Race Ideas

What features need to be changed to make the race more balanced? -Qeiram

Balance/Wording Issues:

• Unarmored Bonus? That's not a thing. Use the proper wording for unarmored defenses from something like lizardfolk. It should be something ~11 + dex mod
• Darkvision needs to be written out.
• Horns split into two traits with names that need more creativity. The horns used to attack should also use standardized natural weapon + unarmed strikes language a la tabaxi.
• As second soul is, it round counts and works better as a class feature. It also scales beyond 5th level and is not a damage scale like dragonborn. Should be rewritten completely to be more like shifter maybe.
• Priestess makes no sense. It sounds more like a background in this case if its based on your birth. Maybe use it as a racial feat or something.
• Total of 4 ASI for no good reason.
• Light ward just flat absorbs 1d4 damage. Doesn't even say how to use it. Wording of recharge is also incorrect.
• Dark sphere needs wording clean up on how its used.
• Capitalization issues. (Damage types are not capitalized, eg.)

Lore Issue:

• This history is WAY too specific for this race to be easily implemented into a standard game.
• It's just a half-dragon with some souped up specific lore.--Yanied (talk) 15:28, 17 February 2021 (MST)
