Azer

[cely]

This is probably overpowered, but here goes nothing:

http://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/azer ... Characters

Azer characters possess the following racial traits.

* +2 Strength, +2 Dexterity, +2 Constitution, +2 Intelligence, +2 Wisdom, -2 Charisma.
* Medium size.
* An azer’s base land speed is 30 feet.
* Darkvision: Azers can see in the dark up to 60 feet.
* Racial Hit Dice: An azer begins with two levels of outsider, which provide 2d8 Hit Dice, a base attack bonus of +2, and base saving throw bonuses of Fort +3, Ref +3, and Will +3.
* Racial Skills: An azer’s outsider levels give it skill points equal to 5 × (8 + Int modifier). Its class skills are Appraise, Climb, Craft, Hide, Jump, Listen, Search, and Spot.
* Racial Feats: An azer’s outsider levels give it one feat.
* +6 natural armor bonus.
* Special Attacks (see above): Heat.
* Special Qualities (see above): Immunity to fire, spell resistance equal to 13 + class levels, vulnerability to cold.
* Automatic Languages: Common, Ignan. Bonus Languages: Abyssal, Aquan, Auran, Celestial, Infernal, Terran.
* Favored Class: Fighter.
* Level adjustment +4.
* I can finally create a character that matches my forum avatar.

It'd take forever to level with ECL +4, maybe strip some bonuses out and drop it to ECL +3.

The +6 Natural AC isn't that overpowered later on in the game since its easy to get +5 AC items, and they won't stack.

Perhaps this to make it ECL 3:

Azer characters possess the following racial traits.

* Stats: +2 Str, +2 Dex, +2 Con, -2 Int, -2 Wis, -2 Cha
* Darkvision
* +6 Natural AC
* Special Attack: Inferno 1/day at Class Level
* Immunity to Fire
* Spell Resistance 5 + class level
* 100% Vulnerability to Cold
* Favored Class: Fighter
* ECL 3

Sounds a bit too similar to our other ecl 3 subraces. How about this instead:

Azer characters possess the following racial traits.

Stats: +2 Str, -2 Dex(side effect of being short and stocky), +2 Con, -2 Int, +2 Wis(wisdom comes with the beard), -4 Cha (flaming dwarf running your direction, what do you do? )

* Darkvision

* +6 Natural AC

* Special Attack: Inferno 1ce/day. Caster level is 1/2 Azer's current level.

* Special Ability: How about a on hit-fire dmg shield to make things interesting. The Azer recieves this ability at level 10. [Animation: Immolation effect] The Azer's skin becomes the incarnation of flame, burning all in its path. Duration: 6 rounds + 1/level. Damage: d6 fire, +1 every other level. This damage shield stacks with those cast by spells.

* Immunity to Fire, naturally.

* 100% Vulnerability to Cold

* Favored Class: Barbarian

* ECL 3

Would it be possible to have the flaming head too?

Would it be possible to have the flaming head too?

very possible, just how tieflings get their tails. would be quite interesting to see...but i think a 100% vuln to cold is a bit too much, go for 50%

i would suggest...

+2Str, +2Con (normal dwarf bonus), +2Int, -2Cha (normal dwarf penalty)
Darkvision
+6Natural AC
100% Immunity to Fire
50% Vulnerability to Cold
Inferno 3/day at Azer's level (not a very damaging spell, just annoying)
Must be Chaotic
ECL 2 (only given overall 50% bonus to immunities, just like the Genasi's)

-or-

+2Str, +2Dex, +2con, +2int, -2Cha
Darkvision
+6Natural AC
100% Immunity to Fire
75% Vulnerability to Cold
Inferno 3/day
Immunity to Blind (guy with a flaming head shouldnt be very vulnerable to bright light)
+1 universal saves
Must be Chaotic
ECL 3

*edit* and Azer's are normally favored class: fighter, right? that would apply to both. ooh, and you could replace the almost useless Inferno with Elemental Shield. 2/day, 1round/lvl...so 80rounds of elemental shield at lvl 40. perhaps since its a racial ability it could have a different visual than standard elemental shield, and perhaps stack with other types of magical shields
