Bahumut 11-10-07, 07:03 AM	im calling shenanigans! 2 bonus feats darkvision 90ft. two favored classes 3 exotic weapon proficiencies 2 claws that are so broken, they get their own section below this bonus languages (any) all for the same +1 LA from the base catfolk? i'll have some of what you're smoking. but really, two feats are not good replacements for 2 +2 skill bonuses. standard Outsider darkvision is 60ft. so the extra 30 is a little wierd. two favored classes is also a little wierd. three exotic weapon proficiencies, with all three of them being very powerful weapons in their own right, on top of Outsider all simple and martial proficiency, is just...no. now, for the claws...standard medium claws are 1d4. your 1d10 claws are sized for a GARGANTUAN creature. also, there are rediculously few things that add your dex to damage in this game, and NONE of them are racial abilites. the 18-20 crit range on a natural weapon isnt possible without something like the TERRASQUE'S Augment Critical ability. sorry to flame, but all that for a +1 LA? i'd say it's more like an overpowered +3 LA, maybe a +4.
HCL 11-10-07, 09:06 AM	this has to be +2 or +3
Dog_O_War 11-10-07, 10:17 AM	"are those claws, or enlarged falchions?"
