11-21-07, 05:52 PM This creature lumbers towards you claws gleaming with a red liquid.
"Hello" it says and lubbers past.

This creature was based off of one of my brothers bionicles (lego) and i thought that it might be a possible playable race. ok here goes my first ever race.
Society: refer to half orc except for also underwater communitys.

Kryllian
alignment any non chaotic
Monsterous huminoid (don't know what augmented is so...)
-4 dex cannot be bellow 3, strength +4, cha - 2
Speed 20ft fly(due to swimming "wings") (not sure what manuvarability, can hover but isn't particulaly good at flying) swim 30ft.
Medium.
Water vision (can see 500ft under water with no light)
Immunity to cold damage.
+5 natural armour bonus (counts as wearing armour plating with no check penaltie, it will be refered to as plating)
+7 reflective armour bounus (they have carapaces significantly weaker than big t but it is still reflective).
Natural attacks 2 claws 1d6(19-20 x2)
Weapon inability; cannot wield any manufactured weapon.
Claw absorbtion; when it sunders a magical weapon with it's claw, the claw absorbs part of the weapon's power. When it does this, once per year it can absorb either an enhancement +1 or gain one special ability of the weapon. Also once per year when it sunders an armour it either gains an enhancement +1 or gain one special ability of the armour.

LA;????

please critisise freely (barring flaming) and help make this better because i know it's terrible:weep: but i think it could be good. thankshttp://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff194/teamfireyleader/crustacean.jpg

11-21-07, 06:02 PM Hmm, can you give us a physical description of what they look like? That would help with coming up with a name and all.

11-21-07, 09:25 PM Hmmm. These guys seem pretty cool but I don't know if they would make good PC's. Just my opinion but I think they would be better monsters. Also, am I correct in that they have no land speed? Just fly and swim?

11-22-07, 11:34 AM They're pretty high LA, I'm afraid. They simply have too many advantages.

If the reflective thing is like the Tarrasque's ... it becomes unplayable. Too powerful.

11-22-07, 01:23 PM Sorry about the land speed, I must have deleted it by accident, 10ft because of their plating. If you somehow removed the armour plates without killing the creature it would move at 20ft.

Also the carapace only grants reflection bonus NOTHING else.
No, not zoidburg he is a lobster.

Physical description; solidly built all over like a giant (but no giant traits), pincerish mouth that closes sideways, armoured chest, yellow plating -2 to hide in woodland or greenery, boggle red eyes, thin wings that look more like scimitars than wings thanks to their thin silvery apearence, big silver claws like a fiddler crab's bigger claw compared to its body. head looks like the siluete of the front of a hovercraft head on (but is 3d but looks like only the body of the craft without fan from the side). it's shoulders, chest, back, upper legs and head are armoured.

Also i tried to lower it's LA by having it incapable of weapon and armour proficiency (and not being able to use them either). I think that this is more playable than a WF charger (which I have played, my dm had rust monsters round in every town).

Also what did you think of my magic weapon balancing, is it too quick or should it have normal weapon limitations?

They can fly?!? Should not happen with a crab. It just is hard to justify.

Medium.
Water vision (can see 500ft under water with no light)
Immunity to cold damage.

Medium size, but can see up to 500ft away when underwater? Also, cold immunity should come with a weakness to fire. Recomend changing it to just the Cold Subtype. Otherwise it would be a bit too strong.

+5 natural armour bonus (counts as wearing armour plating with no check penaltie, it will be refered to as plating)
+7 reflective armour bounus (they have carapaces significantly weaker than big t but it is still reflective).

High Nat armor, with an even higher bonus on top of it? Strong. Too strong. If anything, they should just have the nat armor bonus.

Natural attacks 2 claws 1d6(19-20 x2)
Weapon inability; cannot wield any manufactured weapon.
Claw absorbtion; when it sunders a magical weapon with it's claw, the claw absorbs part of the weapon's power.

As for the natural weapon, how long does the absorbtion last? The whole year, 24 hours, or permanent? Seems a bit strong too. They aren't going to be sundering that much as is though, those claws can hardly bypass the hardness of steel. As is, the race is easily worth a +5~+7. Recomend dropping the armor and weapon trick, the reflection bonus, and changing the cold immunity to the Cold Subtype. Then they would be worth a rough +1~+2.

Also.

"Crab...People...Crab...People...Look like Crab...Talk like People."

Sorry. Needed to be said.

11-23-07, 04:55 PM alright i need to explain that this is supposed to be LA 2 BUT you only add this to your campaign late on with LA 2 clases. Most of its ability's without absorbtion or reflection turn it to useless past 6th level were everyone starts using magic weapons. That's why its balanced like, late game possibility if someone dies.
Also how do you upload pics (can you?) so i can show you the model i based this off.
But i must have deleted the fire vulnerablity, also the eyesight well that's just over 150 metres which is easy in clear water with just a clear mask on (scuber diving) so a creature of the sea can probably see that in even murky water to see prey.

11-23-07, 10:50 PM Also how do you upload pics (can you?) so i can show you the model i based this off.

Yes, and here is how.

When you open the reply window, there is a line of commands at the top, right above the text box. Looking left to right, you will see the bold B first. Keep looking to the right, and you will come to a square with mountains in it. There is also a sun in the upper corner. Just put your cursor over it, and wait a second. A little window will pop up saying "Insert Image". Just click that, and then copy and paste the pics URL into the little window that pops up at the top of the screen.

Viola!! You have posted a pic!

11-24-07, 02:02 AM I thought of a name! I was killing time by thinking about all the fun stuff you can do with D&D, this race came up, and all of the sudden, this name popped into my head! What do you all think?

'Kryllian.'

How does it sound? I think it fits. Might already be taken though, so get other people's opinions on it.

11-24-07, 06:36 AM I like the name! it's brill
I'm afraid I meant off my computer (it doesn't seem to work, could be my computer)

11-24-07, 04:56 PM Um what are they, websites? URLs?
Aleolus
11-24-07, 07:22 PM You might want to edit the opening post (edit, go advanced), so that the creatures have a name, rather than just a nameless crablike race. Assuming you're still wanting to go along with Kryllian as a name.

11-26-07, 02:59 PM :bump: also how do you change thread name?

11-28-07, 01:38 PM never mind ( please help this class)

11-28-07, 01:48 PM Think about turning it into Monster class levels 1,4,8

something like that makes them a bit more prevelant and possible drop the inherent LA. of course this means you have to split up the bonuses IE the plate at lvl one only being worth +2 then at 4 being worth 5 while you see his first step into reflection at +3 and maybe weapon or armor absorption then at 8 you see the full effect of all of it.

11-29-07, 03:11 PM Is this a trick from savage species? i don't have it. I like this idea though. It balances the magic gaining (which i had annoyances with from the beginning)
