This non-humanoid being is a __________(size) sized creature practically composed of lava. +4 str -4 cha -2 int Alignment: the do not shift to one alignment or another but are generally neutral Because it lives in close vicinity of lava for most of its life this being is not subject to harm from extreme heat. Also because they are made of lava, when they attack with an unarmed strike they deal 1D6 points of fire damage Base land speed: 20 feet +2 racial bonus to fortitude saves -2 to hide checks because it glows like a light bulb +2 to spot and search because they have naturally keen senses Random Starting Age: Barbarian, Rogue, and Sorcerer – 20 years + 2D6 Bard, Fighter, Paladin, and Ranger – 20 years + 3D6 Cleric, Druid, Monk, and Wizard – 20 years + 4D6 Height: Male – 4’8” + 2D8 Female – 4’5” + 2D8 Weight: Male – 150 x 2D4 Female – 115 x 2D4 LA: +2 This is only the second race I've made and only my first post so if there is anything I should change or anything I left out I will be happy to alter it.
Rulebook 01-30-07, 06:20 PM	i have a hard time seeing anything made of lava is a +0 LA. the fire subtype and added fire damage i think would make it at least a +2, and im thinkign at least a +3 maybe with a racial HD or two to boot.. nothing in the books has a base speed of 25' why not just make it 20 or 30? the guard duty is a poor justification for the spot/search bonus. maybe just give it naturally keen senses like the elf. the intimidate bonus is dumb. many demons have never seen a human before, does that make them scared of them automatically?
Hobo_Jo 01-30-07, 06:25 PM	have made some changes but I am still wondering about a size and name. Lava monster sounds so dumb!
Rulebook 01-30-07, 06:28 PM	the name is unimportant really. you can just put a name there. and for size... either medium or give it 2 racial HD and Large
BlinkDOGwrangler 01-30-07, 06:35 PM	I could see a natural slam attack (like a warforged). Is it vulnerable to cold?
Hobo_Jo 01-30-07, 09:28 PM	with a slam attack and a 2 HD racial hit dice what would be a fair level adjustment?
Hobo_Jo 01-31-07, 04:10 PM	is there any way to keep this race from having a level adjustment?
Rulebook 01-31-07, 04:11 PM	no.
Hobo_Jo 01-31-07, 05:52 PM	the what is a good LA
Rulebook 01-31-07, 06:21 PM	fire subtyped, probably an Outsider or Abberation (i cant see anything else easily), with a slam attack type dealy... and you like them tough. 2 racial HD, +2 (+3 for my tastes, but you seem to be looking for an excuse to make this as cheap as possible)
Hobo_Jo 01-31-07, 06:25 PM	if u knew anything about my D&D group u would say that is fair as a LA of +1
Rulebook 01-31-07, 06:31 PM	just because your group ignores things like game balance, proper use of rules, and common sense, it dosent mean that everybody else does too.
Hobo_Jo 01-31-07, 06:33 PM	i didnt say anything about other people, i dont even now why your arguing, but i just a +3 LA is reasonable
Rulebook 01-31-07, 06:35 PM	show me something similar in the Monster Manual thats equivalent at a mere +3 thats really all im tryin to say.
Hobo_Jo 01-31-07, 06:38 PM	hahaha.......... if i had a monster manaul i would try:weep:

Hobo_Jo 02-03-07, 08:16 PM	i couldnt find any
Hobo_Jo 02-10-07, 11:04 AM	so i guess thats a good level adjustment, unless anyone abjects
obrysii 02-10-07, 11:08 AM	Please try to take the time and effort to type correctly. It's difficult to read your posts.
Hobo_Jo 02-25-07, 11:14 AM	it makes sense , what do u mean?
spncrbrrtt 02-25-07, 12:43 PM	It means watch for typos. oh, you might want to put this race in format, so they can be used as a monster too. do you need the monster template?
Hobo_Jo 02-25-07, 12:51 PM	oh sorry ill try to make more sense.... but yah is the monster template in the monster manual?
