Obsidianjaerc 11-28-07, 09:57 AM	As tempting and flavorful as it is to write abilities and specifically feats that give you both a mechanical bonus and penalty it's not sound design. Why does Noblemen Charge require a base movement speed of 40. Why does Murderous Stare paralyze for 2 rounds? Is it a fear effect? Is it magical? Why does it have such a high Str requirement? Why is that req an even number? I assume the feat for the Macuahuitl is actually Exotic Weapon Proficiency? Unless these feats are granted through some ritual or special magical ability by being Noble in the Garland King world, is there any reason that the effects they provide should be limited to a noble character?
Yeliv 11-28-07, 06:29 PM	Haven't finished the Axteli Race, the race that is the base for the Garland Kings. Nobles are a sub-race, but I agree, perhaps I should change the requirement from Nobles only.
