04-17-04, 03:01 PM I don't think so. They should have their own, considering how different they are from humans. Just like the Drow has a different paragon class for it's unique abilities, the Elan paragon class should be one that makes the Elan better at being an Elan. Maybe giving it the ability to spend a power point so that it doesn't need to eat for 2 days or something.

04-17-04, 07:49 PM I see your point. That would be hard to balance. Maybe you could have them spend power points to gain +6 to one specific save, to use on their next saving throw(instead of +4 to all saving throws). Or whatever.

04-19-04, 07:33 AM I would design an Elan Paragon class, rather than allowing Elans to take levels in Human Paragon. However, given the similarities between the two races (elans were once human, after all), I would design the class to be very similar to Human Paragon. In fact, I'd probably just swap spellcaster level for manifester level, require the ability boost to be in a stat which drives the elan's psionics, and be done with it. The rest seems to fit elans as well as it does humans.
