I must admit, the Aanan race is very interesting and original. I would choose that, makes a good anti-sneak

hmmm not rly it's permablind

And listen only gives you a chance if you fight a melee sneak not a ranged one.

some of these sound interesting. but i think PMs should be treated as undead. if you wear armor they cant see ur arm so a clerics hamrs you, your hp goes ^^^

Soooooo....which one?

Palemasters of 10th level should be considered undead for the purpose of spells.

Er... and I like the hobgoblins and aanans.

Making PM's undead would be sexy.

Lol yes it is, any undead is sexy

Make PM's fail to turn undead. And any other spells that harm undead specifically.

They already get almost to what undead get now anyways.

You can't impliment half-undead unfortunately. While strength builds obviously won't use them they turn dex builds and casters into machines. 25% immunity to crits/sneaks is great, then you have the other increases to saves. The penalty being that they can be turned and some undead spells hurt them more. Basically clerics hurt them badly (searing light) but otherwise you're pretty safe. I mean with 50% turn resistance someone needs at least a 10+ modifier on there charisma score at level 20 to be able to turn them at equal level.

well technically, PMs are only 25% undead, as its only their skin and arm.

Casas · Post by **Casas** » Mon Apr 16, 2007 4:10 pm

Turn goes by level only.. so their hit die vs the other hit die.. CHA mod only affects HOW many.

Jack: Skin and one arm is more than 25%.. considering your epidermis is your largest organ.

Not entirely true. This comes from turning PC's as outsiders (rak shape). If it works anything like that then cha. has some sort of roll in it....also SR on an outsider increases there difficulty in turning so that might come into play with druid half-undead. Anywho I'm not entirely sure how it works but if it works on PC's like it does with Outsider PC's then cha definately has some roll in it other then just number of.
