Spawned from the back of the archdevil, Uncle Nergel. Nergal devils live in shadow and flame
The emmisaries of Fierna Nergals acted as spies, assassin and the progenitors of devilish
schemes. After centuries of existing in the human world, some nergals have intergrated into
the mortal planes, leaving their infernal masters behind.
Play a nergel if you want…
To be a rare breed of devil who has left his masters behind for what seems like a better life
To be good at stealth, utility, and controling the powers of hell.
To be a member of a race that favors the: Avenger, Ranger, Rogue or Cleric Class
Infernal Training: You do not take any Level 1 Class feats
there are NO race or class flaws in 4E.
Change Shape: you have the Change Shape Power
Infernal Materialization: You Have the Infernal Materialization
powers (Sparp Talons, Tendrile Weapn, and Infernal Eyes
Dimensional Rift: You have the Dimensional Rift power.
pick one encounter power.
and implement the rest elsewhere. Some could work as feats, others are best put in a paragon path.
all races in the PH's have ONE racial power.
other than that, good race.
I've created a custom race and I'm looking for some feed back, Now don't give me crap on the race i based it off of it came from an extended universe webcomic.
This race is really over the top, and broken. I am going to break it down into parts and go over it step by step. You should check out this as it is what I use to balance off of.
Ability Scores: +2 Dextarity +2 Wisdom
Size: Medium

You should drop Supernal; it is normally restricted from base races.
Skill Bonus: +2 Insight, +2 Perception
Resist Fire: You have resist 5 + one-half
level.
Devil's Cunning: You gain a +2 racial to
Will defense
Devil Cunning is bad for two reasons: 1 +2 to a NAD is too much for a race as a standard bonus. Normally a NAD bonus is just a +1 like Goliaths and Eladrians. 2 Your race bonuses go to Dex and Wis which do go to the same NAD so your race does not require a NAD boost to balance it. So Devil Cunning should be changed to something else or taken out completely.
powers (Sparp Talons, Tendrile Weapn, and Infernal Eyes
Dimensional Rift: You have the Dimensional Rift power.
You have 4 racial powers, which is just too much.

Change Shape as you have made it has almost no mechanical impact. Really it looks like just some fluff ability, without some kind of bonus what is the point of this power?
Sharp Talons Nurgel Racial Power
Through your infernal heritage you manifest dark magic that
morphs your hands into talons with which you render flesh
from bone.
At-Will • Polymorph, Radiant, Infernal
Standard Action Melee 1
Target: One creature
Attack: Wisdom vs. AC
Hit: 2d6 + Wisdom modifier damage,
Sharp Talons is really off. As far as I know there is no infernal keyword and if you have the radiant keyword why doesn’t it do radiant damage? Also the damage is a little bit much for an at-will, but with no scaling attack bonus this attack will have a hard time hitting.
Tendrile Weapon Nurgel Racial Power
Through the sheer force of your dark magic you manifest the
edge of cold steel into you hand.
Encounter • Conjuration, Infernal
Minor Action Personal
Effect: Conjure a Weapon you are proficient in
Special: As a minor action you can recall weapon to hand
(must be in line of sight), and Weapon deals Radiant damage
Tendrile Weapon is confusing and lacks a lot of mechanics to back it up. Okay so it conjures a weapon? How powerful is the weapon? Does it have an enchantment bonus? How long does it last? Also if it’s going to deal radiant damage why do you not have the radiant keyword, and once again Infernal isn’t a keyword.
Infernal Eyes Nurgel Racial Power
Slits form across your body and from them rise the eyes of
Nergel Piercing all through all that they see
Encoumter Utility • Polymorph, Infernal
Standard Close Burst 2
Target: creatures in burst
Effect: targets are dazed until the end of your next turn
Special: You have +3 Insight, Perception, and dar-vision for three turns
Infernal Eyes it’s a ridiculously good power as a racial power. I just saw you edit in more stuff and now it’s just off the scale broken. Auto Daze? With all the other bonuses makes it just pure cheese
Dimensional Rift Nurgel Racial Power
Using your tendriles you tear a dimensional rift moving through
the plains
Encoumter Utility • Teleportation
Move Action Personal
Effect: You can teleport up to 5 squares
Dimensional Rift is a rip-off of the Eladrian power, and when you add in all the other racial powers its ridiculous.
Infernal Blast Nurgel Racial Power
By the power of Uncle Nergle you morph a tendriled cannon
from your chest firing an infernal, radiant blaze descimating all
in its path.
Daily • Polymorph, Radiant, Lightning, Infernal
Standard Action Blast 6
Target: All targets in blast
Attack: Wisdom +2 vs. Fort
Hit: 3d10 + Wisdom + Charisma modifier lightning damage,
and target(s) are dazed. (save ends)
Miss: Half Damage, and target(s) are dazed until
the end of your next tun.
Infernal Blast: How at all is this balanced with other races? Seriously?
It looks like you are trying to make a racial class and not a race.
Geez, what were you thinking when you created this class? To create half-god creatures that can take care of anything single-handed? Try to balance things out, and turn all those powers into feats (and I believe that will still be overpowered, I mean, Teleportin 10 squares? That's just way overpowered) and give them some solid and balanced abilities.

It looks like you are trying to make a racial class and not a race.
Explaination: The idea was that a Nergal demon would get these powers and would have, what i thought was 2 attack powers (Sharp talon and infernal blast, a weak at-will and a powerful daily, then powers that would allow utility, change shape, infernal eyes, and tendrile weapon). The balnce beingunable to recieve the characters level 1 class powers (not including class features). So if you all could tell me what a reasonable amount of damage, and effects would be, I would appreciate it, and what is a racial class, that sound interesting and might be closer to what I am trying to achieve.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And Shadow Guard, thanks for the in depth cirtique I appreciate it and I'll give more finished, less unbalnced version tonight.
Explaination: This is a race of Devils, not a race that formed an infernal pact in days long past (though that would be a good way to construct this race, i may consider that) So they would be fluent in Supernal, and why is Supernal restricted, any particlar reason?
to make feats like linguist and items/rituals that let you understand languages useful.
Which isn't to say you can't give them Supernal, it's too say do not give it too them lightly. It's like giving them a bonus feat.
Explaination:You are right i need to lower Will bonus to 1, second Eladrin have a bonus to both skills and NAD why can't this race, or am i missing something?
most races have bonuses in two abilities that add to two different NADs.
eg dwarves have con and wis that add to fort and will.
eladrin have dex and int, both add to ref. To make up for it they get +1 will.
your race has +2 dex and +2 wis that gives them +1 ref and +1 will. It would be excessive to give them an additional bonus to will.
again, not that you can't, just that you shouldn't do it lightly.
this race has the powers of devils
it's fine for the race to have the power, it's not ok for 1st level characters to have that kind of power.
put the powers into a race exclusive paragon path.
and what is a scaling attack bonus, i'm not familiar with that term?
take a closer look at how the dragon born breath works.
The weapon is deals as much damage as the players guided says it should, the weapon would last till the end of the encounter, and again keywords will be fixed.
if so, it's worthless once you get a +1 weapon. Racial powers need to work from level 1 to level 30
Nergal Devils were supposed to be the children of a powerful achfiend of the the Fourth Hell, Uncle nergal, which I won't go into at this time, the idea was that they were the emissaries, and spies of Fierna, being able to move between the plain acting as her eyes and ears, in other words teleporting.
so give the paragon path a teleportation ritual.
the devils in the comic are clearly more powerful than any 1st level character should be. They seem to have the power of a 15th level character, so build the race around that.
simply put your concept doesn't fit well in the heroic tier.
Okay i'm going to address each of Shadow guard critiques one by one, and give my explaination for them.
Explaination:You are right i need to lower Will bonus to 1, second Eladrin have a bonus to both skills and NAD why can't this race, or am i missing something?.
I get why they should have it, it’s just on Page 25 of the PHB it states that 1st level characters don’t have access to Abyssal or Supernal.
Explaination: The idea between these racial traits is that, this race has the powers of devils, so the idea was to have a character have 6 racial powers, instead of 5 class powers, and a racial power. This was an expierimentation that i was trying out as a way to include more racial abilities but try to keep it balance, (which i apparently failed miserably at)
Oops my English caused the mix up in the explanation. Your race gets a +2 to Dex and a +2 Wis which means it receives a bonus to the Reflex and Will NAD. So that means your race doesn’t require a NAD bonus to compensate like the Eladrian. The Eladrian have a +2 bonus to Dex and Int, which means both of its bonuses go to the same Reflex NAD. That’s why Eladrian get a +1 bonus.
Explaination: This was more of an out of battle power, like the changling racial power
Ah but your power doesn’t give a mechanical bonus like the Changeling racial power. The changeling gets a +5 to bluff to impersonate some other race because of the Change shape racial, while your version lacks any bonus and is just fluff saying you can disguise yourself.
Explaination: you're right it makes little sense to have be radiant a keyword, and not have it do radiant damage, i'll change that. as for infernal that's a mistake, i was thinking of creating it as a keyword but decided not to. As for damage I'll change it to 1d6 + wisdom modifier radiant damage, and what is a scaling attack bonus, i'm not familiar with that term?
It is described better in the link I had in my previous post, but attacks that don’t have the weapon keyword or the implement keyword need a scaling attack bonus to keep up with the enchantment bonuses of weapons and implements. So it should be +2 at heroic, +4 at Paragon and +6 at Epic, a good example of this is the Dragonborn racial that scales in this manner.
Explaination: The weapon is deals as much damage as the players guided says it should, the weapon would last till the end of the encounter, and again keywords will be fixed.
Ah okay, well the reason I asked is because if you leave it as a general, “any weapon your proficient with” players might ask to conjure a crazy powerful weapon that they technically are proficient with. Random spawning Holy Avengers might be a scary thing.
Explaination: Nergal Devils were supposed to be the children of a powerful achfiend of the the Fourth Hell, Uncle nergal, which I won't go into at this time, the idea was that they were the emissaries, and spies of Fierna, being able to move between the plain acting as her eyes and ears, in other words teleporting.
Eh well the racial isn’t bad, it’s just with everything else it’s a little bit much.
xplaination: The idea was that a Nergal demon would get these powers and would have, what i thought was 2 attack powers (Sharp talon and infernal blast, a weak at-will and a powerful daily, then powers that would allow utility, change shape, infernal eyes, and tendrile weapon). The balnce beingunable to recieve the characters level 1 class powers (not including class features). So if you all could tell me what a reasonable amount of damage, and effects would be, I would appreciate it, and what is a racial class, that sound interesting and might be closer to what I am trying to achieve.
Well technically there is no “Racial Class” it’s just when I saw all those power ranging from At-will to Daily it looked more like a Class than a race. Most races just have one racial power and that’s it. Maybe it would be better if you made the extra powers as racial feats or part of a paragon path. Another crazy idea is if you made a generic “Devil” class that is only accessible by certain races. That way you could use you current powers as part of the Devil class and just have the Nergal as a standard race that just happen to have the ability to become a stronger devil instead of the typical fighter or wizard.
