And there is no point of "one other" if you speak supernal is there?
Its like, if you speak Latin, you might be able to pick up on a thing or two someone speaking Spanish or French says, but not the whole message.
Also, in most campaigns, you have common, so Language doesn't matter...
And if thet's how supernal works for them then the class looks mechanically sound.
I can understand the lack of a racial power, but maybe even a relatively weak one would be nice.
Overall really nice. Congrats.
I designed them to not have a racial power, because the Dwarf as it stands now is the only race that doesn't have one.
Its also important to note, they're human, not half-human or any-combination like that. 100% human as far as feats are concerned, so they don't have a sub set of racial feats to choose from. Though I'm not completely against the idea, I have it that way, for the moment, to prevent some people from trying to capitolize on something I've not foreseen yet.
If I do come up with a racial feat, like "Tongues" or "Sublime Aura", I'll post it here, on the same thread.
However the old human defense bonus would probably be fine. (Giving up an abilitymodifier impacts far more than defenses)
Why is the diversity limited?
Yes?
Well, me likes. Are you going to make Gaia as well?
If you don't know what I'm talking about, you can disregard this whole post, but there's a free MMO out there that uses those very races.
Nvm, I see Gaia down there!
The reason for the defense changes, is I don't like the idea of a human having a higher fort than a dwarf, a higher reflex than a halfling or a better will than a dragonborn.
As for the feat thing, its to keep the human feat selectoin more in line with the starting feats given to other races.
To Halfrican:
The names are borrowed from Rappelz, and that really about it, the deva and asura are names taken from ancient religions such as Hinduism and the (can't remember the name) relgion of Babylon.
If I were to rip of Rappelz directly, the Devan would have a healing spell by default and the Asuran could dodge by default.
The problem with their stast is that they only get a marghinal boost in any class they take. they're effectively 1 point behind on at least one defense, and likely one type of attack. The defense bonus shores up this weakness.
Of course since your humans have a different flavor than vanilla 4e (which has humans as consumate survivors, and greedy for knowledge) you can get away with it.
Dragonborn are magical creations, created by spell-casters (kind of like Raistlin), by magincally mixing human blood with dragonblood.
Elves are wandering nomads who's homeland was destroyed by a war with the gods.
And warforged are mostly unchanged from Eberron fluff, just new location and new look. ((They look more like walking suits of samurai armor))
