openess to new ideas also sometimes take up the biowarrior class. Halflings only rarely do, as they are usually not inclined to heavy close-quarters combat. Elves and Dwarves, with their strong racial pride and insular societies are even rarer.

nightmaredragon 03-04-07, 10:28 AM	Sorry it looks so wierd.... I can't figure out the code box thingy....
neilthrun 03-04-07, 03:30 PM	Seems like a great idea, but its extremely confusing to read. I'd comment more if it was more neat. Perhaps a little flavor about the class would be good too.
TheAnthroDM 03-04-07, 05:07 PM	You will need to make use of both bold and Code before I can make 6 or sevens of this class, but it looks interesting...

nightmaredragon 03-06-07, 09:14 AM	No, sorry... the natural weapon chart got f*cked up. Not your fault.
aotrscommander 03-06-07, 09:24 AM	A trick I figured out a while a go; don't format it for the boards in Word; whack it in Notepad. The spacing gets retained that way, so you can align it with tabs to yur hreat's content. Then you just put in code tags... and paste stuff in here ...job done. That's how I do it. Check the link in my sig, it takes you to the page that actually tells you how to do all sorts of effects (they really should have made the link a bit more prominant it my opinion!)
Ralvuimego 03-06-07, 11:04 AM	I looked at this class once and went "Wait a minute... d8 hit dice... full BAB... Monster-like abilities as class features...Least...Lesser...and Greater mutations... This looks suspiciously familiar..." and realized it looked almost exactly like my Chemical Warrior class with a natural armor, natural weapons that upgrade themselves and a fluff reworking. Looking at it now, it still looks kind of like mine, but the differences are definately there. In fact, other than BAB, HD, and the monster abilities, our classes are nothing alike. I have to say though, you've definately made a better "Make Your Own Monster" class, at least fluff wise. I suppose this leaves me with only one option... Nightmaredragon... I challenge you to a duel to the death! :P EDIT: Oh, and as an apology for jumping to conclusions, Ima gonna clean up your thread a bit.

Rakasha#5 03-06-07, 11:41 AM	As NightmareDragon's partner in the making of this class, I would like to say, no we did not copy off your chemical warrior class and I myself did not even know it existed. But as for your offer of a duel to the death, he agrees, despite being already undead.

But as for your offer of a duel to the death, he agrees, despite being already undead. Though it was my original impression, I've come to terms that you guys in fact didn't copy my class. Just clearing this up now in case I sounded like a jerk in my last post. You've just confirmed my suspicions is all. As for the duel, meet me on the boards at dawn tomorrow; Bring friends. :P
nightmaredragon 03-06-07, 01:02 PM	I shall not need any, but if you insist, Rakasa#5 shall be my second.

Just clearing this up now in case I sounded like a jerk in my last post. You've just confirmed my suspicions is all. As for the duel, meet me on the boards at dawn tomorrow; Bring friends. :P As nightmaredragons second, I must ask 1. Which board? 2. What time? 3. What shall be our weapon? (also does anyone have any comments on the actual class like if it's balanced or not?)
nightmaredragon 03-06-07, 01:21 PM	What does (/Sblock) mean?
Ralvuimego 03-06-07, 02:05 PM	Sblock does.... Cool, Isn't it? Oh, and you have to change the ()'s to []'s for it to work. I couldn't post it like that to begin with because you couldn't just copy it.
nightmaredragon 03-06-07, 08:08 PM	Hmmm. Anyway, i'll seeya on the boards in the mornin' for that duel, providing you were serious.
nightmaredragon 03-07-07, 09:00 AM	I'm here.
Ralvuimego 03-07-07, 12:23 PM	I'm here as well. If you didn't get my PM, I'll just say it here. Lets have it... say 4:00 EST, Your Bio Warrior vs my Chemical Warrior, Level 10, 5000 gold wealth, +0 LA races only. The thread will be called Bio Warrior vs Chemical Warrior: Ultimate Mutant Showdown! If anyone is interested in being the dice roller, to keep this fair, send me a PM!
nightmaredragon 03-07-07, 08:09 PM	Awesome. 3/8/07, right?
Memnanth 03-07-07, 09:42 PM	sorry to rain on the fight party, but I have an actual balance comment. I'm away from books right now, so I can't check, but I believe that wounding has a higher equivalent bonus modifier than the energy damage enhancements (icy, fiery, etc.). Right now you have them getting wounding, or 1d4 of extra energy damage, at the same time. A simple solution would be to give the wounding ability a fort save entry. Come to think of it, I think there's a fort save against the wounding weapon effect anyway.
nightmaredragon 03-08-07, 08:33 PM	As for the weapon quality wounding, you're right: the real thing is a +2 bonus, but doesn't allow a fortitude save. How about I make it "on a critical hit"?
nightmaredragon 03-11-07, 11:11 AM	*Bump*
nightmaredragon 03-13-07, 04:29 PM	Ba*Bump*
neilthrun 03-13-07, 04:42 PM	I feel a biowarrior should have the option of chosing a lower lvl special ability for his natural weapon upgrade,otherwise if you make certian decessions every natural weapon upgrade past that point is already picked for you.
periscope 03-13-07, 07:49 PM	why does the vicious bite deal 1d4 to you for using it?
nightmaredragon 03-14-07, 07:53 PM	it's like the vicious weapon quality from the DMG.
nightmaredragon 08-22-07, 06:44 PM	*ba-dump*
rphair 08-22-07, 09:53 PM	This... is utter and complete awesome. I love the idea of this crazy mutant guy tearing up the battlefield! This is like that Aspect of Nature variant of the Druid, only cooler. I'd love to try to play this class at some point. Anyhoo, kudos for the concept; this is wicked cool.
IronFistMonkCerberlain 08-22-07, 10:26 PM	one word.......... BUUUUYAAAAHHHHH this is amazing
