Wild Empathy (Ex): A ape-totem barbarian can improve the attitude of an animal. This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check to improve the attitude of a person. The barbarian rolls 1d20 and adds his ranger level and his Charisma modifier to determine the wild empathy check result. The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly. To use wild empathy, the barbarian and the animal must be able to study each other, which means that they must be within 30 feet of one another under normal visibility conditions. Generally, influencing an animal in this way takes 1 minute, but, as with influencing people, it might take more or less time. The barbarian can also use this ability to influence a magical beast with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2, but he takes a -4 penalty on the check.

Climb Speed (Ex):An ape-totem barbarian gains a climb speed equal to one-half his base land speed (round down to the nearest 5-foot interval). At fifth level, his climb speed becomes equal to his full base land speed.

Every three levels thereafter, the barbarian gains an additional +2 bonus to intimidate checks. You can make an intimidate check with a DC equal to 10+the target's HD as a move action. If you succeed, the target becomes shaken. If you beat the DC by five or more, the target instead becomes frightened.

A light that breaks line of effect or moves more than 60 feet from the lantern totem barbarian winks out of existence and must be summoned again. Whenever you use spear of light, all the lights currently in existence are set off, firing their own spears of light using your attack modifier. These lights do not have to aim at the same target as you, but they must be within 30 feet of their target and have a line of effect against them.

Lights of Truth (Su): 1/round as a free action, a lantern totem barbarian can subject a single creature or object struck by a lance of light from either himself or one of his lights to the effects of a targeted dispel magic effect, using his barbarian level as his caster level for the effect, with no maximum caster level.

He does not lose 1 hit point for performing a standard or otherwise strenuous action while at 0 hit points. When reduced below –1 hit points, he does not fall unconscious. He does not automatically lose 1 hit point each round when at –1 to –9 hit points. When his current hit points drop below negative (10+Con mod x barbarian level), he immediately dies. This ability is in addition to the usual benefits of rage. This ability replaces the standard barbarian's rage ability. Then he would otherwise gain another use of Rage, he instead gains additional uses of undying rage.

Diehard (Ex): The boar totem barbarian gains diehard as a bonus feat, even if they don't meet the prerequisites.

Mettle (Ex): At 2rd level and higher, a boar-totem barbarian can resist magical and unusual attacks with great willpower or fortitude. If he makes a successful Will or Fortitude save against an attack that normally would have a lesser effect on a successful save (such as any spell with a saving throw entry of Will half or Fortitude partial), he instead completely negates the effect. An unconscious or sleeping barbarian does not gain the benefit of mettle.

Vitality (Ex): At 3rd level and higher, a boar-totem barbarian gains fast healing 5 while in rage. This increases to fast healing 10 at sixth level, and increases by 5 every three levels thereafter.

Martyr's Might (Ex): At fifth level and higher, the boar totem barbarian gains a +1 to attack and damage rolls for every successful attack made against him in the previous round.

This ability replaces the standard barbarian's rage, and when the barbarian would normally gain additional uses of rage, he instead gains additional uses of Cute Rage. When the bunny totem barbarian would normally gain greater or mighty rage, he gains an additional +2 bonus to strength, dexterity, and charisma.

He can’t move through enemies, unless he succeeds on the appropriate Tumble check.

AC Bonus (Ex): Starting at 2nd level, a bunny totem barbarian can add his Charisma modifier as a bonus to Armor Class, so long as he wears light armor, is unencumbered, and does not use a shield.

Cuteness (Ex): At 3rd level and every three levels thereafter, a bunny totem barbarian gains a +2 bonus to all Cha-based checks.

Super Bunnie Punch (Ex): Beyond anything else, bunny totem barbarians somehow come off as just so gosh-darn cute in the way they try to act tough. When the bunny totem barbarain strikes an enemy with a confirmed critical hit, it doesn't matter now much it hurts, it's just so laughable that the target of the attack must make a Will save (DC 10+1/2 barbarian level+Cha), or be effected as though by the spell Hideous Laughter (http://dungeons.wikia.com/wiki/SRD:Hideous_Laughter). Unlike the spell, this is not a Mind-Affecting effect, or even magic in nature.

Tentacle: Your aide gains a tentacle attack that deals 1d4 damage (assuming a medium aide). This tentacle has an additional 5 feet of reach beyond the creature's normal reach.

Wings: Your Aide grows wings, which grant it a fly speed equal to twice it's base land speed with good maneuverability. If your aide already has a fly speed, use whichever speed or maneuverability is better.

Fast: Your aide gains a +2 dodge bonus to AC and reflex saves.

Clever: Your aide's intelligence increases to one-half your intelligence score and it gains a +2 bonus to will saves.

Might of Madness: You gain a +2 bonus to strength while this mutation is active. For every five levels of barbarian you have, this bonus increase by one.

Twisted legs: You gain a +10 foot bonus to land speed and a +10 bonus to jump checks. In addition, the DC for jump checks is not doubled if you do not have a running start.

Chameleon Skin: With a move action, you gain a +10 bonus to hide checks as long as you remain still. When using this ability, you can hide without cover or concealment as long as you're adjacent to a wall or object at least equal to your size.

Warped Reflexes: You gain a +2 dodge bonus to AC, reflex saves, and initiative checks while this mutation is active.

Unnatural Recovery: You gain fast healing 1 while this mutation is active. For every five levels of barbarian you have, this fast healing increases by one.

Touch of Unshaping (Su): 2/day at 5th level, as a standard action, a chaos totem barbarian can make a melee touch attack against a corporeal creature. If the attack succeeds, the target must make a will save (DC 10+1/2 barbarian level+cha) or lose it's cohesion, becoming a churning mass of ever-shifting protean flesh. The affected creature is unable to use, wear, or hold any item, and cannot attack. The takes a -4 to dexterity as long as it remains unshaped, and can move 10 feet or one-quarter speed with a move action, whichever is less. Each round, the target must make another will save or take one point of wisdom drain. If he succeeds this save, he manages to return to his normal form, and can remain like so for one minute. After one minute, the creature must make another will save. If he suceeds, he can remain in his normal form for another minute, but if he fails, takes one point of wisdom drain and he collapses back into an amorphous pile of flesh, and must begin making saves once again to resist wisdom drain and return to his normal form. A creature that reaches 0 wisdom due to this effect completely loses it's mind, becoming a mindless pile of flesh. A spell of the polymorph school does not remove the unshaped condition, but fixes his form for the duration of the spell. A restoration, heal, or greater restoration spell can return an unshaped creature to normal, but a separate restoration is needed to return drained wisdom. The chaos totem barbarian can use this ability an additional time/day for every five levels he has above 5th.

Dragon: A dragon-faced chimera totem barbarian can make a breath weapon attack as a standard action.

Burning Fury (Su): When entering a burning fury, a fire totem barbarian gains a +4 bonus to strength and constitution. In addition, his body ignites, becoming a walking inferno, though these flames do no harm to him. Each attack he makes with a natural weapon or metallic weapon deals an additional 1d6 fire damage +1d6/five levels you have in barbarian, and each creature striking him with a non-reach melee weapon or natural attack takes the same. This ability replaces the standard barbarian's rage, and when the barbarian would normally gain additional uses of rage, he instead gains additional uses of burning fury. When the fire totem barbarian would normally gain greater or mighty rage, he gains an additional +2 bonus to strength and constitution.

Forgeborn (Ex): A fire totem barbarian gains a bonus to craft (blacksmithing, armorsmithing, or weaponsmithing) checks equal to his barbarian level. He gains a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls with a weapon of his creation, and 1/day with an hour of work can turn any metallic weapon, armor, or shield into any other weapon, armor, or shield he is proficient with that weighs equal or less than the original. He does not need access to a forge or tools to do so. Enchantments that were on the original weapon or armor can be transferred to a new form as long as they are still applicable.

Wildfire (Su): A fire totem barbarian can, once during each rage, unleash his fiery spirit. All creatures within 5 ft x his constitution modifier take 1d6 fire damage.

Each creature that fails the reflex save also catches fire, taking 1d6 fire damage for 1d4 rounds. Affected creatures can take a move action to extinguish the flames. Every three levels thereafter, the initial fire damage and burn damage dealt by this ability increases by 1d6.

Cracking the Ice (Ex): When making a melee attack against an object, she ignores half of it's harness.

Frostheart (Su): An ice totem barbarian's skin is incredibly cold, painfully so, but this leaves her unfortunately vulnerable to flames. At 2nd level and higher, she deals frost damage equal to her barbarian level when ever she touches or is touched by an enemy. Metallic weapons conduct this heat. However, whenever an ice totem barbarian takes fire damage, she adds one-half her barbarian level to the damage taken. This ability may be suppressed or resumed with a swift action.

Skin of Ice (Su): At 3rd level, a frost totem barbarian becomes inured to cold, gaining frost resistance 5 and gaining a +1 bonus to natural armor. Every three levels thereafter, she gains another 5 points of frost resistance and the bonus to natural armor increases by one.

Any creature within 10 feet of the magma trap when it goes off takes half as much fire damage unless they make a reflex save (DC 10+1/2 barbarian level+cha). All squares within 10 feet of a triggered magma trap are considered difficult terrain for the rest of the encounter. A magma trap that is created directly beneath a creature does not go off unless the creature doesn't move off the square before the magma totem's next turn. A DC 20 spot check is required to identify that a square is a magma trap. A created magma trap lasts for one round per point of charisma bonus you have.

This strike deals 1d4+cha damage, +1d4 extra damage at 3rd level and every three levels thereafter.

Armor of Sand (Su): A sand totem barbarian has learned to use his sand to defend himself. A sand totem barbarian can, as an immediate action before the attack is rolled he may gain a cover bonus to AC equal to half his class level 1/round. He can use this an additional time each round for every two levels he has in barbarian.

Master of Sand (Su): A sand totem barbarian can use his sand as effectively as he could his body. A sand totem barbarian that strikes an opponent with a scouring strike may, as a free action 1/round, attempt a grapple, trip, or bull rush attempt. A sand totem's sand has all the same bonuses and penalties to the check as he does, but it may use his charisma modifier instead of his strength modifier on the check, and can bull rush the opponent in any direction. The sand totem barbarian gains a +1 bonus to these checks for every three levels of barbarian he has.

Sandwalk (Su): A sand totem barbarian can use his sand to support him temporarily. At will, a sand totem barbarian may air walk, as the spell at will, but may only air walk for a number of consecutive rounds at a time equal to his charisma modifier.

Vision within the cloud is obscured, preventing all sight beyond 5 feet, granting total concealment. Creatures 5 feet away have concealment. The smoke totem barbarian can see perfectly through his personal cloud. finally, any creature other than the smoke totem barbarian entering or beginning it's turn inside the black cloud takes fire damage equal to the smoke totem barbarian's level. the smoke totem barbarian can only have one personal cloud at a time. If she makes another personal cloud while another is still active, the active cloud immediately dissipates. A smoke totem barbarian can dismiss a personal cloud with a move action.

Smoke Armor (Ex): A smoke totem barbarian within their personal cloud is especially hard to hit. Whenever an attack or spell has a miss chance against her due to concealment provided by her personal cloud, the miss chance increases by 5% for every two levels of barbarian she has.

15th: The cloud becomes thicker, nearly solid, actively opposing anyone trying to move through it. Entering any square occupied by the personal cloud costs twice as much movement to move through, and a creature cannot take 5-foot steps into or through the cloud. The smoke totem barbarian is not affected by this thickness. In addition, ranged attacks into or through the cloud become completely impossible.

18th: A smoke totem barbarian can turn her personal cloud into a massive bank of widespread destruction. 1/day for every three levels of barbarian she has, she can expand her personal cloud, giving it a radius of 5 ft x her barbarian level for a number of rounds equal to her constitution modifier by taking a standard action.

It blocks all sight (even darkvision) within it and causes the ground in the area to be icy. A creature can walk within or through the area of sleet at half normal speed with a DC 10 Balance check.

This penalty increases by 1 every odd numbered level thereafter.

Regrowth (Ex): While in rage, a fungus totem barbarian gains fast healing equal to his barbarian level.

Spore Varieties (Ex): At 3rd level and every three levels thereafter, a fungus totem barbarian can develop a single new effect with his spores. Using these abilities is a standard action. Their abilities replaces the usual effects of the spores, though any effects that require a save use the same formula.

Spore Effects:

Obscuring Cloud: This cloud of spores is thick and dark green, and it hangs in the air. This cloud obscures all sight, including darkvision, beyond 5 feet. A creature within 5 feet has concealment (attacks have a 20% miss chance). Creatures farther away have total concealment (50% miss chance, and the attacker can’t use sight to locate the target). It hangs in the air for a number of minutes equal to your con mod. In a moderate wind (11+ mph) it disperses in 4 rounds. In a strong wind (21+ mph) it disperses in 1 round.

Slumber: This cloud looks faintly blue, and any creature in the cloud must make a fortitude save or fall asleep. This cloud can only affect a number of HD equal to his barbarian level with each use. These spores take time to grow. After using this ability, it cannot be used again for 1d4 rounds.

Rapport: This cloud shimmers in the air like glitter. All creatures inside the cloud can communicate telepathically for a number of minutes equal to his con mod, up to a range of 120 feet. A successful Fortitude saving throw negates the effect, but it is harmless. All allies under this effect are in constant communication. If one is aware of a particular danger, they all are. If one in the group is not flat-footed, none of them are. Nobody in a group is considered flanked unless all of them are.

Purple Haze: This cloud of spores has a faint purplish color to it. All creatures entering the cloud must make a fortitude save or start to hallucinate vividly. All attacks made and spells cast by the subject have a 10% chance to fail, targeting something that's not there. This chance increases by 5% every odd-numbered level above 3rd.

Devouring Spores: This cloud looks bright green. When a fungus totem barbarian uses this ability, all creatures within the cloud take 2d6 points of damage, +1d6 for every odd numbered level after 3rd. Creatures that pass a fortitude save take half damage.

Animate: This cloud looks gray and wispy. When a fungus totem barbarian uses this ability, he can animate any corpses within the cloud as servants. A servant has all the characteristics of a zombie of the same size, except that it retains its previous creature type and it cannot be turned or otherwise affected as an undead. He can only control a maximum number of HD equal to 4x his barbarian level, and cannot animate a servant with more HD than 2x his barbarian level. These servants crumble to dust after one minute per level of barbarian you have.

Stun Spore: This cloud looks yellowish and sickly. When a fungus totem barbarian uses this ability, all creatures inside the cloud must make a fortitude or take a -2 penalty to dexterity for a number of minutes equal to your con mod. This penalty increases by 1 at every odd-numbered level above 3rd.

Healing Spores: This cloud looks pale green and smells sweet. When a fungus totem barbarian uses this ability, all creatures within the area gain fast healing 2, +1 for every odd-numbered level above 3rd. This ability lasts for a number of rounds equal to his constitution modifier. A successful Fortitude saving throw negates the effect, but it is harmless.


Decompose (Ex): A fungus totem barbarian may decompose the body of a fallen corporeal creature of at least small size as a full round action, gaining HP based on the size of the creature consumed and it's HD. If he has time, he may divide larger creatures into multiple medium-sized servings, though consuming one serving is still a full-round action.
{table=head]Size|HP (X=Target's HD)|Medium Servings

Stench (Ex): Any creature that ends it's movement or starts it's turn adjacent to a ghoul totem barbarian must make a fortitude save (DC 10+1/2 barbarian level+con) or become sickened for one round. Creatures that are sickened must make an additional save at the same DC. If they fail the second save, they are instead nauseated for one round and sickened for one minute thereafter.

Gripping Pain (Ex): 1/round while in a rage, a ghoul totem barbarian can make an enemy hit with a melee attack make a fortitude save (DC 10+ 1/2 class level+cha mod) or be paralyzed for one round. Every three levels thereafter, the duration of the paralysis increases by one round.

Fang and Tail Style (Ex): The snake totem barbarian is automatically proficient with the whip, Nagaika, and Dagger-whip. She also is proficient with all light piercing weapons.

Improved Trip (Ex): The snake totem barbarian gains improved trip as a bonus feat, even if she doesn't meet the prerequisites.

Sneak Attack (Ex): If a snake totem barbarian can catch an opponent when he is unable to defend himself effectively from her attack, she can strike a vital spot for extra damage. The barbarian’s attack deals extra damage any time her target would be denied a Dexterity bonus to AC (whether the target actually has a Dexterity bonus or not), or when the barbarian flanks her target. This extra damage is 1d6 at 3st level, and it increases by 1d6 every three barbarian levels thereafter. Should the barbarian score a critical hit with a sneak attack, this extra damage is not multiplied. Ranged attacks can count as sneak attacks only if the target is within 30 feet. With a sap (blackjack) or an unarmed strike, a barbarian can make a sneak attack that deals nonlethal damage instead of lethal damage. She cannot use a weapon that deals lethal damage to deal nonlethal damage in a sneak attack, not even with the usual -4 penalty. A barbarian can sneak attack only living creatures with discernible anatomies—undead, constructs, oozes, plants, and incorporeal creatures lack vital areas to attack. Any creature that is immune to critical hits is not vulnerable to sneak attacks. The barbarian must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot and must be able to reach such a spot. A barbarian cannot sneak attack while striking a creature with concealment or striking the limbs of a creature whose vitals are beyond reach.

Serpent's Coils (Ex): A snake totem barbarian gains a +4 bonus to Disarm and Trip checks.

Treat this swarm as an animal companion with your swarm totem barbarian level as the effective druid level. Once this selection is made, you cannot choose another swarm later. You are immune to the swarm attack of your swarm. You and your swarm gain certain benefits from this connection. Your swarm uses your constitution modifier to determine HP and save DCs, and it can hide inside your body, becoming immune to all outside attacks and effects. You are constantly surrounded by a cloud of vermin that occupies your space. The cloud grants the swarm totem barbarian concealment from any creature outside the cloud, but does not affect his vision.

In addition, any creature passing through a swarm's space is subject to the swarm's damage, and it's distraction ability.

Reinforcements (Ex): At 7th level, once during each buzzing fury, a swarm totem barbarian can call forth the reserves of his swarm dwelling inside his body as a standard action. Doing so creates a mini-swarm in a square adjacent to him. This swarm has all the abilities and statistics of the full swarm, except it has 1/4 the swarm's maximum HP. The swarm totem barbarian may either use this swarm as a second swarm, or he may join it with the main swarm. Doing so is a free action that requires the mini-swarm to be adjacent to the main swarm. By joining the swarm, the mini swarm heals the main swarm a number of HP equal to it's current HP. Any excess HP gained in this manner is gained as temporary HP. Every three levels after 7th, the swarm totem barbarian may use this ability an additional time during each rage.

A successful save means the victim is immune to the tarrasque totem's frightful presence for 24 hours. On a failure, creatures with HD less than half your barbarian level become panicked for 4d6 rounds and those with equal or less HD than your barbarian level become shaken for 4d6 rounds.

If he makes a successful Will or Fortitude save against an attack that normally would have a lesser effect on a successful save (such as any spell with a saving throw entry of Will half or Fortitude partial), he instead completely negates the effect. An unconscious or sleeping barbarian does not gain the benefit of mettle.

Every three levels thereafter, he may use this ability an additional time during each rage.

Swooping Grab (Ex): A wyvern totem barbarian gains a +4 bonus to grapple checks made to move a grapple. In addition, the distance the grapple can be moved with a single check increases by 5 feet.

Every three levels thereafter, the distance a grapple can be moved with a single check increases by 5 feet.

Venom (Ex): A Wyvern totem barbarian no longer fears poisons, she welcomes them. A wyvern totem barbarian is immune to poisons.

Once per day with one hour of work, a wyvern totem barbarian can harvest a number of doses from her blood equal to one-half her constitution score. Harvesting poison in this way requires her to deal two damage to herself for each dose harvested. This damage is not subject to damage reduction.

I love it, but I have a couple of questions:

- Why does the Angel's aura of righteousness affect ALL creatures within 30 feet? Why not all hostile creatures? Or all evil creatures?

- Chain devil is missing the Whirling Frenzy ability. Entirely. It's, ah, not there.

- Do totems have alignment requirements, or can my Kyton Totem barb be CG? What about an extremist NE Barbarian who hunts down evil without mercy or remorse, drawing upon his Angel totem to slaughter the wicked?

Whirling Frenzy (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/classes/classFeatureVariants.htm#rageVariantWhirlingFrenzy ). I don't copy/paste it anymore to conserve characters. Considering I've had to expand this topic TWICE to hold all these, I thought it wise.

-Well, I'm not sure. What if they're not hostile, like, say, they think you're one of their own before you start flipping out and murderizing the evil cult?

-I'd say if it makes sense, go for it. Not my place to lay restrictions on you, only give options. I generally don't use alignment.

Oh, wow, a shiney new thread! Feels like moving into a bigger house.


Elemtal Totems

Fire Totem
Well, with the subsequent rounds of burn being 1d6/three levels, that probably be good. Thumbs up.


Water Totem
Yeah, well, it's a good ability either way.


Treant Totem
It works fair enough, allows the Treant totem to have an advantage over the barbarian if they fight in a forest, but only if they fight in a forest, so, acceptable trade-off. Thumbs up.


Vine Totem
That was one bad thing about that spell. It never said if the bonds were anchorred to anything, yet, what it does is dependant on whether or not the effect is anchorred to anything.

Looks good, dude. Thumbs up to the Vine.


Succubus Totem
Perhaps you should increase the range of the dazzling (just to 40 feet, no overkill or anything), and then remove the saving throw. That would be good.

Well, make Suggestion be 1/2 barb. level times per day, and the others be at will, and there shouldn't be any problems. It'd get a good Thumbs up as a capstone.

New totems to work on.


Angel Totem
Evil's Foe is cool. Gives a decent bonus to a situational circumstance. It wouldn't exactly be on par with the Ooze totems AC bonus at first level, though, if it weren't for the complete protection from evil summoned creatures. Again, situational, but, acceptably powerful. Thumbs up.

So, is Aura of Righteousness only once per rage? Either way, very powerful ability. Might have actually been a bit above Lion's Roar, if Lion's Roar didn't cause them to run away or still have a reduced effect on a save. All the same, might wanna make this a Mind-Affecting ability, so to make it more on par with Lion's Roar.

Ah, stunning blow. Very powerful ability. Lifted from the Astral Deva a bit? This'll get a strong Thumbs up.

Smite the Unholy is powerful. A static +5 to attack and damage is like having +5 of extra enhancements on your sword. Definately makes this worthy of being a capstone. This totem is brutal and very adept at killing everything. Thumbs up.


Chain Devil Totem
Ah, cool pic.

Spiked chain and combat reflexes. Awesome. Thumbs up.

Improved Trip. Ah. Getting this guy straight into the open path of the chain tripper, eh? Nothing wrong with a bonus feat. Thumbs up.

Ah, a touch more AC and the ability to own anyone who would try and attack you. Can see a lot of guys with natural weapons being thrown at this guy, as that disarm ability is cruel. Kyton totem is getting pretty strong, though. Thumbs up.

Okay, how many attacks can the animated chain make per round? You coverred all the bases except for that one. Clear it up, and you get a Thumbs up to the entire Chain Devil totem, and all it's goth goodness.


Fungus Totem
Spores is a good ability. Makes the Fungus totem able to even the playing field a bit. Thumbs up.

Hydra totem back-up FH. Good Ability. Awesome. Thumbs up.

Oh, well, that is badass. Customizable spores! Course, gonna have to look at each one individually.

Obscuring Mist Spore is a good ability. Makes for some minor battlefield control. Nothing wrong with it. Thumbs up.

Slumber is extremely powerful. It can shut down an entire encounter with just a free action. Might wanna make the HD limit be a little lower (barb level - 6, perhaps), so that everything isn't passing out as soon as you get close enough.

Rapport is interesting. Neat little utility ability. Might could use some more power, though, to make it be on par with other spore abilities (maybe something like the Formian 'Hive Mind' ability).

Purple Haze is hilarious, but also extremely powerful. Confusion doesn't seem like it'd be that good, but it can shut pretty much anything down. Might could use a nerf.

Devouring Spores is acceptable. Nice little boost to damage. Thumbs up.

Animate is cool. They're just zombies, of course, so, no real tipping of the power market there. Strong ability, but Thumbs up.

Stun Spore is almost as strong as Slumber. Stronger, in fact, as HD don't matter. This will likely shut down combat just as easily as Purple Haze or Slumber.

Healing Spores is neat. Cleric Barbarian to the resque. Can't see a friendly person walking into a cloud that would deal them penalties to stuff, of course. All the same, Thumbs up. Good way to keep the party at full health between combats.

Decompose lets the barbarian heal between fights. Fair enough. Good flavor ability, too. Thumbs up.


Marilith Totem
You actually want the pic to be of an actual Marilith? Or do you need another pic?

Six Sword Style is mean, and actually a bit better than most of the TWF barbarians that have already been made. Not by much, however, so, this will get a Thumbs up

Okay, nice to know that the Bulette totem gets natural armor XD. Good ability. Thumbs up.

Ah, free feats. Never bad. Thumbs up.

Tactical Master is interesting, and reminescent of Dark Knowledge. Good ability, none-the-less. Thumbs up to the Marilith as a whole.


Nymph Totem
Problem on the table.

Whirling Cha Frenzy. Interesting. The cha boost doesn't do much other than raise the DCs of the abilities gained later on. Course, that penalty to attack rolls makes for some heavy power. Thumbs up.

Attraction is interesting. Skill boosts don't mess anything up, so, Thumbs up.

Dazing one opponent once every round. Really Cool. Awesome ability. Thumbs up to Stunning Glance.

Ah, the Succubus 'out of combat' ability. Nothing wrong there, it's a good ability. Thumbs up.

Crushing Rejection is a massive de-buff, really. Awesome capstone, and as a swift action too. Seems that the entirety of the Nymph totem gets a strong Thumbs up.


Pit Fiend Totem
Ah, anti-Angel level one ability. Awesome, in the same way Evil's foe is awesome. Thumbs up.

So, is Terrible Fury only once per rage? Same as with Aura of Righteousness, though, it's a very powerful ability. Same for that ability, though, might wanna make this a Mind-Affecting ability, so to make it more on par with Lion's Roar.

Ah, a constrict ability. Awesome. Thumbs up.

Crush the Pure. Reverse Smite the Unholy. Good ability, and powerful. It will get a strong Thumbs up as well.


Swarm Totem
Shino is so cool.

Skindwelling Swarm is very, very strong. Makes the Swarm totem immediately ahead of most other totems, in fact. Maybe the fact that it's a swarm creature helps mitigate the fact, but, it's a strong one all the same. Course, with the special rage, it's actually a balancing factor. Make the rage less powerful, and the movement replacement more powerful. Very cool ability. Strong thumbs up.

Buzzing Fury is interesting. Weaker than the average rage, but, with the added touch on the boost to damage for the swarm, and the awesome swarm companion, it turns out okay. Thumbs up.

Swarm Sense's is very useful. Awesome little ability there, to say the least. Thumbs up.

Ah, scaling Swarm damage. Thumbs up.

Split Swarm is weird. It's an animal companion swarm, so, has an acceptable chance to die, and it can't do any of the insane things that splitting yourself entails, so, no real problem on that front. You just have some weird wording. You state that the Swarm totem cannot split their swarm into anything smaller than a 5 foot square, then provide examples dealing with 1 foot squares, and the total size of the swarms in your examples, is confusing. These are 10 foot squares, not 8 square feet. The ability, over-all, of course, is just a bit too complex to rely on, or even explain effectively. Might wanna scrap it and try a different idea.

Succubus Totem
Actually, I was considering changing the passion's penalty from what it stands at to something more akin to the nymph's ability.

Changed that ability actually. They're at-will, but if a creature makes the save it can't be affected for 24 hours. Balanced?


Angel Totem
That's not really a fair comparison. An ooze totem's ability is supposed to replace his armor, this one is just a boost.

It's at-will while in rage. Mind-affecting is a good plan. Or perhaps call it a fear effect? Which would you suggest?

Well, it is static, but it's on evil only. Should I put some more limiters on that?


Chain Devil Totem
Should I put an additional limiter on the disarm? I'm worried about it.

I... I'm not sure. I can't find anything about how often a chain devil's chains attack either.


Fungus Totem
I don't suppose you can help find a better pic than a sporeggar?

Slumber: They're all standard actions, first off. Perhaps I should put a limiter of 'only affects a total # of HD = barb level with each use'?

Hive mind sounds like a good plan.

Maybe a shortened duration? What other effects would you recommend to represent hallucination?

Suggestions to fix?

The spore abilities replace the standard spore effect. So, it wouldn't give you a penalty to nothin'.


Marilith Totem
Couldn't find decent non-marilith pic. Work your magic for me!

Hmm. Looking at it, the other abilities are usually all 'take no penalty when wielding a light weapon', which is basically removing a -2 penalty. Basically what I did here, just applied it to a different weapon. How's that much better?

You saw nothing >.>

I thought it fit the tactician/general theme of them.


Nymph Totem
Nuts. *goes to fix*

Is the attack penalty too steep?

It does require some setting up, though. I based the ability off crushing despair.


Pit Fiend Totem
Actually, pit fiend came first. So, it's the other way around.

Same questions from angel totem apply here, more or less.


Swarm Totem
Isn't he just?

I was hoping the whole 1st-level package would balance out, but I'm still not sure. What's the biggest problem with the swarm ability you can see?

Those examples are in 5-foot squares (one 'square'), not 1-foot squares. A flying swarm is a cube, so a 10-foot cube would break down into eight 5-foot cubes. Normally, a swarm can take any shape as long as all it's cubes are contiguous.

Really, the ability I'm trying to do is make this totem into a sort of battlefield controller. The multiple swarms would allow him to apply damage and distraction to multiple enemies over a large area. I was originally considering just giving him extra swarms, but I thought that would be too much.

Succubus Totem
If you did that then what would happen with the Glamor's Power ability? Would it just vanish? Would the Succubus become just a 'darker style' Nymph totem?

Seems good. That capstone will get a Thumbs up.


Angel/Pit Fiend Totem
Yeah, true. The abilities come out good, all the same.

Mind-affecting would be the most direct. It's not intending to make them scared, more to make them feel small.

No, making it be more restricted would make it too situational. Having a large push of power against a particular foe is impressive, but there's no real harm in it.


Chain Devil Totem
You probably should put a limiter on the disarm. Making it only be once a round, and have the scaling part be the sheild bonus to AC.

This is why Chain Devils never actually use that animate chains ability. The DM doesn't know how it works. The judgement is up to you, at to what it should be, for this case. Maybe 1 attack each round per chain would be good.

Slumber: This would work well if it, as you said, only affected HD equal to the barb level, and, at the same time, wasn't at will (a 'once every 1d4 rounds' would be suitable).

Purple Haze: Making the confusion last for only one round is still going to be impressive. Lowering to that point would be a good 'ballpark', but it would still be powerful. Other effects for hallucinations would be Wisdom damage, easily.

Stun Spore: Perhaps have Stun Spore deal damage to their Dexterity, to represent the fact that they are being mildly paralyzed by it?


Marilith Totem
I beleive in magic:
Indestructable (http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o76/mardyr/untitled.jpg)
Smokey (http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o76/mardyr/_unleash_hell_by_karincoma.jpg)
Demon + General = Marilith (http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o76/mardyr/Angel_or_Demon.jpg)
Demon + Arms = Marilith (http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o76/mardyr/Armoured_Demon_by_Andead.jpg)
Demon + Warrior = Marilith (http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o76/mardyr/demon_knight_by_Edragon.jpg)
Demon + Swords = Marilith (http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o76/mardyr/Demon_Samurai_by_Mr__Jack.jpg)

The weird thing about the Marilith is that it's so close to being a human, that an average half-fiend with a sword could work, yet it's so stupidly difficult to find one with the correct feel.

It's better because they are weilding longswords, a weapon that is much better than what most of the others are having to weild to get the same benefits. Of course, this is just the ability to use the swords. Most of the others have added abilities on top of this, and so, the six sword style turns out only slightly better than them.


Nymph Totem
Nah, the penalty is just strong enough to make the fact that the rest of the rage does little-to-nothing, seem to not matter. That penalty is the main aim of the rage, currently. The other parts are nice, but they wont be the core center of attention with this rage variant.


Swarm Totem
Well, generally speaking, Swarms have a wide range of traits and can be pretty hard to run/understand. This would be a totem that would require some mental investment on the part of the player in order for him to know what he is doing. That, and Swarms are particularly resilient early on in the game, seeing as damage dealing attacks are all but ineffectual against them. Not to mention the distraction effect is pretty mean. It should work out, though.

As for making the Swarm totem a battlefield controller, there are simpler ways to manage that. As is, without this ability, he's actually still a powerful battlefield controller. He can spread his swarm into a wall that makes everyone who passes through it make a save or be nauseated. He can make a pool of flying wasps around him that needs to be chopped down before he can be attacked. If you would like the Swarm totem to have a strong battlefield controller capstone, however, you need to prevent movement, slow movement, funnel enemies where you want them to go, and just pick up enemies and put them down where you want them to be. Perhaps the ability for the Swarm to make bullrushes, or prevent opponents from moving if they occupy the same space.

Succubus Totem
It would be more her-centric. The nymph sort of debuffs groups, but I was thinking succubus would be looking more toward personal bonuses. They have a penalty to attack just her, she's the only one to get the bonuses against them...


Angel/Pit Fiend Totem
Alright, mind affecting works.

I'm worried that 'evil' is a really, really broad category. Maybe I should just make it affect the evil clerics/paladins/outsiders.


Chain Devil Totem
Alright, that works.

Alright, one attack works. Should I make this scale, maybe he gets another chain/5 levels, or leave it static?


Fungus Totem


Slumber: This would work well if it, as you said, only affected HD equal to the barb level, and, at the same time, wasn't at will (a 'once every 1d4 rounds' would be suitable).

Purple Haze: Making the confusion last for only one round is still going to be impressive. Lowering to that point would be a good 'ballpark', but it would still be powerful. Other effects for hallucinations would be Wisdom damage, easily.

Stun Spore: Perhaps have Stun Spore deal damage to their Dexterity, to represent the fact that they are being mildly paralyzed by it?


Marilith Totem
See why I had so much trouble?

Could I do something to nerf it without just getting rid of the ability?


Swarm Totem
Well, the thing about swarms is that they have to be over an enemy at the end of their move to deal damage. Perhaps the swarm is treated as difficult terrain, and anyone passing through the swarm is subject to it's swarm attack?

I still like the intent of the split swarm, though. He doesn't do a lot of damage, but he's great at occupying a large space and dealing damage to a lot of enemies at once. Maybe he can make micro-swarms? That could replace the DR...

Rithaniel
2010-06-23, 01:07 PM
Succubus Totem
Then it would be essentially the Nymph totem, except her allies aren't helped. That would make it be a step down, a little different, but, in the end, a little less fun.


Angel/Pit Fiend Totem
Two out of three enemies aren't evil, unless the DM isn't creative. That is a majority. This ability effects a minority, in other words. There are a large number of abilities that give bonuses similar to these, against more than a majority (i.e. 'everyone'). Stop worrying about it.


Chain Devil Totem
Only having one chain from levels 5-10 would be boring. Make it be up to 3 chains, and then an extra one every 5 levels there-after.


Fungus Totem

vvvvv

Slumber: This would work well if it, as you said, only affected HD equal to the barb level, and, at the same time, wasn't at will (a 'once every 1d4 rounds' would be suitable).

Purple Haze: Making the confusion last for only one round is still going to be impressive. Lowering to that point would be a good 'ballpark', but it would still be powerful. Other effects for hallucinations would be Wisdom damage, easily.

Stun Spore: Perhaps have Stun Spore deal damage to their Dexterity, to represent the fact that they are being mildly paralyzed by it?


^^^^^


Marilith Totem
Well, not really. The Marilith has no flavour to aim for. The only flavor it has is 'snake lady with multiple arms', but, if you make it a 'snake lady' pic, it will still not look right. If you make it a 'guy with multiple arms' pic, it still will refuse to look right. So, your only choice in the matter is to pick a picture that you like, that can be argued to be leaning in the direction of the Marilith, and run with it.

Doesn't really need a nerf. If you insist, however, making them take a very minor penalty to something when dual weilding longswords would be in order. Like, a -1 penalty on one of the attack rolls, or some-such.


Swarm Totem
Difficult terrian will always fail when it comes to being an effective battlefield controller, as you either need to turn the entire field into difficult terrian, or the enemy will go around it. If you wanna make a good battlefield controller, you make walls or you stop (not simply impede) movement. Take these concepts into account when designing a 'battlefield controller'.

Seriously, Swarms are complex. Adding another little complication like this 'micro-swarm' idea, will either lead to an unusable class (due to it being too complicated to be understandable), or to a massive headache and you scrapping the idea all the same. Making more swarms is not a good idea either, as then you wind up with too many creatures or your side of the field. Perhaps, at the risk of making an unrealistic class feature, making an area grant concealment due to thousands of bugs in the space or make something akin to 'black tentacles' with everything being grappled by millions of flies, but don't allow the insects to make offensive moves, or take damage.

Admiral Squish
2010-06-23, 01:48 PM
Succubus Totem
Alright, I'll leave it be.


Chain Devil Totem
How about two chains? Three seems pushing it, I don't want him to be exceeding his totem quite that quickly.


Fungus Totem
I put it aside to give it a more in-depth look in a moment and then this happens...

Anyway, fixes applied. Made slumber have a 1d4 round recharge, turned purple haze into a chance for spell/attack failure, and made stun spore a temporary dex penalty.


Swarm Totem
Perhaps the above ability, but they're also subject to the distraction ability? That way, they have a good chance of being stopped if they travel through the bug wall. It's not a perfect wall, but it's certainly a good one, and I can justify it in my head.

I don't think the micro swarm is really all that complicated. Hear out the mechanic before you condemn it. You can create a 5-foot swarm 1/day. This swarm has 1/4 the max HP of the normal swarm, but otherwise has all the same stats. This swarm can either function independantly, or merge with the main swarm, which heals it by however much HP the mini-swarm has at the time.

Also, there's now an ethereal totem.

I'm trying to work on manticore, but I'm having trouble. I think the tail spikes could be best depicted with a manyshot-like ability, but unless I expand the totem, there's no way for them to have access to manyshot. And beyond that, even, I'm concerned about how I should make it scale.

Ethereal Totem

So, Ethereal Totem takes wall-walking to a new level. Walk the ghost lands is NOT limited to 5ft when moving through solid objects and you can get far more uses per day than you could with shadow totem. Also, you get to ignore everything except abjuration magic and force effects. And you can move in any direction so really, however far you can run is how many 100s of feet you get to straight up ignore. This is an incredibly powerful and annoying ability, and you trade fast movement for it.

Sure, you can’t take your party with you (until level 5 – btw, what if you are larger than large? It should be your size, minimum large. Not that I like the ability itself), but… well, everything I said for shadow totem applies here. Same issue, really.

Seriously, this totem is much worse than the original shadow totem. I think you underestimate the power of dimensional abilities at low levels. (Granted they are awesome at all levels)

I think it would be better if you let them *jump* though the ethereal plane for a line-of-sight teleport as a move action. The 5th level ability could be a weaker shadow-pounce that lets them make a free attack at the end of any teleportation effect. Maybe the opponent is automatically flat-footed against the attack. The other abilities are fine.

Perhaps during the *jump* they are ethereal (as in, they move during the move action), but the nature of the ability requires them to already be able to see the destination before they enter the ethereal plane.

Monkey - I like it.

Succubus Totem
Well, the class still has the problem that, if a majority of the foes save against the dazzling, then the class starts struggling to hold it's own in combat. Weren't you planning on removing that save?


Chain Devil Totem
Two would be acceptable.


Fungus Totem
They look good. Fungus totem is actually a really fun looking class. (And, ah, you used that pic :smallbiggrin: ).


Swarm Totem
Well, you may have come across a pretty good idea there, actually, but, the problem with that is that only 1/day isn't much of a capstone. Course, if you leave it up at will, it will lead to a lot of creatures on your side of the field. A recharge counter might be a good idea there. Once every 1d4 rounds would be a good ammount. (also allows you to heal your swarm at the same time, too, so that's good.)


Beholder Totem
Ah, the Beholder, one of the scariest monsters in all of Dungeons and Dragons. Lets see how you did with it.

Ah, a 1d6 eyebeam that has a bit of a touch on charisma, in replacement of the fast movement. Usually, even with a 60 foot range and it being a ranged touch attack, just 1d6+cha damage isn't enough to add a new ability score into the mix. Of course, then again, this is in place of fast movement. Seems like a fair enough trade off, in that sense, actually. Thumbs up.

Wandering eye. Okay, so the guy is now using that eye lazor to greater versatility. Seems like a greater reliance on it, now. Still, it's fine. One question though, is whether the beholder totem can hit the same target twice with the eye-beams (2d6+(2xcha)?). Thumbs up.

Okay, now a new list of abilities appears. Taking them one on at a time.

Sleep. Powerful, but only up to (barb level) HD, so that's better. Not to mention it can only hit up to two targets, so, while it might be pretty powerful, it's not game-endingly powerful. Thumbs up.

Dispel. Awesome. Dispel Magic at will. See that so often on creatures that it's not even funny. Good to find a class that has it. Thumbs up.

Firey Destruction is just an energy change that destroys the target if it kills them. That's not useful, as that ammount of damage likely won't kill someone unless it's used over and over and over and over... Not to mention that fire damage is the most easily resisted energy. Perhaps you would be better suited having that one just maxmize the damage of the Destructive Glare (6+cha damage, and 6 more damage every three levels).

Freezing Beam. An energy change and the dex penalty. Awesome. Good all around, no real flaws, and it's useful. Thumbs up. Might wanna state that the dex penalty is cumulative if it's used on the same target over and over again.

Exhaustion. Neat. This is a good status condition to be able to inflict off-handedly. Thumbs up.

Stunning Glare has a chance to include a bit too much power. Course, it's only up to two targets. Might make the others a bit ignored. Perhaps nausea would work better, or some form of reverse nausea (only a standard action).

Charm Person, the eye-beam. Neat. Thumbs up.

Fear is a good debuff. Thumbs up.

Lift. Utility. Nothing wrong with it, it's a utility power. Thumbs up.

Distraction. You help your allies so good that they remember you long time. Good ability. Thumbs up.

Thundering Bolt. An energy change, and a much better chance to hit. Awesome. Thumbs up.

There, now that those are done, there is Double Take, which is a nice ability, and allows for even higher versatility with the eye lazors. That ability cannot get anything less than a full fledged Thumbs up.

One final note about the Beholder totem, however. It's got a high ammount of focus on Charisma, due to all of it's class features hinging on the ability score. This very well might either make the class features weak, as the barbarian doesn't put his attention on Cha as a barbarian, or it will make the barbarian mildly weaker as a melee barbarian, as he focuses on his str and con and the rage abilities more. That's the issue of MAD. Just something to keep in mind.


Ethereal Totem
Walk the Ghostlands is pretty much a burrow speed. Course, it requires a full-round action to get into it. Say, does the round in which the full-round action was taken count against the duration of the ability? If so, it'd require at least 14 wisdom to even get a single round of etherealness at level 1. Might have been a decent mitigating factor, but then you encounter that, at level two, you suddenly have 3 rounds of burrow speed, free. Maybe make the duration more restricted, and that'd get a Thumbs up.

Ah, Entropic Cloak. A scaling miss chance for when you stop the ethereal burrowing. Awesome. Thumbs up.

Sudden Strike. It's easy to see that this barbarian is focused on moving around everywhere. Well, so far so good. Thumbs up.

Ghost-Road is odd. There are several questions in it that just hang there, unanswered. Of course, the questions that deal with it, are usually actually the questions that players and DMs have to figure out about the Ethereal Plane anyways, so, no error on your part. Thumbs up.


Monkey Totem
Ah, companion to the Ape.

Climb speed that upgrades later on. Thumbs up.

Master of Body skill bonii. Nothing wrong there. Course, the bonus to Climb checks doesn't matter since they have a Climb speed. This gets the standard Thumbs up.

Make it Look Easy is interesting. Balance across a hair-thin bridge, Tumble through a hall of Iron Golems, then Jump the chasm of eternal falling. So awesome. Monkey totem will get an all-around Thumbs up.

Also:
Inevitables: Make them be a sub-set of constructs, that has it's own, internal sub-set, so it'd be like 'Construct totem' - 'Inevitable totem' - 'Marut totem'. Each of the Inevitables are so cool and unique, after all.
Ideas: Make new elemental totems, including Para-Elemental totems (Magma totem (Earth-Fire), Smoke totem (Fire-Air), Ice totem (Water-Air), and Mud totem (Earth-Water)). Also there could be toad, pidgeon, gecko, hummingbird, jellyfish, pirana, mastadon, saber-tooth tiger, and Pterodactyl.

Succubus Totem
Valid point, totally slipped my mind.


Chain Devil Totem
Alright, done.


Fungus Totem
Indeed I did.


Swarm Totem
Maybe a recharge counter and they can only be called out while in rage? I don't want them to be just spamming out micro-swarms between encounters.

And what about the other ability? the concealment/swarm AoO/difficult terrain one?


Beholder Totem
There's actually a specific mention of that, I'm not sure how you missed it.

Good point on firey destruction. How about just 5 damage instead? Sounds better in my head.

I'm not usre the bex penalty is cumulative. I based it off hellrime blast. If it is, I need to lower the scaling, I think.

I think I have plenty of eye rays, nobody would miss stunning too much. It would likely take too much work to fix.

I hear your concerns about cha-basing the abilities. Perhaps I should make the rage different, to better support the eye beamzorz as the focus of the class?


Ethereal Totem
How much more restricted?

I was considering actually throwing a caveat on the ghost-road, making the allies brought with him use up his ethereal-time per day.


Monkey Totem
Good point on climb, that shall be fixed.

I was worried that 1/round while in frenzy was too much.

Good point on inevitables.

Para-Elementals:Awesome, should totally have thought of that.
Toad: Still not sure what to do with this. The only awesome toad I can think of are those poison-dart frogs, but we've already got a good bunch of poison-users. Maybe something based off the kuo-toa, though...
Pidgeon: Another bunny? Really, I got nothing.
Gecko: Would probably be VERY similar to panther, though replace pounce with something else.
Hummingbird: Could see it, but having trouble thinking what to do with it. whirling frenzy, maybe some kind of piercing weapon specialty, fast reflexes/initiative?
Jellyfish: Swimming poison totem. Haven't done that yet...
Piranha: As a singular totem, it would likely end up much like the shark, as a submerged swarm totem... maybe? Not sure, though.
Mastodon and saber-tooth: Both of those could easily be covered under elephant and lion, respectively.
Pterodactyl: Hmm... I don't want an emulation with this one, it would end up too similar to eagle. Maybe a horse totem knock off, but with a pterodactyl as the mount, gained at 5th?

Ethereal totem fix:
"Due to the confusing nature of the ethereal plane, the ethereal totem barbarian cannot re-enter the material plane from any location that was not within line of site of his entry point."
^This solves every problem I have and balances the ability IMO.


So, did you read my previous comments on Ethereal totem? I don’t know if you were just ignoring me or not.

I will say, however, that burrow =/= ghost road. You need the earth subtype to even burrow through solid stone. Burrow is strong, but it can’t avoid nearly as many things as ghost road. I still don’t think Bulette totem should be able to create entire tunnels while burrowing anyway.

Enjoy (http://dungeons.wikia.com/wiki/Dreg_Knight_(3.5e_Class))


Swarm Totem
Good point on pulling them out inbetween encounters. Sure, only during rage and with a 1d4 rounds to recharge itself, that'd be plenty of restrictions.

Allowing the Swarm to grant concealment, take AoOs, and make it's space difficult terrain would be acceptable, if you added a the distraction ability on top of the difficult terrian ability.


Beholder Totem
Oh, Thumbs up.

5 damage would likely be enough. Kind of like 'Collision' versus 'Flaming', in that sense, if you do it that way, actually.

Not familiar with hellrime blast. Making it be cumulative would be acceptable, though, seeing as you'd be spending one round after another to use the same effect. After 7 rounds of using the same ability over and over again, they had better be at least unable to move.

Oh, too bad. Good choice, though. Bye-Bye Stunning Glare *waves*.

It'd be acceptable to shift the rage offensive ability to make the lazor rays be more powerful, yes. That might bring the entire thing more securely together across the board.


Ethereal Totem
Perhaps only (wis mod) rounds per day, and they gain another (wis mod) extra rounds at 3rd level, and every 3 levels after. That way, it would go, with 14 wisdom, (level 1 - 2 rounds), (level 3 - 4 rounds), (level 6 - 6 rounds), (level 9 - 8 rounds), (level 12 - 10 rounds), etc, and it wouldn't tread on the Bulette totem and the Wurm totem too much.

Well, with that caveat on Ghost-road, you'd really eat through the rounds of etherealness per day that the character has. Might lead to difficult situations.


Monkey Totem
Nah, they are just skill checks. If it were allowing the character to take 10 on attack rolls, that might be a little different, of course.

Toad: Well, if modelling it after an actually toad, some way to increase reach (shooting the tongue out a long distance/extending the arm out a long distance), being at home in an aquatic enviroment, the ability to unleash a very loud croak, jump ability, climb speed, and stuff like that.
Pidgeon: Actually, it's weird, but the Pidgeon is actually very good at surviving. The only reason they seem so docile is that, in their enviroment (cities), they have gotten used to being around humans. Might be similar to the rat. But yes, bunny.
Gecko: Maybe Iguana? Color-changing ability, 360 degree vision, tongue that freaking is designed to murderate.
Hummingbird: You have this one under control already.
Jellyfish: Swimming poison totem would be awesome.
Piranha: Dozens of attacks. Might be more akin to a hybrid of Hydra and Shark, tbh.
Pterodactyl: A flying horse totem would be awesome, but don't make the focus be purely on the fact that you're mounted, throw in some more spice, or varied abilities.

Swarm Totem
Hmm... Only in rage AND a 1d4 recharge might be a little much. I just ended up giving it to them as a standard action 1/rage +1/3 levels above 7th.

Gotcha. How's it looking now?


Beholder Totem
Yeah, I kicked the scaling down a notch.

Maybe if the daze was 1 round, period?

Alright, what would you recommend in regards to that? Probably a cha/dex boost, but it feels passe like that.


Ethereal Totem
Hmm. This one is causing a lot of trouble. Oh! Maybe instead of rounds/day, he can only spend (wis mod) rounds in the etheral plane consecutively, then must wait like, 10-wis mod rounds before being able to go ethereal again?

Toad: Hmmm. Might work. Perhaps something based in lunging strike? I'm hesitant on this one because really I don't know if I'm going bullfrog, poison dart frog, toad, 'toad style', kuo-toa, or what.
Gecko: Perhaps emulating that tail with a nasty serpent-totem whip.
Jellyfish: So, poison, swim, and something for 2nd or 3rd, depending on where I put the poison.
Piranha: I could see that, certainly.
Pterodactyl: Not just mounted, mounted on a DINOSAUR. Different. XP

Swarm Totem
Looks like a decent battlefield controller across the board. The class will get a solid Thumbs up. Like the expanded template, btw.


Beholder Totem
Freezing Beam seems a lot better this way, and might actually prove equally useful in the higher levels as early levels. Thumbs up.

Stunning Glare might be okay with it being this way. Might need to be careful with it, of course. Thumbs up.

Perhaps a +4 con boost, a +2 cha boost, and while in their rage, their eye beams become capable of scoring critical hits (threat range 19-20/x3)?


Ethereal Totem
That would actually hurt the totems with burrow speeds even more. The deal is that this guys 'omni-burrow' needs to be restricted to only 1 or 2 rounds early on, so that he isn't using it constantly.


Ice Totem
Pressed for time, will get this one later.


Magma Totem
Pressed for time, will get this one later.

Elementals: For the para-elementals, what you want to keep in mind is that they are a mix of two different elements, and therefore represent both, at the same time. Ice is cool, light, and expansive, like air, and fluid, cool, and wet, like water. Magma is hard, heavy, and unstoppable, like stone, and firey, hot, and chaotic, like fire. If you'd be doing 'opposed' para-elementals, like 'fire-water', you'd want to find something that could be argued to be a form of both. Fire-Water, for example, would be scalding, chaotic, fluid, and wet. Napalm, acid, or plasma (lightning) would all suit this well. Earth-Air might be sand or dust.

Admiral Squish
2010-06-25, 01:38 PM
Beholder Totem
Well, ranged touch attacks are capable of scoring criticals by nature (rules for it in CArc). I could see expanding the critical range while in rage, though, that sounds pretty good.


Ethereal Totem
Aye. This totem is turning out to be a lot of trouble...


Ice Totem
I'll wait.


Magma Totem
I'll wait.

I don't agree on your asessment of ice. Honestly, ice has more properties of earth-water than air-water. But then, I'm not sure what air-water should be, then. Clouds are already taken by smoke totem, though a cloud totem would certainly be less... aggressively unpleasant. Sand sounds cooler than dust, let's go with that. As for water-fire, I'm not sure at all. Steam is too airy, and lighting is definitely attached to air, too. Acid's supposed to be earth-associated, and napalm hasn't been invented yet.

So, if you hadn't noticed, there's also a smoke totem now.

Also, unrelated, but I'm desperately in need of help on another homebrew, based on stranger's wrath. If any of you awesome reviewers wouldn't mind popping over and giving it a look, that'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=157495)

Ethereal

RP-wise, line of sight fits the explanation. Line-of-effect would still solve the problem, but I’m not sure how to justify it.

I disagree with Rithaniel as to what the ‘deal’ is. The main problem is noncombat, You can’t attack while in the ethereal plane, even with a ghost touch weapon, and the limited uses combined with line-of-sight stop it from being the ultimate defense. Less uses per day will not solve the noncombat issues. Burrow still has advantages over the omni-burrow if line-of-sight is the restriction. Even non-tunnel burrow.


Angel

Evil’s Foe: The AC boost is fine, but +1 to saves every 2 levels is rather excessive for a totem that gets a number of strong abilities. I think

“An angel totem barbarian is steadfast in his opposition to the forces of good. He gains a +1 deflection bonus to AC against the attacks made by evil creatures. He also gains a +1 bonus to saves against evil creatures and effects created by them. The bonus to ac increases by 1 at every odd numbered level after 1st, and the bonus to saves increases by 1 for every 5 levels past 1st. In addition, he cannot be touched by summoned creatures as though he were under the effects of protection from evil, using his angel totem barbarian level in place of caster level for overcoming spell resistance.”

Would be a better idea. Light’s foe from the Pit Fiend totem should likewise be changed.

-------------

The multi-round stun based on strength usable 1/round is also extreme. It’s already very strong at level 3 and past that it becomes a save-or-die based on the easiest stat to buff. Perhaps it could be a single round stun that can be used 1/encounter per 3 levels. Basing it off of strength still makes it worthwhile. You could also change “stunned” to “dazed” so that it works on undead, although stunned would be fine. I think the strength-based save is fine.

Smoke

Black Cloud: What if you are larger than medium? I suggest that the cloud fill the barbarian’s space but otherwise has a 5ft radius. Otherwise large smoke totem barbarians are screwed.

Smoke armor: So, at level 10 it is better for your opponents to be blind than to be able to see the cloud (55% miss chance). How do you explain that? I think the ability is fine power level wise if cloud's effect order is changed.

Cloud Effects: The abilities might be okay, but NOT in that order. My suggestion:
3rd: 1/day for ever three levels she has in barbarian, the smoke totem barbarian may stir her cloud into a terrible firestorm with a standard action. Any creature inside the cloud when she uses this ability takes 1d6 fire damage for each level of barbarian she has.
6th: The cloud's smoke is stinging and irritating to the skin, lungs and eyes. Any creature entering or starting their turn in the cloud takes a -2 penalty to attack and damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, ability checks, and armor class. This penalty increases by 1 every three levels thereafter. The barbarian herself is not effected by this ability. < You should add this.
9th: A smoke totem barbarian's cloud becomes a roiling mass, the churning air protecting those behind or within it. Treat the outer borders of the personal cloud as a wind wall effect.
12th: The smoke totem's cloud lifts her. The smoke totem barbarian gains a fly speed equal to her base land speed with perfect maneuverability while inside her personal cloud.
15th: The cloud becomes thicker, nearly solid, actively opposing anyone trying to move through it. Entering any square occupied by the personal cloud costs twice as much movement to move through, and a creature cannot take 5-foot steps into or through the cloud. The smoke totem barbarian is not affected by this thickness. In addition, ranged attacks into or through the cloud become completely impossible.
18th: A smoke totem barbarian can turn her personal cloud into a massive bank of widespread destruction. 1/day for every three levels of barbarian she has, she can expand her personal cloud, giving it a radius of 5 ft x her barbarian level for a number of rounds equal to her constitution modifier by taking a standard action.

^ The fire damage ability is cool, but it is the weakest and gets worse at higher levels. On the other hand, it is a fine ability to have at level 3. The save penalty is a nifty combat trick at any level, and it gives more reasons to not use smoke armor all of the time. There is an issue when both the smoke armor ability and the first two cloud effects all buff keeping the cloud on yourself. Also, wind wall is roughly arrow immunity and is… well, wind wall is not a very balanced second level spell and having it at will is even stronger even if it is only for yourself.
Also, why grant flying at the same time you grant smokeform? That steals some of its thunder, don’t you think?

Pseudonatural (Far-realms) Totem:

{table=head]Level|BAB|Fort|Ref|Will|Special
1|+1|+2|+0|+0| Channel the Insane 1/day, Pseudonatural form, Wisdom of insanity
2|+2|+3|+0|+0| Tendrils
3|+3|+3|+1|+1| Tentacled grapple
5|+5|+4|+1|+1| Grasp of the Far Realms
[/table]

Channel the Insane: At first level, a pseudonatural barbarian can channel the madness and tentacle-ness of the far realms into his body. The barbarian's flesh contorts as the non-euclidean geometry of the Far Realms surges into it, and it grows protrusions and enhanced muscle. While in this state, the pseudonatural barbarian gains +4 strength, and 2 tentacle attacks that deal 1d4 damage each (assuming medium size) that the pseudonatural barbarian can use as natural weapons as part of a full attack action, and the tentacles have a 10-foot reach. The totem barbarian gets a +2 circumstance bonus on grapple checks, and the tentacle attacks may be used to attack while in a grapple. However, the mass of extra flesh leaves it easy for enemies to hit him, giving him -4 AC. While in this form, he automatically activates his pseudonatural form. However, being in this form damages his sanity. Every round in this form, the barbarian takes 1 point of wisdom damage. This damaged cannot be healed for a number of minutes equal to 3+ his constitution modifier. If the character would have below 3 wisdom as a result of this skill, he acts as if confused until a number of rounds equal to 3+ constitution modifier have passed after he has left his assumed form, at which point he gains wisdom 3 back. This ability lasts for 3+ con. modifier rounds. When he gets Greater rage and Mighty rage, Strength gets an extra +4 boost, he gets an extra 2 tentacles, an extra +2 bonus on grapple checks, and they give him an another -2 penalty to armor class.

Pseudonatural form: At first level, at will as a free action, assume a pseudonatural form. In this form, all opponents have a -1 on their attack rolls to hit him.

Wisdom of insanity: A pseudonatural barbarian applies all negative modifiers to wisdom to their attack rolls. (e.g., if the character had a wisdom modifier of -3, then they get a -3 penalty to attack rolls, but if they had a wisdom modifier of +1, then they gain no penalty or benefit on attack rolls). However, while they use their Channel the insanity class feature, they instead add the negative modifier as a positive modifier (if they had a wisdom modifier of -3, then they get a +3 bonus on all attack rolls). The character regains their wisdom at a faster rate than other characters do; every 3+ con. modifier minutes, they heal a point of wisdom damage if they succeed on a will save. The character cannot heal wisdom damage any other way.

Tendrils: A pseudonatural barbarian gains the power to hold victims steady while being grappled. When in a grapple, the pseudonatural barbarian gains a +2 bonus on attempts to pin opponents. This ability only functions when the barbarian is in pseudonatural form. This ability stacks with that of the tentacled form

Tentacled grapple: A pseudonatural barbarian gains an enormous amount of skill (and tentacles) while grappling, allowing him to grapple as if he was one size category bigger than he is. This ability allows him to grapple as if he was an extra size category larger for every 6 levels he gains.

Grasp of the Far Realms: A pseudonatural barbarian, once per use of their Channel the insanity power, use this ability. If they pin someone in combat, they may implant the sheer insanity of the far realms. This opponent can no longer damage the pseudonatural barbarian. The pseudonatural barbarian may also take 2 points of wisdom damage to use a suggestion on the creature (no save, the subject does not have to actually hear you to obey your commands). The creature takes 2 points of wisdom damage each day automatically, and after it's wisdom becomes 0, that creature gains the zombie template and obeys your demands, animated and obedient to those in the far realms.



So, what do you think?

I could see that, Though that wouldn't stop people from probing ahead through the plane and coming back to a LoS area.

I do agree with that assessment on the 'issue', however. It would be a nigh-failsafe escape mechanism, but then, you're not contributing if you're bolting whenever combat gets rough.

Angel
For evil's foe, it's based more or less directly out of protection from evil. It may scale a LITTLE fast, but +1/5 levels? That's a little extreme. In all the protection spells of that sort, the bonus to saves is equal to the AC gained. If anything needs to scale down, the whole thing needs to scale down, and a +5 to AC at 20 is laughable. If I make the saves bonus a resistance bonus, it doesn't stack with a cloak of resistance at least, which might help, but I think +1/2 levels in a typed bonus isn't going to destroy it.

I don't know if strength is the easiest to buff, they all seem pretty simple to me. I'll admit, looking at it, it is pretty powerful. I'm trying to work off angels here, though, so you can see the problem of scaling down a massively powerful ability for player use. I could make it once per rage, perhaps, with an additional use/rage available/three levels... But then there would have to be other changes, because stun for one round, requiring a successful attack roll and a failed save is hardly worth the effort using it at that kind of frequency. I could see a few rounds of dazed, just because of that nasty line about dropping your weapon when stunned.

smoke:
I was picturing 5-foot radius centered on you as a fifteen-foot sphere of roiling black smoke. Yes, however, larger races could use some help. I think that being large or larger would really necessitate a lot of changes in the class, though, and I'm not sure if I'm willing to do all that legwork for a sometimes situation.

Cloud effects, I could see changing the order of them, I was really just pulling cloud-like effects out of relatively similarly-leveled spells. As for your suggested order, I like it, but I think fly is pushed too far back, maybe swap it with wind wall. It's a 4th level spell, so a wizard would be getting it at 7th level, compared to 12th for the barbarian as you have it, plus it has that restriction about being within the cloud to fly.

As for fly-> smoke form, smoke form is for subtlety, when walking around in a twenty-foot orb of smoke would be noticeable. Plus, smoke form has loads of other advantages, like flying through cracks, DR... Plus, smokeform can't attack, while a flying smoke totem very much can.

Interesting. I do like an insanity-themed class, but a lot of these features seem unnecessarily convoluted. May I take a crack at it?

If there is an issue with the etherealness out of combat, then it's beautifully solved by merely having it have a very restricted number of rounds a day, as the barbarian will not be able to get very far if he can only spend 2 rounds in the ethereal plane, and even then, leaving the rest of the party behind would be foolish.


Ice Totem
Ah, an ice directed Burning Fury. Neat-o. Ice damage is more difficult to resist than fire damage, of course, so, it's a bit stronger. Of course, the Fire totem winds up with +5d6, this at +3d6, so, Thumbs up.

Cracking the Ice is weak. Common items have 15-20 hardness, and, even at level 20, those items will still have 5-10 hardness. Perhaps it would be better to just split the hardness of the object in half.

Frostheart. Okay, a little overboard on the ice damage. So far, this barbarian will be doing more damage than any of the other energy barbarians, and it's ice, which is kind of difficult to resist. Might want to scale that back slightly.

Skin of Ice is good. Cold Resistance and nat armor. Thumbs up.

Avalanche Rush is awesome. Freedom of movement after base land speed of movement. Take a full round move, and, as long as there is enough distance that isn't difficult terrian, just sprint through the enemies black tentacles spell. Not to mention the boost to attack and damage at the end of a charge. Thumbs up.


Magma Totem
Ah, the Fire Burning Fury. Thumbs up, by itself.

Smoldering Press is cool. Really high damage constrict. Might be comparable to the bear totem in that sense, of course. Powerful, but Thumbs up.

Obsidian Skin. Fire Resistance and nat. armor. Thumbs up.

Wake the Sleeping Fires is interesting. It allows for some minor battlefield control, but, the damage is so small that it might not ever even matter, and the fact that it's only a single 5 foot square makes it nearly impossible to ensure that the opponent will step on it. Needs a bit more kick to be a good capstone, really.


Smoke Totem
Black Cloud is awesome. An Obscuring Mist that is mobile and that inflicts damage. Low-power battlefield control will love this. Thumbs up to the ability. Might could use a little explaination on it, of course. Would it just be a 15 diameter cloud? Could perhaps scale in size very slowly.

Ah, so, at ecl 20, if this guy can ensure total concealment from a foe, then, they have a solid 100% miss chance. Now that's a defense. Granted, ensuring that total concealment will be difficult, but, that's an awesome defense. Thumbs up.

The Cloud effects are interesting. First, there's a wall to block out a short lsit of things that you don't want. Neat. Thumbs up. Second there is the flight speed. Now, that's awesome. Thumbs up. Third, there is a debuff to others who enter it. Can see this being a halfway decent controller. Thumbs up. Fourth there is movement restrictions in the cloud. Now, that's a clever little ability, and that cloud is really starting to turn into an annoying little force on the battlefield. Thumbs up. Fifth, it becomes huge, filling up almost the entire battlefield, and making the minor battlefield control turn into widespread battlefield control with you flying around everywhere in it. Thumbs up. Sixth, fire damage explosions. A little late to get this (fireball), but, it's huge, with the fifth ability. The entire battlefield takes 18d6 fire damage. Seems acceptacle. Thumbs up.

Smokeform is an awesome capstone. Gaseous Form is a very useful spell, after all. Thumbs up to the entire Smoke totem, did a good job.


Sand Totem
Hmmm, Walking storm has the highest damage yet (7d4 without a save against anything adjacent to him), and grants a bonus to constitution, and charisma. Interesting. Seems fine as an ability on it's own. Thumbs up.

Ah, that's where the cha boost was heading. So, this guy gets a ranged cha-based attack that will deal 7d4+cha damage, eventually. Cool. Nothing wrong there. Thumbs up.

Okay, yikes to Armor of Sand. Get a massive bonus to AC, but, in exchange, after the first attack in a round, it vanishes. Honestly, if a guy isn't dealing at least (your ecl) damage with each attack, he's fragile, and needs to look into optimization more. So, this essentially boils down to negation of a single attack. Odd. There is not really a problem in it that is blaringly obvious... so... Thumbs up.

Master of Sand is cool. Adding a bit of versatility to the ranged guy. Nothing bad can be said about that ability. Thumbs up.

Air Walk is a flight speed by another name. Would like to get this unlimitedly, like with any flight speed, but, it's a good capstone, none-the-less. Thumbs up to the Sand totem, as a whole.


DMoD Far Realms Totem
Channel the Insane is very interesting, to say the least, but... those penalties hurt eyes. So many penalties, never take, never take. Can get 6 tentacles without penalty from feats. Why oh why would take so much penalty for two tentacles. Make be less penalty, maybe save idea, maybe save.

Pesudonatural Form is coo'. Thumbs up.

Wisdom of Insanity is interesting, but, requires dangerous things, and weird. Good job making weird. You made very weird.

Tendrils, a bonus to grapple, but no Impr. Grapple feat.

More grapple, but you still provoke an AoO to attempt it. Might be higher than bear or Elephant in regards to grapple, but, still can't do it.

Grasp of the Far Realms is interesting. Slow ability, of course. Like the idea behind the class, just, went way off canter with it.

Don't know stranger's wrath, but will attempt to get to that. Sorry wasn't around yesterday, party.

Sand Totem

I would replace ALL 1d4s with 1d6s. The damage idoesn’t need to be that low.

Sand Armor : I as a DM do not want to have to roll damage every time I miss, particularly when most attacks will bring the armor below 0 anyway. Why can’t the sand just let you make an opposed attack roll as an immediate action in order to block an attack? Less bookkeeping.

Scouring Strikes Besides being 1d6, it should be a ranged attack roll that uses charisma instead of dexterity, not strength

Master of sand is awesome. I really like the ability.

Sand Walk: I would increase the limit to 2 rounds per level.

Angel

On the stunning, what effort are we talking about? You attack normally and tack on a “this is stunning hit btw” during the role? One extra dice gets rolled by the DM. Without going template crazy, a raging orc barbarian has a strength of 26, for a save DC of 20 at level 4. That’s without trying. If you tried to raise your strength you could have a strength 30+ while raging (many different ways, pick what you like). I prefer once per encounter to once per rage, personally. Something to do when you run out of rage. Dazed has the advantage of working on just about everything – although you could make them dazed and stunned if you want them to drop their weapons too.

A 10th level angel totem orc barbarian with a +4 strength item and 2 points in str (rage Str 32) against the average evil opponent:
+5 AC
Saves before stats/items/spells of 12/8/8
Attack rolls of +15/+10 before stats and items (or +17/+12)
+5 or +7 damage to every hit
Opponent needs to make a DC 26 fort save every round or be stunned for 3 rounds.
Aura of righteous fury has a save of 15 +/- cha, probably not very high but anyone who rolls low takes a -5 penalty to attacks, AC, and saves. You could still have a positive cha or have a cloak, so maybe DC 16-17. If this guy was more optimized the DC could be reasonable.

Y’know, maybe it is okay. 3 rounds is still a save-or-be-doomed at most levels though. 1 round is still awesome. Maybe 1/round per 3 levels instead of the increased duration? Whoever you attack is still doomed, but you can’t screw an enemy and then walk away while everyone else mops up. At least, not as often.

Os another note, you weapon restriction should be a “weapon wielded with two hands”. That way longsword weilders and such can use the ability.

Also, you shouldn’t feel the need to scale things down. Work from the ground up using the totem entity as an inspiration. That’s what the actual tribe would be doing, and it would feel more organic and have less chance of being randomly overpowered.

Smoke

Large size barbarians are really common. But now that I think of it, a 5ft radius would have a 10ft diameter so that is covered after all.

Smoke effects: Yeah, I thought about switching fly and windwall. Although overland flight is a 6th level spell, which I think is a better comparison for an at-will flight effect.
Edit: On the otherhand, warlocks get flight much earlier. It is one of their stronger abilities though.

So, what about my smoke armor question?

Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but that looks ugly to me*. Super restricted rounds still allow non-combat shenanigans (btw, 2 rounds is still ~240ft) while making it worse in combat. Non-combat is solved by a restriction that specifically applies to non-combat use. If you think combat use is also too strong, limit how often you can use it in addition to the line-of-sight/effect restriction and call it a day. If you don’t respond to the issue directly you create overpowered abilities that are only balanced by being useless the rest of the time. Which isn't a very fun sort of balance in my experience.

You are confusing. You claim that the one path is bad because it will make it useful in only a single situation, but, your idea is to make it useless in all but one situation? Seems contradictory, and the one path is actually to keep it available in multiple instances. Restricting the rounds per day would allow the barbarian to only get 240 feet, yes. If that is a noticable distance in a dungeon or whatever, then that place is small. Still, 240 feet is good for scouting. Allowing this ability to actually have a use other that 'Hey, you don't get AoOed for moving around'.

Hmmm... correction, the issue with your path is that is makes it useless unless it is being abused. 2 rounds in combat per day isn't... no, it wouldn't even be used in combat. The non-combat use is so much better, why waste it unless you have to? Mine makes it useless in the situation where it is most easily abused, while staying useful where it isn't easily abused. Edit: However, my version still has out-of-combat use! Have you ever used the shadow hand teleports? I take those for non-combat reasons, and they are line-of-sight.

You could remove the limits per day and just make it X rounds per encounter if you did the LoS restriction in my opinion. That would be better, and the ability would be more versitile than the x per day while being far less abusable. How about that?

As AS noted, you can still scout. The limitation on the line-of-sight/effect restriction only restricts where you can return. Granted, what happens if you run out of duration in a distant area? Are you shunted back to your entry point?

Admiral Squish
2010-06-26, 02:40 PM
Okay, this is incorporating BOTH your commentaries, so...


Beholder Totem
Alright, fixed it, hopefully.


Ethereal Totem
Alright, I've lowered the rounds/day to 1/2 barb level(round up)x wis mod. I also put a caveat that requires you to enter/exit within a line of sight to your current position, and one about creatures being flat-footed against you for one round after your emergence from the ethereal plane. HOPEFULLY, this is good enough to please both of you.

I also figured out to make ghost-road work. You make both portals at once, and they only last wis rounds.


Ice Totem
Actually, I edited the flame, and magma totem rages. They end up at 7d6, and salamander ends up equal.

Halfed hardness would definitely work.

I like avalanche rush. Should I rename the earth-totem ability, though? research shows avalanche is specifically snow-slides.


Magma Totem
As for magma press, the difference is you can make grapple checks for every attack you could make, but magma press is specifically 1/round.

I was considering something about fold damage increases the AC for a few rounds, to simulate cooling the exterior of magma into a stony shell.

What would you reccomend for a kick? I really like the idea of lava spouts. He DOES get to make extra squares as he goes up in level.


Smoke Totem
Well, you can enlarge it later, and I was considering scaling it but I was concerned that it would get too powerful with the cloud effects. Maybe just diameter = your normal threatened area?

Problem arises that anyone without a special ability to notice them through the smoke gets a massive penalty, but anyone with a special ability takes none. Plus, a smoke totem really has no reason to be outside his cloud of his own volition, ever.

I'm gonna shuffle those abilities around, because I really am concerned about the balance.


Sand Totem
Reflex half added to walking storm.

I wasn't so sure because it was an attack action, so it will be being used multiple times in a round.

Not quite what I was intending, though. Perhaps I could go with that opposed attack roll mentioned by magikeeper, say, once/round/two levels? That would fit, certainly, but I'm worried about the attack.

Maybe unlimited/day, but keep the consecutive round limit?


Angel Totem
Okay, one round of daze, 1/round/three levels. Problem is that you don't have that many attacks...

As for the two-handed, I think two-handed stays. They're the only weapons properly weighted, I think.

The only time when a wall being in your way is a problem, is when you are pressed for time. That issue is really removed by this ability, that's the problem. The way you fix that, of course, is by making them still be pressed for time. Not 'don't allow them to get past the wall', cause, by not letting them even get through the wall at all, you remove practically every potential usage of the ability, except for the ones that involve combat (ie 'you don't provoke AoOs for moving'). Also, by making it be rounds out of an encounter, you force it to only be able to be used in combat. Not to mention, with your version, the guy can't even manage to get around a corner. With the other path, the guy can scout through a closed door to see if the rest of the party should enter or not, and still have uses in a combat situation. Being able to bypass a wall of blades, difficult terrian, and the Trip built Half-Ogre with a Spiked Chain is actually a useful ability, why would you save it for getting past a wall if you're faced with a combat that it is validly useful in? Making it be only line of sight ruins the entire thing to it's most basic level, almost completely.

Rithaniel
2010-06-26, 03:13 PM
Beholder Totem
Looks awesome. Thumbs up.


Ethereal Totem
Well, if you never want the Ethereal totem to do anything outside of combat, that's good. Seems like a waste, of course. Still seems a few too many rounds.


Ice Totem
So, Salamander shot way above everything else? You've openned up a can of worms, it seems. Numbers get a little too high at that level, you really need to scale those back to the way they were.

Sure, re-naming the Earth ability would be acceptable. 'Mountains Weight' or something.


Magma Totem
Yeah good point there. The ability is strong, all the same, so, it's good.

Fold damage?

Make the damage be 6d6, and make it be up to three squares at first, and then an extra square every few levels there-after. That'd make it more valid, while keeping it being trap-like.


Smoke Totem
Diameter equaling your normal threatened area would be a beautiful stroke. Bravo.

It's the obscuring mist spell. Sweating over that is foolish.

You don't need to be worried, really. The guy isn't exactly optimized at that pace, and the order doesn't hurt... anthing, to be completely truthful. It would suck if some of those abilities were seen at level 3, of course, like the mass-enlargement one.


Sand Totem
Now walking storm is pretty weak. It was good being 7d4, cause it didn't allow a save. It was like a magic missile. lost a Thumbs up with that addition.

It's d4's, you don't have to worry about it, it'll be level 6 before the guy is even doing comparable damage to the 1st level guy with the greatsword, and this attack can't be enchanted.

Opposed attack rolls are always icky. They can be so clunky and unwieldy, that the ability would be ignored. Not that it's unworkable, of course. Another idea would be to allow any armor bonus they have to also apply to their touch AC.

That idea sounds awesome.


Angel Totem
The stunning was really the only part that made the Angel totem so cool. If you're changing it, then eh. Makes it less. The guy likely wouldn't be able to stun multiple people anyways.

Except he still can scout ahead, he just steps through, steps back. But then, he's not going to be doing that much without the rest of the party, either, and line of sight means anything you can see, so peer through the keyhole and you've got an in.


Ice Totem
Gaaaaah. Fine, the whole paradigm will go back down.


Magma Totem
Sorry, cold damage.

Where's the 6d6 and three squares come from? I need to know so I know how to scale it. What about 1d6/level, and 1 square/2-3 levels?


Smoke Totem
Alright, that's done.

Well, immune to almost all ranged attacks at 3rd strikes me as worrisome.


Sand Totem
Fine, removed the reflex save.

Aha! I got it! Can gain a cover bonus to AC equal to half class level or class level, applicable against one attack/round for every two levels.

Done.


Angel Totem
Gah! how about... 1/rage/three levels, going back to the multi-round stun?

Rithaniel
2010-06-26, 04:27 PM
Ethereal Totem
Still can't get around a freaking corner, and it still removes pretty much every single usage of the ability. What if there wasn't a keyhole? Neutering the players options is the job of a bad DM.


Ice Totem
That's good. It'd be a little bad if it had stayed that way.


Magma Totem
Oh, that'd be awesome. Maybe build that into the Obsidian skin ability. If they take cold damage, the natural armor bonus doubles. Make it stop at once doubled, though, otherwise that's a mathematical nightmare.

Was judging it off of the Fireball spell. At level 5, that'd be a 5d6 fireball over an enormous radius. This is a much smaller area (-2), that also causes difficult terrian (+1), so, would likely need to deal a bit more (6d6 instead of 5d6) damage (to get another +1, making it be a fancy fireball). If you'd rather have it scale, go for 1d6 fire damage per barb level, and then 1 square for every odd barb level you have (so, when you would gain the class feature, that'd be 3 squares, 4 at ecl 7, etc.).


Smoke Totem
It's not immunity, it's a miss chance. Miss chances, as have already been stated, don't stack. you're already getting more of a miss chance from the base cloud than that ability allows, anyways.


Sand Totem
One attack/round might be a bit much, but, yes, that would indeed work. Make sure to specify when they have to declare that they are using the ability (after the attack has been declared, but before the thing has been rolled, usually).


Angel Totem
That'd work.

Right, so, I'm just going to do what I think would work, and you all can deal. you brought this on yourselves. >:P


Magma Totem
That was generally the idea.

Right, that works.


Smoke Totem
Actually, wind wall is immunity to arrows or crossbows, it's a miss chance on other things, like throwing weapons or slingstones. Though, how often do you find throwing weapons in any really effective ranged build?


Sand Totem
I think it'd be fine to be more than 1/round, especially because it's not a guaranteed stopper.

As for far realms, I was thinking a more impressive version of pseudonatural form, first. I don't know if I'll go so far as tentacles, but there will be agood bit of self-mutation. Maybe a capstone based off the chaos beast's corporeal instability.

Smoke Totem
Level 12, really? The 'increase the size' one is now so far back in the class that it's almost too late to matter. It was late before, even.

Perhaps a more pleasing order might be:
3rd -- 1d6 Damage
6th -- Flight Speed (at the same level most of the totems get their flight)
9th -- Wind wall
12th -- Expansion
15th -- Pseudo-shaken when in the cloud (stronger debuff than you think)
18th -- Prevent movement


Sand Totem
You have a point on the bulette totem and all that, but, granting full level on multiple attacks would be about the same as just giving them their level to their AC. Perhaps 2+(1/2 barb level), so that it's better than the Bulette, yet still reasonable.

Oh, you touch mah Tra la la? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Cdb36-Hh6Y&feature=fvsr) This Far Realms totem is getting a lot of hype, now.

Admiral Squish

Well, at 5th, the smoke totem gets smoke form, so it's not like they're bereft of flight. But, the new order seems fine to me.



Sand Totem
Eh, I'll just make it half level. It applies to touch AC too, so it's already a little more powerful.

It certainly seems to be getting plenty of press...

Far Realms! Give them tentacles as a potential mutation! Do it! *cue screaming fangirls*

Smoke Totem

Edit: Wow was I ninja-d. I spent over an hour on this post.
I’ll give Rith the moving of expansion down, but I dislike his order otherwise. Psuedo-shaken is strong, but it is also interesting in combat and truly promotes not keeping the cloud on you at all times which his order doesn’t prevent. The cloud needs to have a real reason to not be on you 24/7, and the pseudo-shaken is strong enough to do that. I like making choices in combat. Choices that matter and are not extremely obvious.

So I suggest:
3rd -- 1d6 Damage
6th -- Pseudo-shaken when in the cloud
9th -- Flight Speed
12th -- Expansion
15th -- Wind wall
18th -- Prevent movement

Okay? There is not some dire need to have a flight speed at level 6. Warlocks get it, yes. That doesn’t mean everyone needs to. Level 9/12 is about when it starts becoming an issue.

I should note just how strong expansion is, however: It is a mass penalty inducing-damage dealing zone of doom you can fly around in while attacking the enemy with your massive miss chance. Actually, that sounds really cool. I put it at level 18th because it is the most capstone like ability of the bunch, although the movement prevention is also very strong.

Smoke Armor should have a cap of some kind to prevent 100% miss chances. Say, a max of 80%? That’s higher than what you can normally get from 20 levels, so it wouldn’t hurt your average player.

Sand Totem

Armor of Sand You can only use one immediate action per round. So the extra uses mean nothing at the moment – you don’t have an immediate action left to use it. Also, it is not good enough to be worth the precious immediate action slot at high levels anymore, which is sad. I guess if it became a non-action in response to an attack… that might work….

Btw: What I suggested was pretty much an at-will Wall of Blades, as the warblade maneuver. Attack roll is so much better than the current ability it isn’t funny. I have played many barbarian builds and attack roll usually beats the crap out of AC. Particularly if you use the omni-present shocktrooper, but even if you aren’t. Just use the wording of the maneuver. Basically, your attack roll becomes your new AC against the attack if it is higher than your current AC. That’s easy and only involves the player making one extra roll. By level 5 your attack roll is easily +12, so a new AC between 13 and 33. At level 10 your attack roll is easily +20, so between 21 and 41. That’s more useful than your current AC +5 unless you are trying to optimize your AC. I’ve used it before, and I have not been disappointed.

Scouring Sands: It is labeled wrong in the table.

Sandwalk: So, once every X rounds you fall 60ft before continuing on. In order for that restriction to matter there needs to be a defined wait period between uses. Well, I guess it would matter in combat. Anyway, the best, IMO, would be “after which the barbarian must wait an equal number of rounds before using the ability again.” That would cover both small and large CHA scores. You could get pretty far with a high CHA, but it is still limited.


Not done talking to Rithaniel about ethereal totem (Everyone else can ignore, I guess, although AS can feel free to look). Trying to explain my position better, think I noticed something:


The only time when a wall being in your way is a problem, is when you are pressed for time. That issue is really removed by this ability, that's the problem. The way you fix that, of course, is by making them still be pressed for time. Not 'don't allow them to get past the wall', cause, by not letting them even get through the wall at all, you remove practically every potential usage of the ability, except for the ones that involve combat (ie 'you don't provoke AoOs for moving').

I see the issue. We are making different base assumptions. I am thinking about an RP-heavy city campaign with the occasional dungeon/fortress/shipping house/etc and from a world building perspective while you are thinking of a more traditional dungeon game (I think). Give players an in-game day of planning and this ability can do horrible things when they are still low levels. Things you usually don’t have to deal with until the wizards are mid (if they are trying) or high level. It bypasses not just walls, but everything that is not a force effect or abjuration magic. And you can move within walls and fly while in the ethereal plane (it has some strange traits), so simply avoiding abjuration magic could work.

You could use walk the ghostlands to move through a city, appear 5ft above a guy’s bed, and use the battle jump feat. 240ft should be enough to get into position from the outside. I hope everyone in the world is ready to handle teleporting assassins, because this level one barbarian can do it every day. Way to take one of the most annoying wizard tactics and give it to a level one non-caster. Granted it wouldn't work in as many situations as actual teleport assassinations, but again this is at very low levels. The existance of this ability would change the world, just like the existance of upper level wizards would. Ethereal protection is not something 3rd level 2-bit villains are that worried about, but if such an ability is so easy to get it becomes everyone's problem - not just people who expect to deal with mid/high wizards. But really, protection against such attackers is hard to get at low levels, what are these lesser NPCs going to do about it?

Also, here is a list of some non-combat uses of the spell that can be done WITH the line-of-sight restriction.

1. You can make a hole in the wall and move through it just fine. You just can’t move through 7 walls.
2. You can use this ability to fly short distances.
3. You can use this ability to ignore traps
4. You can use this ability, scout, then exit from the exit point. (Depends on wording)

And in-combat this does more than bypass AoOs. You can fight ethereal creatures, get out of grapples, ambush without them hearing you coming, etc.

A more general comment: One day I will list every ability that should be (Su). It is quite the list, as most non-animal totems have one or more such abilities.

Glancing at the various totems, the 5th level Succubus totem ability seems a bit overpowered. A handful of powerful SLAs at will? Wow. I'd have it grant the various SLAs over several levels, starting with charm person, then detect thoughts, then alter self, then suggestion, then charm monster. They're all nice and timeless and not game breaking, but the optimizer in me screams to make a charisma based fighter with a 5 level dip in Succubus totem barbarian, because it's just so damn juicy.
(Oh, yeah, and then throw in snowflake waterdance, and a few levels of crusader and paladin of freedom...)
Please, don't feed the optimizer.:smalleek:
Also, Touch of Desire is a bit... meh... perhaps it could be channeled through a melee attack while under moment of passion? I couldn't see someone ever actually using that over, say, a full attack.

For the chaos totem, maybe you could eventually use 2 mutations at once? Seems to fit in the general power level.

Chaos Totem

This has some problems.

Companion: So at 8th level you have a flying large-sized fleshraker with SR. This is more like a variant of the animal companion class feature than a weaker version of it. Which isn’t a bad thing, but this totem has so many strong abilities… I think this one should be kept, actually. But this totem has too much power jammed into it IMO.

I nominate corrupted madness and touch of unshaping as the nerf-stick targets as those are less interesting than the others. Also, I hate save-or-dies (personal preference).

Suggestion:
Replace corrupting madness with:

Otherworldly Mind: A Chaos totem barbarian receives a penalty equal to one-half his class level on all wisdom and intelligence based skill checks. Once per day the barbarian can turn this penalty into a bonus for a skill check as a free or immediate action. The barbarian gains an additional use per day at every even-numbered class level.

Replace the 5th level chaos beast ability with:

Shifting Soul: See the edit!


Edit: Say, allowing him to swap every stat would probably be fine...

Major Edit: Suggested ability had a very screwed up wording that allowed infinite combos. This should work:

Shifting Soul: Once per Warp Spasm the chaos totem barbarian may rearrange what he uses his ability modifiers for. For example, he could choose to use his strength modifier whenever he would normally use his wisdom modifier, and to use his wisdom modifier whenever he would use his strength modifier. This change is permanent until the barbarian uses this ability again.

Admiral Squish
2010-06-27, 12:43 PM
I could probably do a wyvern totem. Let's see... Poison, maybe skirmish? I mean, it's not got a lot of iconic abilities...

As for succubus, the desire-touch isn't supposed to be in-combat, you're supposed to use it before combat, or out of combat entirely.

As to chaos totem.
Magi: Yes, you'd have a fleshraker, but it'd be an EDL of one. Rather fragile, to be honest.

I like touch of unshaping, personally. Besides, it's not save or die. If you lose you're mind you're still alive, just a thoughtless puddle of roiling flesh. Your buddies can just drag your endlessly-warping body off to the cleric.

As for the rest of it, I'm going to wait for more opinions before I decide to change the character around that much.

Gorgon: Well, depending on how Lix's feat idea pans out, I might include double-mutations as a feat. Or, I might expand the template and grant that at 10th or thereabouts.

I just noticed that losing your mind can also be reversed. So, it is not a save-or-die. It is a save or be doomed. Granted, it allows for multiple saves and on a second look is balanced. I don't like it, but I guess other people might.

I am very much against the wisdom damaging aura though, and that is not changing. How about something that actually involves movement? Or isn't an aura that makes your enemies constantly save vs wisdom damage, which is bookkeeping that either doesn't matter or is very strong.

On companions: Well, you can get a new one every 24hrs unless the dm houserules it (even less reason to do so than with a normal AC since this fleshraker comes from crazy land). Not sure of the AC-boosting feats would work on it. I think they would, and that would give it more HD.

Smoke Totem: I still think smoke armor should max out at 80%. Same for the ethereal totem bonus. Neither will reach that level pre-epic, but in some games it would matter.

EDIT: After mentally optimizing a chaos totem barbarian, I would be satisfied if the aura was simply changed. It doesn't have to contain some kind of penalty.

Warp Spasm is interesting. An offensive boost in the form of a Str boost, an increase to all three saves, and a +1 to AC. It's good. Just slightly lower than a normal rage, but, it's good. Thumbs up.

Corruptive Madness is *high pitched scream of terror*. Confusion is pretty much a 'save or do something weird' effect. The spell 'Confusion (http://dungeons.wikia.com/wiki/SRD:Confusion)' is a 4th level spell that only has a range of a 15-foot burst. This ability gives it as a 30-foot burst at level 1. Granted, sonic and mind-affecting restrictions are helpful, and the 'save and you are immune' effect is nerfing it a bit, but those don't exactly help stop it being a swift action (in addition to your other actions in the round). This is compeltely too strong. Out of curiousity, what was it before?

There are two versions of the Pseudonatural template: One (http://dungeons.wikia.com/wiki/SRD:Pseudonatural_Creature) which is an epic template, and the other, which is from the CAd. It seems you meant the one from the CAd, but, might wanna say so, to avoid problems. As for Aberrant Aide, it looks good. Taking a closer look at the individual mutations:
Amorphous Form is simple immunity to crits and sneak attacks. Awesome. Nothing wrong there, really. Thumbs up.
Scales offers an awesome boost to AC. +4 nat amror is probably on par with immunity to crits. Thumbs up.
Size Increase gives a big pet. So, is it to be understood that the Aide gains +8 str, +4 con, more natural armor, and everything, on top of the size, reach and everything of a new size category? If so, this ability is really strong. If not, it should be fine. This one is really awesome by itself anyways, granting the ability to maybe get a Gargantuan Pseudonatural Bear as a pet. Be forsaking a lot of options in exchange for that, of course.
Tentacle gives a tentacle. Assuming that this can be taken multiple times, that's awesome. Thumbs up.
Wings grants the Pseudonatural Bear a flight speed. Makes one think of an all new meaning of the term 'Bear Calvalry'. So awesome. Thumbs up.
Hardy. Can this be taken multiple times? If not, it's a little weak. If so, then Thumbs up.
Fast. Another boost to AC, only this one applies to touch as well, is smaller, but also grants a bonus to Reflex saves. Nothing wrong there. Thumbs up.
Clever. A bonus to will saves and more skill points. Interesting. A little weaker than most of the mutations, but it's cool

And then there was a second list of things to reveiw. First off, being able to swift between options all the time is... weird, but, nothing wrong with it, really. Just, weird:
Chitin is Bulette Armor. Awesome. Might make the Bulette jealous, but, awesome. Thumbs up.
Twisting Flesh gives immunity to crits. Awesome. What is this about 'precision damage', then? That a term you make up? Never once seen it in any d20 book on the face of this Earth. As is, doesn't translate to anything. Assuming it means Sneak Attack, so, crit and SA immunity, Thumbs up.
Lashing Tentacle gives you a one-handed spiked chain that has very low damage. There are feats that allow a character to gain a free tentacle, you know. As is, this gives no extra attacks, and is just a reach weapon. Needs a bit more 'pazaz'.
Might of Madness is a big boost to str. Actually worth it, assuming it stacks with enhancement bonuses. If it didn't, it'd just be a free item. So, this is good. Thumbs up.
Twisted Legs gives normal fast movement, and a bonus to jump checks. Interesting. Nothing wrong with it, but it could use a little... more. Can't say it doesn't get a Thumbs up this way, regardless.
Chameleon Skin makes sneaky barbarian. Very nice. Thumbs up to that one.
Warped Reflexes is the dex side of a Whirling Frenzy, plus a boost to initiative. Seems fine, seeing as you can't have anything else active if you have this one active. Thumbs up.
Unnatural Recovery lets you get your hp back. Cool. Thumbs up.
Webbing gives a weak swim speed, and the traits that a swim speed already gives you. It's a little weak, for the same reason given before, with the original Rat movement bonuses. Might be better suited as 3/4 base land speed, round down, to be truthful.
Resonant Screech is interesting. Could see a person using this to sunder a weapon, then swift actioning out into Chitin. Awesome, Thumbs up.
Sticky Hair. See Webbing.

Touch of Unshaping is an awesome capstone, in so many different ways. It's essentially a save versus severe nausea & potential death, but wastes a standard action and is only usable 2/day. Good, strong captone, through and through and through. Thumbs up.

To Magikeeper:

I see the issue. We are making different base assumptions. I am thinking about an RP-heavy city campaign with the occasional dungeon/fortress/shipping house/etc and from a world building perspective while you are thinking of a more traditional dungeon game (I think).

2. You can use this ability to fly short distances.
3. You can use this ability to ignore traps
4. You can use this ability, scout, then exit from the exit point. (Depends on wording)

And in-combat this does more than bypass AoOs. You can fight ethereal creatures, get out of grapples, ambush without them hearing you coming, etc.

On this side, all forms of games are being taken into account. Everything from an espionage game to a hack-n-slash dungeon crawl. Just, the only thing about espionage games is that, in a world where magic actually exists, it can't be the same way as Espionage is treated in the real world. A politician would not remain in power if people actually knew who he was or where he lived, cause then his rivals would just wind up chanting his name, dropping a peice of hair into a cauldron, and he'd die. Taking that into account, you'd have to recognize that, in the world in which the term 'teleporting assassin' doesn't get you thrown in the loony-bin, people would have grown accustomed and acclimatated to this sort of matter. The average joe wouldn't try and piss off the guy wearing all back with a metal plate over his face, cause they'd just get stabbed in the crotch. If you are trying to make an espionage game in a world where magic exists, there has to be the obvious walls that would have been built to allow civilization to stablize. Having taken that into account, this effect stops being so pretty, doesn't it?

Yes, you could use walk the ghostlands to trounce a guy from outside a city, but, who is to say you know who's house you are aiming for? If the PCs find out where the target lives or who he is, and the guy is a minor NPC, they can just kill him without having to teleport into his bedroom, that's obvious. Doesn't even have to catch them un-aware if they are minor characters. Then, the characters who matter, would indeed be prepared for teleporting assassins. You're correct, though, this is very low levels. That means that the PCs themselves are very minor characters. They won't be able to take on the guys who are prepared for the teleporting assassins, or any guy at all. Murdering people in their sleep is possible for anyone, of course, you don't have to be teleporting around to do it. Generally speaking, of course, low level characters are only going to care about dungeon crawling till they are actually strong enough to take on the Espionage game.

Before, it was 1 wis damage if they failed the save, but he could only inflict a max equal to his barb level. No 24 hours immunity, but it was also sonic and mind-affecting. I'm looking for other effects, but I got nothing off the top of my head. Hideous laughter?

It was definitely the C.Arc version.


How about the pet's bigger as though it was affected by expansion? How's that work?
Yes to multiple tentacles.
Yay bears!
Yes on multiple times to hardy.
Clever also helps the tricks known. Probably wouldn't affect skills, since animals only have 2+ int, and you're unlikely to get to 10 unless you have a crazy-high int.

Oh, I need to put a thing about how you have to have one active at all times. You ARE supposed to be madness and chaos made flesh, after all...
I figured that since it had a visual component and wouldn't always be on it would be okay.
Precision damage is what I've heard it called a lot. Sneak attack, SA, skirmish... That stuff. I can go fix.
Perhaps a bonus to grapples/trips/disarms?
Untyped bonus.
More, like what?
Well, you don't get that extra attack...
Yah, just some minor between-battle healing.
Well, the problem is, a guy can start getting webbing and sticky hair at 3rd. Not even proper swim/climb-based totems gain full speed at 3rd.

Yay for unshaping.

A single point of wisdom damage was considered unbalanced? There is hardly anything in the entire game that actually has a low wisdom. Partially cause even a Mindless Golem has enough wisdom to count as 'average', and partially because, in the eyes of optimization, having a penalty to a saving throw is so bad that it hurts. Barring effects that deal straight wisdom damage, an average opponent ought to have at least 8 wisdom when you face off against them. Having an aura that makes your foes have to fail a save each round for eight rounds straight, and then it might hurt them, would, really, be a lot better than confusion. If you're still worried about the ability, keep the '24 hours immune' caveat tacked on there. (On top of that, it was a capped ammount of damage, you have to be kidding, how is that even remotely scary?)

Expected it to be that. Adding that distinction may turn out necessary, though, if the player doesn't know any Pseudonatural template other than the epic one.


As expansion could work. This one can be taken multiple times, yes?
Good on the multiple times chant. Allows for more specialization, in that case.
Int 20 isn't crazy high. It's a little high for a barbarian, but, it's within reach. MAD would be a problem, but, it'd still be within reach.

Mutations:
A visual component? Also, it's fine. On par with the Bulette totem, and the Bulette totem get his own nice things, don't sweat it.
Yeah, the term 'precision damage' has been floating around a bit. Hasn't made sense anywhere that it's popped up.
You could just make it be a tentacle attack like the Aberrant Aide's boost. That'd make it quite awesome.
More, like maybe the ability to take 2 five foot steps in a round, or making the last 5 feet of any movement in a round be treated as a five foot step.
Lol, the flurry effect is something different. It's a good ability, dude.
Then make it be 3/4 base land speed. Or, if you like, make those two only be able to be taken at level 6 or later.

Not sure. Multiple growths might just get ridiculous.
Specialization into tentacles?
Not crazy high, but definitely high.

Mutations:
A bulette totem's AC is sorta subtle, his skin might get a little rough, but this guy would be growing plates of otherworldly black plate.
Alright, I'll change the words.
So instead of transforming an arm into a tentacle, he just grows one?
Mrr. Two five-foot steps feels like it's stepping on cheetah's toes.
I could do three quarters, I suppose. But really, I don't think that extra 5 feet is a lot of difference...

It’s not scary. Its pointless bookkeeping. Every opponent within 30ft makes the save every round and the damage only matters every other failed save (except while warp spasming – it was 2 damage then). The cap also changes while using warp spasm and the whole thing was just a mess the class didn’t need. It is already a strong totem. Confusion for 1 round was honestly less of a hassle. I would prefer an ability related to movement or some non-dice-roll-forcing aura IMO, but I was willing to accept the confusion. It’s not a very good 4th level spell, and the ability only lasted for 1 round unlike the 1/level duration of the spell.

Y’know, I wasn’t assuming you could pick the same AC augmentation multiple times.

Rithaniel
2010-06-27, 11:50 PM
Chaos Totem
Yeah, it would actually have a use, it would lower will saves. In fact if you are fighting monks and swordsages, you'd be lowering their AC as well. Otherwise it wouldn't do anything as an ability. As for book-keeping, it only matters if the opponents are focused a large ammount on their wisdom score, otherwise it's just crossing out the old number and writing the new one. Wisdom scores are tied to only wis-based skills, and will saves, usually, so, after you cross out the numbers twice, you just give that stuff a -1 penalty. Not difficult.

Aide:
Yeah, fair enough. Gargantuan Bears would be funny, though.
Squid-Bear?
True, true. Philisopher Bears would be worth seeing, however.

Mutations:
Appearance doesn't matter. This is a world where magic exists, there could be a part of town where seeing fish-people with four crab-arms is commonplace.
Yeah. Think the embodiment of chaos having his nose turn into a tentacle is odd?
Fair enough on the Cheetah totem thing. Perhaps something like the ability to pass through difficult terrain, in that case?
Yeah, 5 feet likely won't matter, but, it's a step in the correct direction.

Confusion is an excellent spell. The target only has a 10% chance to act normally or a 10% chance to attempt to get to the caster, which might not be possible if the caster is employing flight. Everything else drives the target to self-destructive purposes. Heck, cast confusion on two people, and then, if you get lucky, and one person rolls high, they attack the other one, and then, due to the rules of the confusion spell, that person attacks the first, who then attacks the second, who then attacks the first, etc. etc. until one dies.

Still need to say that the template from the CAd is being used, and not the one from the ELH. The word 'precision damage' is still up there too.

Things look awesome other than that.


Lizard Totem
That's a cool pic.

Ah, Climb Speed. Thumbs up.

Thorned Tail is a list of proficiencies. Just proficiencies, of course, and you won't be using all those weapons at once, but, offers versatility, at the same time. It's fine as a little bonus thing tacked on there. Thumbs up.

Ah, Improved Trip and the ability to use a whip like a mega-spiked chain. Now that, is powerful. Has a really strong 'fleshing out' behind it, seriously. Thumbs up.

Vanishing Scales is Lurk+. Granted, the Lizard totem doesn't have any shiney toys before this, and the Crocodile does, so, this is their shiney toy (that, and Trash). Lizard totem seems a little empheral, but will earn a Thumbs up as a whole.


Wight Totem
Soul-Reaving Fury is a normal rage that, instead of just granting vertical bonii, allows the guy to push things over the edge, into death. Not to mention a situational bonus in the form of 'temp hp'. This looks awesome, tbh. Thumbs up.

Bone Slave offers a pet skeleton. Now, starting out, skeletons are pretty fragile creatures, having no bonus hp from con scores, all bad saves, and low BAB. In this class, the guy has a low number of HD (for an undead), boosted str and dex, and more natural armor. Judging from a side-point of veiw, that would likely be a creature that is on par with an animal companion of druid level 1/2. A little weak, but the rage bonus is a little strong. Not to mention you just get a free corpse if the other one dies, so, no biggy. Thumbs up.

Death-tainted. Reversal of polarization, eh? Doesn't do much. Just switches charges A and B. If you wanted this class feature to give them an edge, you'd wanna make them be able to be healed by both. Otherwise, it's closer to a fluff change. Thumbs up to the ability as a fluff change, however.

Corpse-Raising Blow is interesting in how it must be used. Point blank of it is that the guy has an army of undead behind him, and, in the middle of combat, if he needs to, he can regain one that just died. Guy with an army of undead. This guy wont be half-shabby, that's granted. Skeletons and Zombies are just weak undead unless buffed, of course, so, Thumbs up.

Draining Touch is a little bit of a vampiric ability. Might be better off as (full barb level), if you're trying to get it to pass for a capstone, of course.

For the air-water and fire-water totems, you could do Clouds and Plasma, or Storm and Acid, or even Sight and Decay. Anything could work if you offer justification for it.

Gah, forgot those, fixing now.


Lizard Totem
Well, I though granting proficiencies would be awkward at later levels, so I had to make the ifst-level one just the proficiencies.

Not a MEGA spiked chain, you're threatening your normal reach, not the full 15 feet 'o doom.

I had a lot of trouble with lizard, really, mostly 'cause lizards don't DO much.


Wight Totem
should I include a thing on bone slave about not counting against HD limit of undead controlled?

Well, it does work with that negative energy touch thing.

He also gains additional uses/rage as he levels. It allows you to replace the fallen and upgrade your forces with bigger, beefier beasties.

I though at-will healing at half-level would be plenty, especially if it doubles as extra damage/lil' extra healing.

Didn't think of storm, that'd definitely be a good water/air. For fire-water... Augh. Earth has acid, steam is too airy, plasma doesn't even EXIST (It's also the state above gas, so don't think that would fit), I'm NOT making a booze totem... None of these googles for water-fire or para-elements are turning up anything...

I could probably do a wyvern totem. Let's see... Poison, maybe skirmish? I mean, it's not got a lot of iconic abilities...


Yes, Poison for sure. Maybe some kind of spring attack like ability. Grapple too, maybe... I'm not sure how that could all mix together.

Whenever I think of wyverns I remember one session in which my Gnome rouge was carried off in a wyvern's talons. He was going to be food for its babies if my party hadn't made a daring rescue. :smalleek:

It's okay, take your time, it's just a couple of words. Absolutely necessary changes, of course, but, just minor changes.


Lizard Totem
Hmmm, then that reach/threatening thing is a little weaker than was expected. Not as cool as it was before. Still, it's okay

Yes, lizard did seem to stop you a bit. It isn't any more or less than the Ape, of course.


Wight Totem
Actually, yeah, you probably should, otherwise a cruel DM might abuse that at some point.

Well, yeah, the negative energy touch does work with this, but this makes them be harmed by positive energy, suddenly, making it suck to be in an all-human party with the cleric who uses a wand of cure light wounds, you can't be healed from level 2 to level 5.

Yeah, the ability was well desgined, have to give you that.

It's at will healing, yes, but it eats an entire standard action for half your ecl in hp. That's too slow. It might as well be 'fast healing 1' if it's that way. If you wanna make it a useful ability, and a viable healing source, you might wanna copy the spell harm.

Glad you liked the term 'storm'. Go with the first pic, btw.

Fun stuff, shall go fix.

Even an all-human-party cleric is still quite capable of preparing some inflict spells to compensate for that...

Doesn't eat a standard action, it eats an attack action. It does eat a standard at the lower levels when you only have one attack, but it can also be used offensively for a little less healing. As you level the healing goes up and action investment goes down. The once/round limiter is to prevent a guy from full-attacking himself with healing.

Construct Totem:

{table=head]Level|BAB|Fort|Ref|Will|Special
1|+1|+2|+0|+0|Avatar 1/day, Astral Construct
2|+2|+3|+0|+0|Synthesizing
3|+3|+3|+1|+1|Construct equipment
5|+5|+4|+1|+1|Living construct
[/table]
Avatar: 1/day at first level, a construct totem barbarian can enter a state where they develop the precise, devastating powers of machines. When they enter this avatar state, they get +4 strength, +4 con, and become immune to all mind-affecting spells and abilities. However, while in this state, any damage they take may only be healed while in Avatar form, and while in avatar form, they can only be healed by repair spells, instead of normal healing spells. This ability replaces the normal barbarian's rage, and lasts a number of rounds equal to 3+con modifier. When the construct totem barbarian would gain greater rage, he gains an additional +2 to str and con, and DR 5/adamantine. When the barbarian would gain mighty rage, they gain an additional +2 str and con, and an additional DR 5/adamantine.
Astral construct: As a psi-like ability, at will, a construct totem barbarian can make an astral construct. The level of this construct is equal to 1/2 the barbarian's level, minimum 1.
Synthesizing: As second level, the construct totem barbarian can create up to 1 cu ft/level of non-magical, non-living, non-metal material as a standard action. The barbarian may choose to divide the total quantity of material he can make amongst several uses of this ability. The created object lasts for 1 hour/level.
Construct equipment: As a standard action, 1/day, a construct totem barbarian can create armor or weapons for himself. He must succeed on a successful craft (armorsmith) check to make a suit of armor (DC = DC to make that suit of armor), and a successful craft (weaponsmith) check to make a weapon (DC = DC to make that weapon). Weapons can be made masterwork using this ability. The construct totem barbarian may make this weapon a +1 weapon. Every 3 levels later, the barbarian gains an additional use of this ability each day, and may add another +1 to one of the objects they create with it (e.g., the barbarian can make a +2 great axe and a suit of plate mail, or a +1 great axe and a +1 suit of plate mail, etc.). This object lasts for 1 hour/level.
Living construct: At 5th level, the barbarian gets the living construct subtype and +2 con. The barbarian can now be healed while not it avatar state, but must still be healed by a repair spell.


So, what do you think?

A cleric picks either inflict or cure spells. Things aren't that easy. Course, yeah, it's that feat, only the guy can't qualify for other tomb-tainted feats. That's part of the reason why it ought to be a little better.

Might as well eat a standard action, as it's only once a round. As a capstone, this is just (+1/2 level damage to a single attack each round) and (fast healing 1/2 level (which has already been established to be about equal to hast healing 1)). No matter how you look at it, it's not on par with pounce.

Alright, how about he's normal most of the time, then switches during soul-reaving fury? Then at 5th,m the change becomes permanent.

Gah, fine. Full barb level it shall be.


Construct Totem
Well, as it stands, the idea was to have a sort of golem general totem with a few pan-golem abilities, with sub-totems defining the difference among the individual sorts.

Then there were gonna be inevitables, who would each have their own totems.

Beyond that, there may be additional construct templates, but they'd be specific creatures, not pan-construct abilities, because constructs can be VERY different from one another. The totem you've put up doesn't really 'emulate' a specific construct.

Storm is up! Might need an additional wind& rain ability, but I'm WAY tired so it'll have to wait for tomorrow.

Fable Wright
2010-06-29, 03:27 AM
Actually, it was supposed to emulate the Madcrafter of Thoon, to an extent, but I just decided to give it a more generic name, and eventually the abilities panned out to that... how about renaming it to the Constructor totem? (Creator totem would be a bit... awkward, theologically speaking) Or maybe the Crafter totem?

Also, on Storm totem, in the table, you called it thundering strikes, and in the description it was Lightning strikes .

Also, just curious, what is whirling frenzy? I haven't seen it in any sourcebooks. Could someone explain it to me? (I've wanted to ask this question since the other thread; this did not come up recently with me)(this question on the behalf of confused people everywhere (reading this thread)).

I have a suggestion: Stork Totem. It was believed that they took care of their elderly (not true, but ancient peoples misinterpreted their actions in this way) and have been associated with various aspects of the family.

Stork Totem
Magi doesn't know how to re-size pictures, but he found some:

New Class Skills: Heal
{table=head]Level|BAB|Fort|Ref|Will|Special
1|+1|+2|+0|+0| Compassionate Fury, Guardian’s stride
2|+2|+3|+0|+0| Bodygaurd
3|+3|+3|+1|+1| Protecting Reach
5|+5|+4|+1|+1| I am your Opponent
[/table]

Compassionate Fury: As the rage class ability, except that a stork totem barbarian does not receive the bonus to constitution and can perform any action he could normally perform if he had not used this ability (including int- wis- and cha- based skill checks and activating magic items). Whenever the stork totem barbarian would would normally gain additional uses of rage, he instead gains additional uses of Compassionate Fury. In addition, when the stork totem barbarian gains greater or mighty rage, he gains an additional +2 bonus to strength and an additional +1 bonus to will saves while using Compassionate Fury.

Guardian’s Stride: Once per round as a free action Stork Totem barbarian may choose an ally. If that ally moves from a square adjacent to the barbarian he may move with her as long as he remains adjacent to her at all points during the move. The barbarian moves at the same time as the ally, although he cannot move farther than twice his base land speed in this way. The barbarian does not need to have a remaining move action to use this ability.

Bodygaurd: A stork totem barbarian can choose to guard an ally with his body. As a swift action, he can choose to give all ranged attacks made against an ally a 50% miss chance. If they miss the original target, however, they instead strike the stork totem barbarian.

Protecting Reach: Once per round as a free or immediate action, the stork totem barbarian may move a willing adjacent ally to any unoccupied square adjacent to the barbarian. The stork totem barbarian may use this ability an additional time per round per 3 class levels above 3rd level.

I am your opponent: Once per round, the stork totem barbarian may force an opponent he successfully damages to make a will save (Save DC 10+1/2 the barbarian’s class level+ Str). If the opponent fails his save he must either attack the barbarian whenever able or not make any offensive actions at all. This ability lasts for 1 round. This is not a mind-effecting ability.

^The wording is loosely based on the wording of master of mockery, with the addition of being able to simply not attack (since this is not a mind-effecting effect).

I think it’s power level is on par with the other animal totems. Note that guardian’s stride allows for you to follow an ally that walks past you.

Fire/Water: Well, steam is fire+water, but you already have smoke. Sweat totem is a weird name… um…
Water can boil… boil.. for some reason that reminds me of underwater steam vents…. Vent totem? Nah… what kind of noun fits fire+water? Oil totem? Oil isn’t water, but it is a liquid.




I would've appreciated you voicing your ACTUAL opinion rather than just saying 'it's too powerful', magi. It's easy enough to wipe the extra from warp-spasm...

That’s a pretty accusatory statement for someone who felt that would solve my problems with the ability. Granted, I’ve changed my opinion a few times without properly re-stating it in full, so I suppose it’s my problem. I initially claimed overpowered on the fact the entire totem had too many toys, mostly changed my mind when I claimed I didn’t care what the ability was changed too provided it was changed, and then RIth convinced me that power concerns with the ability were kinda absurd (although you didn’t mention the warp-spasm boost when describing the ability, so I mentioned it to inform Rith). Removing that makes it better, and I have to admit it probably is balanced, but:

Chaos
You are right Rith, it is just one extra roll for every enemy every round, and just one extra set of numbers to keep track of for all of them. If this is the only class doing that the DM is fine. Then homebrew PCs 2-4 play classes that also decided to make you roll saves every round for some penalty maybe. Bookkeeping can pile up fast if everyone just adds a little, and this ability isn’t worth it. Not because it is too weak, or too strong (wow, almost nothing in D&D has a low wisdom score), but because it isn’t fun enough to merit that much rolling all the time. D&D combat is too prone to being bogged down as it is.

Actually, as a general tip, please avoid auras of constant every-round saving throw inducing. I think the reason so many auras have that 24hr restriction is to speed up combat IMO.

Whirling Frenzy. (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/classes/classFeatureVariants.htm#rageVariantWhirlingFrenzy )

Hmm... I like your stork, but I think it's COMPLETELY focused on protection, and doesn't really say 'stork'. This would make a pretty good guardian totem of some sort.

Fire-water... Fire is hot, has connotations of life, energy... Maybe a blood totem? I'll have to take a look at coldfire.

Madcrafter of thoon if from monster manual 5. Essentially, it is a large mass of flesh and metal that spits out acid-coated automatons to do battle for it. If it makes too many in a short interval, however, it starts taking damage. It also has an acid attack.

Also, coldfire can cause people to contract radiation sickness from it, and deals 1/2 fire damage, 1/2 cold damage.

Wight Totem
That would actually work, most likely.

Keep in mind, full barb level is still pretty weak, as a capstone, but, it's acceptable, at least.


Golem Totem
Overall abilities first:

Heartless Fury is a punch of power, for sure. Pretty much just a standard rage minus the will boost but with immunities to specific effects added on instead. Powerful, to say the least, being just a tiny bit above a normal rage. It's good, though. Thumbs up.

Then there was Magic Fuel, which equates to SR with a special ability added on to it. Now, that is pretty. Spell Resistance is already a pretty decent wall. It's not full-proof, of course, seeing as a mage summoning a wall in front of you will not care, so, maybe it is on par with a movement increase. It certainly is strong, of course. The temp hp pushes it over the edge a bit much, now doesn't it, though? Make it just be SR, instead of SR+, and that ability should likely get a solid Thumbs up. Until then, not so much.


Clay Totem
Bulette armor. Thumbs up.

Ah, speed. Speed is awesome. Take 2 attacks in a full-round attack at level 2, with no penalty? Please and thank you. Poweful ability. Might be a little too strong, but, as a class feature, it eats a standard action that can only be taken after the rage has begun, so, probably evens out. First round, no attacks, second round, two attacks. Thumbs up.

Then there was infernal wound light. Badass ability. Clay Golem winds up with some awesome flavor to it, for sure. Thumbs up to the Clay Golem. (issues with the over-all still stand).


Flesh Totem
Bulette. Thumbs up.

Oh, lifespark. Like what you did there. Instead of a full-fledged resurrection, it's just a standard Revivify. Badass. Not to mention it eats a standard action and eats up a chunk of con, and therefore, hp, unless you do it immediately, which, in a combat situation, might not be possible. Utility ability with some real use, and a noticable cost. Thumbs up.

Unnatural. Erm, is this an action? If not, it's a bit strong. Makes the Lion's Roar pale in comparison.


Iron Totem
Nice pic. Were you wanting it to just be an iron golem?

Thumbs up Bulette.

Ah, a breathe weapon... of poison. This is strong. A good ability, to say the least. Granted, it's only a 15-foot cone, and it's only 1d4 con damage, and it's only once per rage, so, will have to give this one a Thumbs up as well.

Spurn Body is a powerful immunity ability. It's just badass. Yet, you also make them still have to put up with it in the end. You could remove the fact that they still have to deal with it, at the end, if you would like, and it'd still get a Thumbs up. Just like it does now.

Okay, so, the guys gets more DR, but it's weaker. Cool. Thumbs up to the Iron Golem (issues with the over-all still stand).


Stone Totem
Stone Plating is... odd. Gives a big bonus to AC, that will decrease... slowly, at best. At level 2, +7 to AC might be easy to expect. At level 10, +18 to AC might be easy to expect. Think (con mod+full barb level) is too much, despite the fact that it decreases. Might be better suited at (con mod+1/2 barb level), as to make it, perhaps, more on par with the Bulette.

Hammer Blows. Ah, big boost to damage. Good ability. Straight-forward, simple. Thumbs up.

Ah, Slow once every 4 rounds. Very short range, eats a standard action. Would be a good capstone, but, has a few too many restrictions, just looking at it that way. Maybe could remove one or two of them to make it a bit more shiny.


Storm Totem
Ah, Lightning Strikes. Bonus electicity damage. Badass. About standard next to the other elementals. Thumbs up.

Endure Elements and Woodland stride for stormy weather. Formatting is funny on that, though. Good ability, fluffy and pleasent. Thumbs up.
(affect him as if he were one size
category larger.)

Okay, Wind & Rain. *cracks knuckles* Getting in there:
Gale Force. If Bullrush and Trip had a child, this would be it. Awesome ability, utility usage. Thumbs up.
Blizzard. A low damage breathe weapon that also makes the ground semi-difficult terrian. Interesting. Damage is low enough to not matter and difficult terrian is 'meh'. Getting both of those together might be worth the effort, however. Would like to see this one with at least slightly higher damage, of course. Thumbs up till then.
Downpour. Interesting. A penalty to ranged attack rolls, and putting out flames. Seems a little weak. Could use a little more 'panache'. Look at the spell 'Sleet Storm' for ideas.
Twister. Now that is battlefield control. This, combined with Gale Force would be awesome. If only it were more than just small creatures. All the same, awesome ability. Make opponents go where you want them to go. Thumbs up all the way.
Is directing these balls of lightning a free action? Do these balls have to make an attempt at a touch attack for the opponent to be considered 'touched', or do they just have to be in the same square? Ability looks fine, damage is decent. Just, there are the questions. Thumbs up.
Fog. Cool. Thumbs up.

Thunder Steps is SO COOL. Awesome capstone. Could use more damage, but just SO COOL. Thumbs up.

Fable Wright
2010-06-29, 08:39 PM
That's where I got the ability. Also, I have an idea.

Limbo Totem:

{table=head]Level|BAB|Fort|Ref|Will|Special
1|+1|+2|+0|+0| Channel the Elements 1/day, Denizen of Limbo
2|+2|+3|+0|+0| Random immunities
3|+3|+3|+1|+1| Strike of Limbo
5|+5|+4|+1|+1| Summon limbo
[/table]

Channel the elements: 1/day at first level, a Limbo totem barbarian can channel the powers of one random element. While in this state, each round roll 1d4.
If you roll a 1, for the rest of the round, you deal an extra 1d6 points of fire damage, +1d6 at 5th level and every 5 levels thereafter with every unarmed attack or attack with a metal weapon and +6 strength, but -2 dex, until the end of the round. You gain power attack as a bonus feat for the rest of the round. When you would gain greater rage or mighty rage, you get an additional +4 strength.
If you roll a 2, for the rest of the round, you deal an extra 1d6 points of cold damage, +1d6 at 5th level and every 5 levels thereafter with every unarmed attack or attack with a metal weapon and +6 dexterity bonus, -2 strength until the end of the round. You also gain combat reflexes for the rest of the round. When you would gain greater rage or mighty rage, you get an additional +4 dex.
If you roll a 3, then for the rest of the round you get a +4 bonus to strength and constitution, but a -4 penalty to dex, and you get a +4 bonus on grapple checks and checks to prevent being bullrushed. You also gain DR 2/adamantine. When you would gain greater rage or mighty rage, you get an additional +2 to strength and constitution, and an additional DR 2/adamantine.
If you roll a 4, then you gain +6 to dex, -2 to con, and you add your dex modifier to any ranged damage rolls you make in that round. You also gain point blank shot as a bonus feat while in this form. When you would gain greater rage or mighty rage, you get an additional +4 dex.
In addition to the effects listed above, when you gain greater rage or mighty rage, you may roll an extra d4, and pick the roll you want. This ability lasts for 3 rounds + your constitution modifier.
Denizen of Limbo: Concentration is a class skill for barbarians. A barbarian is under the constant effect of the perinarch spell, except that others can attempt to wrest control of areas of limbo away from the limbo totem barbarian. A limbo totem barbarian may substitute his concentration for his will check to assert control over a square of limbo.
Random immunities: A limbo totem barbarian has adapted their bodies well to limbo. Whenever they are hit with elemental damage, roll 1d4. If the barbarian rolls a 4, then they gain resistance 10/the element which is hitting them. They automatically roll a 4 when they are on a square of limbo, to determine whether or not they are protected against that element.
Limbo strike: A limbo totem barbarian can summon the powers of limbo with their very touch. This ability is usable 1/round as an attack action. When this ability is activated, the barbarian rolls 1d4. If they roll a 1, the attack does fire damage. If they roll a 2, they deal cold damage. If they roll a 3, they deal acid damage. If they roll a 4, they deal electricity damage, and may use this ability as a ranged touch attack that has a range of 30ft, but deals 1/2 the damage normally done with this ability, but may apply their dex modifier to it as extra damage.This ability deals 1d4 points of damage, plus 1d4 per every 3 levels the limbo totem barbarian has. If they are using their channel the elements ability, then they automatically roll a number equal to the one that they rolled for that ability.
Summon limbo: Every round, as a free action, a limbo totem barbarian can invoke the powers of limbo around him. He must succeed on a DC 20 concentration check to make a 5 ft radius of limbo around him, which he can shape immediately as a free action with his denizen of limbo ability. For ever 5 points he beats this check by, he adds another 5 ft to the radius of this ability. He can use this ability 1/day for every level he has as a limbo totem barbarian.


So, what do you think?

Golem Totem
Alright, I'll remove the temp HP...


Flesh Totem
It takes con damage anyways, even if he gets to them in the round of their demise.

There. Swift action, limited uses/day.


Iron Totem
No, I couldn't find any kind of man-iron golem hybrids so I just put up an iron golem.

Spurn Body: Perhaps I should have it be any lasting effects that would persist normally? I think being immune to will AND fort saves while in rage is a little much.


Stone Totem
Alright, con+1/2 level it is

Moved it down to a swift action, every 3 rounds.


Storm Totem


I kidnapped it directly off the weather domain ability, more or less.

Yay gust!
How much more damage? d6s?
Sleet storm seems like it'll be stepping on blizzard's toes.
It's any creature large or larger, not small.
Free action to direct them, no touch attack, just landing over a target's space.
Yay fog.


:smallamused: I'm glad you approve.


Limbo Totem
Generally speaking, random abilities are... less than useful. I don't know much about limbo, so I find it impossible to judge the rest of it. I think it would be wiser to make a barbarian that can function in more places, as opposed to just on a specific, and foreign, plane of existence.

Magikeeper
2010-06-29, 09:35 PM
Construct Totems
What kind of action is Iron totem’s poison gas? Also, is it intentional that it is a no-save poison? Other than that I like all of the level 2+ abilities. Nice.

Well, the Stone fort delaying has an issue in that you have to remember every fort save they skipped. Not a big deal, but maybe you should remove the fact they have to deal with it later. Heh, maybe instead they could take a point of con damage to automatically pass any fort save that doesn’t effect objects (While in a rage). I think that would also be as balanced, if that is a concern for you, and you don't have to remember anything!

BTW, why is their rage variant simply better than a normal rage? No -2 to AC and immunity to mind-effecting effects. I suppose it stacks up better against whirling frenzy though.


Stork ?Guard Dog? Totem


Hmm... I like your stork, but I think it's COMPLETELY focused on protection, and doesn't really say 'stork'. This would make a pretty good guardian totem of some sort.

Good point. It became less stork like everytime I altered the abilities. Perhaps Guard Dog? It fits the theme of the abilities, and I can imagine a barbarian that has taken the spirit of all that is being a guard dog to a new level. Compassionate fury would probably need to be changed, although it could simply be rage. I considered a rage variant that had you choose an ally, and you could never attack that ally (unwillingly or otherwise), but that seemed way too tailor-made for frenzied berserker.

I think the abilities are in line with an animal totem, so I would like to find an animal focused on protection. It could simply be “dog totem”, but dogs do more than just guard.
Although a new rage ability could cover other doggie stuff in order to make it a dog totem that simply mostly focuses on the defense aspect.

The point of those class features is that they are more powerful, generally speaking, then those of the other elemental totems, and while one turn it could be a huge bonus, the next it could be a handicap. Luck of the draw. Also, the abilities were mainly meant to be used in conjunction with the capstone ability. Limbo is pure randomness, with the 4 elements randomly appearing and disappearing in the form of 10ft cubes. There would be chunks of rock running into infernos, which border lakes, which have a pocket of air beneath them, defying gravity. And then the next round, the terrain shifts. Perninarch allows control of this. That's why gave the totem a large quantity of limbo-related powers; he could cloak him and a nearby enemy in a 10ft cube of flame, and not get hurt. For several rounds each day.

Golem Totem

Flesh Totem
Yeah, which makes it a good ability. Take the con damage for the friend. It works.

Looks good. Compares nicely with the Lion's Roar, since this can be used out of a rage, is a swift instead of a standard, but doesn't have the shaken added on to a successful save, and is gained later on.


Iron Totem
Will try and see if there's any magic to be worked for that, in that case.

They aren't immune to will saves. They just have immunity to mind-affecting effects. There are tons of things that require will saves without being mind-affecting. Anyways, it's only during their rage. It should be fine if they don't have to put up with the effect later. Maybe add a caveat on that effects which still affect objects can still hurt them.


Stone Totem
Awesome, looks good, dude. The slow ability actually turns out a lot more awesome, as it's in addition to other stuff. Great capstone.

Course: as a swift action against a single creature within 10 feet as a standard action. XD


Storm Totem
d6's or d8's would likely be good, or perhaps, for a little varaince: 1d4+2 per 2 levels, so you wind up a tiny bit better than a d6.
Well, Blizzard also has the damage, which Sleet Storm doesn't get.
Oh, Large or smaller, right. Okay, majority. Much better. Thumbs up all the same.
Might wanna specify for ball lightning.

Keep some of those around for the other constructs, too.

Woo. Two Thumbs way, way up for the Iron totem.

Now then, lets get ready to rum-bull:
Aboleth -- "Gods should respect their elders."
Angel -- "I wouldn't have it any other way. Dreams save us. Dreams lift us up and transform us. And on my soul, I swear... until my dream of a world where dignity, honor and justice becomes the reality we all share - I'll never stop fighting. Ever."
Beholder -- "I'd rather keep my glasses on."
Bulette -- "Then this huge guy just came barrelling through the wall--"
Chain Devil -- "Breaking your men will be like breaking a cheap chain. All one has to do is find the weak link, and snap it, and that is something we know all about."
Iron -- "Swords made of damascus iron were once said to have been enough to cleave through rocks and even other metal weapons. Lets find out if that was true."
Clay -- "Once you created perfection, what else is there to do?"
Stone -- "Within every hunk of marble lies an emotion, screaming to get out."
Flesh -- "IT'S ALIIIIIIIVE!"
Crab -- "They were everywhere, coming up out of the water, like some army of bottom-feeders."
Fire -- "I've set about everything on fire at least once. Currently working on igniting the atmosphere."
Water -- "While the mountain may stand tall now, eventually, even the tiniest trickle of water will bring it tumbling down."
Earth -- "No matter how the wind howls, the mountain cannot bow to it."
Air -- "I'll blow you away."
Ice -- "Chill out, bro."
Magma -- "Nature has a way of controlling civilization. It's called 'lava'."
Smoke -- "There was ash falling from the sky, like snow, before he came."
Sand -- "Only a fool thinks he can outrun a sandstorm."
Storm -- "Only if you have ever rose up, into the heart of a lightning storm, seen the mountainous clouds around you, felt the charged air press against your skin, and breathed in the sharp smell of ozone, can you say, that you know peace."
Ethereal -- "His form never sets, instead constantly shifting from one to another, propelled by some ghostly wind."
Fungus -- "Rot and pus dripping from the ceiling and walls around us as the floorboards gave way underneath, rotten through to the core. The stench was unbearable, and the rest of our party was piled up in the middle of the room. Or, at least, what appeared to be the rest of our party."
Gray Render -- "Try and hurt us, and you will be killed."

That's all for now.

Yes, almost all of the good-aligned outsiders where half-assed by WotC. Angels seem to be purely defined as 'not evil' and Gaurdinals seem to be squiggly lines on paper. Course, Archons seem to be a bit more rounded, consistently having frightful presense, immunity to electricity and petrification, tongues, and greater teleport (course Devils are better known for having that).

Maybe like invers powerful build? Has the reach of a larger creature, but none of the other benefits.

--Lime--
2010-07-01, 11:13 PM
Hmm... reach is the only thing that might work, but the fact of the matter is that giraffes aren't particularly good at fighting, they aren't dexterous or nimble, and their one feature (long neck) doesn't fit with barbarians at all. Add to that knobbly knees and the whole thing begins to look shaky.

Now, donkey totem is a different matter. Some sort of "stubborness" bonus to will saves, maybe fort saves. Can carry and drag a lot more weight, possibly functioning as a kind of mount for another character? Something about that thing donkeys do when they buck and kick their back legs out - some kind of attack. OOOH Donkey Punch - some sort of thing where when you're behind an enemy you can smack them hard in the back of the head for some unusual type of damage. Eat anything - no need to go looking for food. Bonus to smashing down doors/gates. Sure-footed - bonus to balance checks and to avoid being tripped/overrun or whatever. If you've ever seen pack donkeys going up those mountain/gorge paths in South America you'll know what I mean. There's a lot to choose from. You could even give them a bite attack if you really wanted.

Rithaniel
2010-07-02, 10:34 AM
Well, giraffes also have spots, which work (in the terrian they live in) like camoflauge (camoflauge class feature :P) and really long legs too (ignoring difficult terrian?).

Donkey would be hilarious, you must make this now, it is a requirement.

Well, just for now:

The iron golem's poison schtick is really rather worthless. 1d4 ability damage (con damage, granted, but still 1d4)? As a standard action? Only during a rage? I would never use this. Ever. Rage time is precious, and I'd much rather hit a guy in the face for a pretty much guaranteed big chunk of damage during that precious time than spend a standard action to allow these guys a fort save in order to deal 0-2 damage per HD. Why not just have it as a swift action once per rage? Or usable outside of rage, maybe 1/encounter, so you have something to fall back on once you run out of uses/if it ends abruptly? Or, better yet, both?

I could see a swift action, probably, but you DO get extra uses of it during EACH rage as you go. Since both rages/day and uses/rage scale, I was a little concerned it would get out of hand too fast.

As for 4th celebrations, totally understandable. Go, enjoy your hotdogs and fireworks!

Evil's Foe: An angel totem barbarian is steadfast in his opposition to the forces of good. He gains a +1 deflection bonus to AC and a +1 bonus to saves against evil creatures and effects created by them. This bonus increases by +1 at every odd numbered level after 1st. In addition, he cannot be touched by summoned creatures as though he were under the effects of protection from evil, using his angel totem barbarian level in place of caster level for overcoming spell resistance.

OK Q

Stain Glass Golem Totem

Keen Edges: At 3rd level and every three levels thereafter, the threat range of any slashing or piercing weapon the stained glass totem barbarian wields is increased by one. (I.E, 19-20 becomes 18-20. If the weapon does not have a threat range, it gains a range of 19-20.) Every three levels thereafter, the threat range increase by an additional one.

How does that effect Keened weapons and Improved Crit?

Admiral Squish
2010-07-05, 02:09 PM
I'd say it increases the crit range by an additional one point.

LunarWolfPrime
2010-07-05, 02:15 PM
Ok lets say you have a lvl 20 in that totem

Keened Kukri or Imp crit Kukri normally have a 15-20 crit range

it crit range would be boosted by 6 points; making it 9-20 right?

Ugh that's sick with a martial study feat and a martial stance feat you can gain the Tiger Claw Stance Blood in the Water and the fight would be a blood bath.

Admiral Squish
2010-07-05, 03:55 PM
Valid point. Not sure what to do about it, though.

Although, as a lv. 20 barbarian, you probably should be making ANYTHING you get into a bloobath.

Debihuman
2010-07-06, 04:54 AM
Simply put a cap on the threat range.

One other thing. Some of these add different movement speeds, if you already have a swim, climb or burrow speed, wouldn't you use the better of the two?

Debby

Admiral Squish
2010-07-06, 11:25 AM
What kind of cap? I mean, I could probably see 'this cannot increase your threat range beyond -' but I'm unsure what the cap should be. It adds six points overall, and I would like it to be felt immediately. If I say the range can't be incresed higher than half your barb level, they wouldn't even notice until 4th on a normal weapon, or 9th level for something more crit-focused. With a keen Kukri/rapier, as pointed out, you wouldn't feel an improvement until 15th.

I'd say use the better of the two. Makes it so I don't have to go back and put in a clause on all of them.

Magikeeper
2010-07-06, 04:27 PM
Hummingbird – Nifty.

Jellyfish
Scourge Style: For some reason I think the restrictions would sound nicer if they were switched, as most abilities like that have it be equal to the modifier up to a max of ~Blah~.

Stinging Strikes: Is the daze for an individual attack or does it count for the cumulative penalty. For example, if a level 9 barbarian uses this 3x against a 9HD opponent, is the opponent dazed or does he have a -9 penalty? I would suggest it not applying to the cumulative, personally.


Manticore -
Volley ability does not specify that the full attack needs to be with a ranged weapon. Intentional?


Alchemical Golem
This has an ability that boosts unarmed strikes and natural attacks, but a typical barbarian doesn’t give you the ability to do either of those things. Not familiar with the golem type – does it need the natural armor ability at level 2? This variant does give an ability that hurts people that hits you, not sure it needs the armor.

Burning Blood: Just dealing 2d6+ per attack is an okay ability, I would have the save be against the sickened condition. Save vs 2 con damage every time you attack the barbarian is pretty ridiculous.

Blood Golem
I’m not sure the last ability is worded right. I think it should specify that it heals you, not that you permanently gain more HP. < Working from memory, ignore this if I am wrong.

Otherwise looks fine

Brain Golem

I very much dislike this ACF.

Thought Armor: Again, I think the ˝ level should be the cap and the stat should be the benefit as other classes have abilities that work that way. Also, Mind Golems have crazy high natural armor.

Mind Stike: This ability is worthless. Will save VS 3d10 at level 6? If it was will save vs half it might have a niche use as it is a touch attack, but as is it’s pretty bleh. I’d rather it be an int-based stunning fist that is opposed by will instead of fort. Actually, that would better fit the mind golem, better fit a warrior that was inspired by the mind golem, and would just generally be useful.

Overload: I really dislike this ability. Dazing for 3-4 rounds is almost a save or die against most groups, and the ability just involves you standing around. Some barbarian. How about something like:

Physical Mind: A Mind Golem is the unity between brain and muscle. Whenever a Brain Totem barbarian would use his intelligence modifier, he may use his intelligence modifier + his strength modifier instead.

Mud Golem – I like this.

Psion-Killer
Crystal Armor: It mentions “stone plating”. That should be changed, yes?

The last ability is kinda weak, but it is a swift action,so I don’t know. Not a bad ACF

Web Golemn - It’s okay.

Still trying to think of an animal name for stork guard dog dog ??? totem.

Golem Totem

Alchemical Totem
Nat armor. Thumbs up.

Consuming Touch. +6d6 acid damage when using a natural attack or unarmed strike. Awesome. The only issues that could even arrise there are few and far between. Interesting thing to mix with the Golem standard skeleton. Thumbs up.

Burning Blood is oddly worded. Does it only trigger when the guy makes an attack that deals damage exactly equal to the totem's HD? Cause, in it's current wording, it does. If that wasn't intended, then you have a problem. Also, the damage and retribution is staggering. The enemies would be more afraid of attacking you than they would be of you attacking them. Might be a bit overkill (depending on the HD thing-a-ma-bob, that is).


Blood Totem
Blood Armor is 'yikes AC'. Heavy Armor on top of an insane natural armor boost is too much. Taking away the heavy armor proficiency and just leaving that cool +con mod nat armor after attack bonus would be cool.

Whirling Strike is good. Can you say "spiked chain o' doom"? It should be fine, of course. Blood golem is turning out to be very strong across the board, so far, though. Whirling Strike gets a Thumbs up. Need to do the work with Blood Armor still, of course.

Blood is Life. So, this would essentially be the Fungus totem's consuming ability? Cool. Interesting capstone. Won't see much combat usage, but, the rest of the Blood totem is strong enough that you shouldn't care. Thumbs up.


Brain Totem
Well (http://www.geekologie.com/2008/10/14/thought-helmet.jpg), found (http://images.elfwood.com/art/j/u/julchen75/psi3.jpg) a (http://brainwaves.corante.com/human-brain.jpg) few (http://www.wizards.com/magic/images/cardart/ALA/Cunning_Lethemancer.jpg) pics (http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w219/yagaminoue/DarkTemplar.jpg).

Thought Sheild? Okay, wow. Was a natural armor bonus, but then, boom, Deflection bonus instead. That is incredibly creative. Only thing is that, since it's restricted by Int, this makes it essentially boil down to 'Int to AC', unless the barb opennly embraces an unacceptable ammount of MAD, and finds a way to get +10 Int. Wouldn't the fact that this deflection bonus doesn't stack with a 'ring of protection' be enough?

Mindstrike is essentially an upgrade to the 'standard action' attack. Worth using, for sure. Thumbs up.

Hmmm, overload is interesting. Once per fight (essentially), the guy can make joe bob stop in his tracks. This totem has been interesting, to say the least. Has an oddly rounded out style of combat. See to Thought Shield, and the whole thing will end up with a Thumbs up.


Brass Totem
Pretty boy.

Natural Armor. Thumbs up.

Hunt. A bonus feat and a circumstanial skill check bonus. Nice. Do tell, though, was that circumstancial skill bonus intended to scale? Thumbs up, however.

Task at Hand. Hmmm. Interesting. So, the Brass totem could use this ability to take 10 on all skill checks required to run through a gauntlet of skill checks? Cool, reminiscent of the Monkey totem. "Monkey Golem". Thumbs up to the Brass totem.


Hangman Totem
Nat Armor. Unacceptable :P. Thumbs up.

Noose Grip. Ah, crocodile grapple minus the ability to move the grapple, with the added ability that they begin to auto-drown, even if they were previously holding their breathe. Badass. Thumbs up.

Execute is interesting. If you can render a ton of foes helpless, this is pretty useful. Otherwise, eh, not so much. Thumbs up to the hangmand totem, however, it's really cool.


Mud Totem
Thumbs up.

Slip and Slam is interesting. Might need a little bit more of a punch, like, allowing them two slam attacks, instead of just one. Goes too slow with just one. Good ability, however. Thumbs up.

So, the guy has one focus on making the foe be bad at resisting bull rush, trip, and disarm attempts, and another on grappling. Can you say 'splayed focuses'?


Prismatic Totem
Prismatic Reflection. See Thought Sheild.

Prism Cut is an attack action once per round? Or is it a once per round enhancement to an attack? Or is it something else? All the same, it's interesting. An admirable list of random effects that are worth accepting the once per round limit. Thumbs up. Still needs a little clarity, however.

Brilliance is cool. A mook killer, for sure. Course, does it effect those inside the shadowy illumination or the normal illumination? Cool ability however, Thumbs up.


Psion-Killer Totem
Celestial Mantle, so cool.

Crystal Armor. Ah, the stone totems 'Stone plating'. Cool. Thumbs up.

Unpower Burst is awesomely powerful. One quick question, however: is the burst centered on the barbarian? Also, is the barbarian also affect? Cause, if he is, then this likely won't be used very often, since the party wizard will then wind up never buffing the psion-killer, as he'll just knock em right back off (assuming psionics/magic transparency, course).

Ah, now Shatter Armor is cool. Once per round, unleashing a 20 foot burst of Xd4 damage. That is an epic capstone. Thumbs up to that ability. Just clear up the parts of the Unpower Burst, and the Psion-killer totem will earn two raging Thumbs ups.


Shadesteel Totem
Abra (http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/0/77/460061-black_lightning_matthew_clark01_large.jpg) Kadabra (http://www.wizards.com/global/images/mtgcom_arcana_510_pic2_en.jpg) Alakazam (http://www.wizards.com/global/images/mtgcom_arcana_510_pic3_en.jpg)

Natural Armor? Absurd. Thumbs up.

Negative Wave is a good damage inflicter. Is the barbarian himself effected by the wave? Course, this is actually high damage next to the other totems. Actually comparable damage to the Psion-killers Shatter Armor effect, only with an even larger radius. Might wanna see about that.

Darkblend. Almost always has concealment, eh? Interesting capstone. Thumbs up.


Stained Glass Totem
Glittersong is 'omg power'. The mitigating factor of 'only out to 10 feet' is interesting, but, it might not be enough. Might wanna restrict it all the way to 'adjacent opponents'.

Keen Edges. Crit Range enhancment. Cool. If there's any real worry about it, then just make it not stack with other crit-enlarging effect. Good ability, though. Thumbs up.

Blood on the Glass is cruel to picture. Granted, the damage is negligable, being only 1 damage a round. Might be better suited at 2 or 3 damage each round there-after, you know. Cool ability, course. Thumbs up.

Natural Armor is Thumbs up.

Sticky Fingers is interesting. Some pretty decent disarming and grappling, not to mention the ability to disarm a foe of their weapon if they nat 1, and then, next round, if they try to punch you, grapple time. Thumbs up. That's a cool ability.

Wallstride, eh? Gain a climb speed of 20 feet? The ape totem better than this in every regard.


Hummingbird Totem
Lightning Dodge is much better than the normal dodge feat. Not to mention that the guy can now start the spring attack chain and be happy about it. Thumbs up to that.

Flower-Piercing Dance allows the guy to rocket across the battlefield. Might not need Spring Attack in this build. Awesome ability. Thumbs up to the Hummingbird.


Jellyfish Totem
Got (http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o76/mardyr/1245706577486.jpg) a (http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o76/mardyr/1244868081748.jpg) few (http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o76/mardyr/1244725805230.jpg) pics (http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o76/mardyr/1244076487222-1.jpg).

Swim Speed. Awesomeness. Thumbs up.

Scourge Style is interesting, for sure. Lot of exotic weapon proficiencies at level 2. Not to mention a big boost to-hit with them. Thumbs up.

Stinging Strikes is awesome. Poison on the weapons, not to mention a steadily progressing debuff. Then, once the debuff hits a certian point, it turns into dazing. Seriously brutal. Awesome ability all the way around. Say, though, does the debuff stay around even after the guy is dazed? If so, then would he be dazed for the rest of combat? A little confusing there.


Manticore Totem
*wolf whistle*

Rain of Spikes = Rain of Feathers. Therefore Rain of Spikes = Awesome. Thumbs up.

Track. Bonus feat is awesome. Thumbs up.

A flurry on top of a flurry on top of a flurry on top of a flurry? Whoa. That's awesome. So far, at level 12, the manticore totem will have an attack sequence of +5/+5/+5/+5/+5/+5/+0/-5, when in Rain of Spikes. which is 8 freaking attacks, but very few of which are likely to hit. Manticore totem is awesome. Thumbs up to it.

Snowballing Magi and Rith's concerns into one.


Golem Totem

Alchemical Totem
Consuming Touch: It's easy enough to get unarmed strike or take a level of monk.

The intent was damage equal or greater. How does sickened/nauseated work in the place of the 2 con damage?


Blood Totem
Alright, I can do +con mod. I was interested in that heavy armor, though, it fits the armored blood golem.

Yeah, just some between-battle healing at times.


Brain Totem
Yay pic-magic!

Well, I was worried that the fact deflection covers touch AC as well made it too powerful. As for mind golems having crazy NA, what are YOU looking at? The one I saw had +4.

I like mindstrike. It's based off mind thrust, the psionic power. Perhaps just make it an addition to an attack 1/round?

It's ONE opponent, magi. It is a powerful lockdown, but it's not a win button against a group of creatures, or even a pair. I do need to give it an action, though.



Brass Totem
Not sure he fits the totem though, I was having trouble finding anything involving brass.

Gah, forgot to scale it...

Well, it's supposed to be more based on the turtle. Slow and methodical.


Hangman Totem
Murderiffic!

Well, they do fall unconscious when drowning...


Mud Totem
Alright, two slams is doable. Lower damage, though.

Well, nobody can really call mud 'cohesive'...


Prismatic Totem
See though shield response, then :P

It was an enhancement to an attack once/round.

The intent was just the area of normal illumination.


Psion-Killer Totem
Thought I GOT all those mentions, dammit.

Burst centered on the barbarian, yes, but does not affect him.

It does eat actions to use it over and over, though. Standard to make the armor, swift to explode it.


Shadesteel Totem
Picture-wizard!

No, barb is not affected. I thought it being a standard action and a save would be good. Also, thought that it being a burst that would affect allies too would make the barb less likely to use it. Would require special setup to work properly. Plus, can't be used against undead.

Basically just gabbed it straight out of the shadesteel.


Stained Glass Totem
Well, if the barb is openly hostile, they get extra saves, and if anyone draws a weapon it's broken.

Alright, unstacking with crit-expanding spells/effect/feats.

I could see 2/round...


Web Totem
I was trying to come up with some kind of spidersilk armor, like stone armor, but I couldn't figure out how to work it in my head.

Not just a natural one, they only have to miss.

20 feet with a couple other bonuses. Keep your dex bonus and such.


Hummingbird Totem
Not too powerful? I thought one target at a time would be good enough.

spring attack on crack was the general attempt. Does it work?


Jellyfish Totem
Boost to-hit Vs. armored opponents, that is.

It was supposed to be if the attack WOULD increase the penalty to be equal/greater than his HD, he is instead dazed, but doesn't take the penalty.


Manticore Totem
Medieval machine gun!

Golem Totem

Alchemical Totem
Sickened/nauseated would actually be very good in this situation.


Blood Totem
Looks good. Thumbs up to it.


Brain Totem
Nice choice for pic.

Well, yeah, deflection does cover touch AC, but, honestly, all that does is cover a weakness that is usually not covered. It might catch the opponent off gaurd, but, when it boils down to it, it's still the same statistical change that was in the Bulette armor, only with it extending somewhere else. Granted, deflection is big. Perhaps, instead of deflection, make it be untyped, and apply to touch AC, but not to FF. That way it would be a reverse armor bonus.

Sure, making an attack that deals an extra 'blah' damage would be good.


Brass Totem
Would you like some magic?

Well, it turns out pretty well, tbh.


Hangman Totem
Ah, good point on the falling unconscious. Execute just turned into an 'omg' totem. Definitely wanna take that one.


Mud Totem
Lower damage? But it was already a d4. Tch, okay. Thumbs up to it, course. Awesome ability.

As for mud not being cohesive, that doesn't mean you shouldn't try and make the class directed.


Prismatic Totem
Might wanna try and clarify that. Like say 'make a normal attack, and roll a d8, referring to the following table. That attack carries the designated effect as well as whatever other effects it might have already carried.


Psion-Killer Totem
Yeah, that's why it was 'once per round'.


Shadesteel Totem
Ah, the pic of Black Lightning.

All your allies have to do is take 'tomb tainted soul', and they now all have infinite healing. Damage might be better on par with other totems if it were 1d10 per 3 barb levels.


Stained Glass Totem
It doesn't say that the effect is broken in case of openly hostile events happening. Might wanna add a blurb about that in there.

2/round would be good.


Web Totem
Eh, could be like light armor.

Yeah, the 'nat one' things was an example.

All of those bonuses are parts of a climb speed. If you have a climb speed, you have all those individual parts. Need proof?


Hummingbird Totem
Nah, not too powerful. 'Only against a single foe' is plenty of a mitigating factor to even out how big that AC boost is.

Yes, it does in fact work.


Jellyfish Totem
True, true.

Might wanna clarify that. Was a little confusing.

Golem Totem

Alchemical Totem
Sickened scaling into nauseated, or should I just stick with sickened?


Brain Totem
I'll just leave it as deflection.

Alright, there shall be a quick fix, then.


Brass Totem
Little magic would be appreciated.


Hangman Totem
An 'OMG' totem? There's a category?


Mud Totem
D3 to D4 isn't that big of a difference. Ah, well, I'll go for D4s.

True. But I'm working off mud golem, which is just as broadly-spread.


Prismatic Totem
I'll see what I can do about it.


Psion-Killer Totem
is it too many actions, or does the damage scale too quick?


Shadesteel Totem
True, but then, you offered the opposite argument to condemn the wight totem swapping his life force, that that much specialization around one character was impractical. Now it's INFINITELY more specializing, and you're saying it's too strong. I can see the d10s o' damage, though.


Stained Glass Totem
Fascinated Condition. (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/conditionSummary.htm#fascinated) It's in there. Hostile creature approaching offers a new save, and it's broken with an obvious threat, like a weapon being drawn, aimed, or wielded in there direction.

2/round is done.


Web Totem
Yeah, but stone plating offers more armor, with no penalties. So, I'm not sure how to add more of a dexterity/mobility based bonus to it.

I didn't think climb speed had ALL of that. But, I can't make it a full climb speed thanks to that first-level golem trait. I'd be front-loading it. Plus, 20 foot climb speed is just about what you were recommending before, anyways, wasn't it?


Hummingbird Totem
By the way, can you do anything for hummingbird picture? I couldn't find much, and what's up there was better than nothing.

I can kinda see this guy using flower-piercing dance to rush all through the battlefield, striking and darting as he goes.


Jellyfish Totem

Brain Golem

Mindstrike: It’s fine now.

Overload: Fine. But I still want something that promotes physical action in an offensive barbarian ACF as opposed to just standing around. How about, instead of being a dinky standard action, this ability effects someone you hit 1/minute? Like a more refined version of mindstike. I would like that much better. Or maybe, as a standard action you can make a melee attack (as normal, damage and all), and if it hits then they get to make the save.


Alchemical Golem

Caustic Strike: It is easy to acquire, but it is still a feat/multiclass/race tax in order to even use your class ability. What if you could use it as a melee touch attack in addition to the other stuff? Not a very good melee touch attack, but it would just be a token ability for people that intend to take monk later or something. It's sad when you can't use your new ability.

Blood Golem

Blood Armor: What was wrong with the old version? I disagree with Rith, as long as the ˝ restriction is there the ability was fine. It’s too weak now. At least have it be +2 per hit.

Admiral Squish
2010-07-07, 02:08 AM
Brain: I still don't see what you're trying to say. HE's not 'standing around' any more than shadesteel, or elephant, or fungus, or any other totem that has a standard action special attack.

Alchemical: Fine, I'll throw something in about using it with a touch attack.

Blood: I'm trying to compromise here. This way, as combat goes on the AC increases, and since it lasts longer, it doesn't require him to get the crap kicked out of him in the previous round, it can build up. Fighting multiple enemies, it'll stack up fast. Fighting single enemies, it'll still be nice and useful.

See Ethereal Totem's Walk the Ghostlands: you have a mechanic that requires the rounding up of a level. That should be rounded down. However, I think this is too weak (and I rarely ever say that). I highly suggest that this work exactly like ethereal jaunt spell as 1 round/level.



You become ethereal, along with your equipment. For the duration of the spell, you are in a place called the Ethereal Plane, which overlaps the normal, physical, Material Plane. When the spell expires, you return to material existence.

An ethereal creature is invisible, insubstantial, and capable of moving in any direction, even up or down, albeit at half normal speed. As an insubstantial creature, you can move through solid objects, including living creatures. An ethereal creature can see and hear on the Material Plane, but everything looks gray and ephemeral. Sight and hearing onto the Material Plane are limited to 60 feet.

Force effects and abjurations affect an ethereal creature normally. Their effects extend onto the Ethereal Plane from the Material Plane, but not vice versa. An ethereal creature can’t attack material creatures, and spells you cast while ethereal affect only other ethereal things. Certain material creatures or objects have attacks or effects that work on the Ethereal Plane.

Treat other ethereal creatures and ethereal objects as if they were material.

If you end the spell and become material while inside a material object (such as a solid wall), you are shunted off to the nearest open space and take 1d6 points of damage per 5 feet that you so travel.

Also, you may want to change Ghost-Road to match the etherealness spell.




This spell functions like ethereal jaunt, except that you and other willing creatures joined by linked hands (along with their equipment) become ethereal. Besides yourself, you can bring one creature per three caster levels to the Ethereal Plane. Once ethereal, the subjects need not stay together.

When the spell expires, all affected creatures on the Ethereal Plane return to material existence.

Do note that etherealness spell lasts for 1 minute/level. I think this should apply as well.

I think it is much easier to rely on pre-existing abilities.

These should be spell-like abilities as well. In fact, you should note which Special abilities are Extraordinary, Spell-like and Supernatural. Some aren't noted correctly in the SRD and in the official books, but that doesn't mean they should be overlooked.

Alright, I went through and spread all of them out a little for ease of reading, and I also updated Ooze, Peacock, and Ethereal. I'm not sure about etherealness, I'm a little wary of giving 9th level spell at 5th level. Maybe at 1 round/level?

I still have to go over them and quantify Ex, Su, and, SP. Does it still count as Sp if I changed the effects? The save? The area? The duration?

I also modified the contents post to include a 'finished' category, though it doesn't count the Ex, Su, and Sp markings yes. and spoiler-ed the lists to stop taking so much space.

First, I wouldn't worry about one spell as a spell-like ability. The level balances it somewhat. If you drop the etherealness to 1 round/level, that would also be quite fair.

Second, it does still count as spell-like if you change things (duration, area, etc.) However, the DCs are different for Sp than for Su. In looking things over, you always use Su DCs (10 + 1/2 level + ability modifier) so you might as well keep that consistent. Conversely, Sp DCs are 10 + level of spell + ability [usually charisma] modifier. You might as well make both Ethereal Jaunt and Etherealness Su abilities.

Havining it scale into nauseated would be okay.

Course, you do still need to say that 'if the damage is equal to or exceeds the barbarians HD', cause, it's still only if they exactly equal it's HD.


Brain Totem
Yeah, you still find yourself faced with the issue that the barbarian has to drench himself in MAD in order to have that bonus ever rise above 0 (honestly, a barbarian is extremely likely to have 10 Int).


Brass Totem
Will get on that today, sometime.


Hangman Totem
Well, the really cool totems are 'omg' totems. Like Eagle, Manticore, Storm, Fungus, and now Executioner.


Mud Totem
Eh, guess it'll work.


Prismatic Totem
Yeah, there are parts in there that will confuse people who aren't directly informed of what it means.


Psion-Killer Totem
Well, with that many actions, and as it being a capstone, it should likely do even more damage (like 1d4+1 instead of 1d4).


Shadesteel Totem
Nah, the Wight totems problem was that it didn't get enough from the class feature, nothing about specialization. It was essentially getting Tomb-tainted soul minus the benefit of having tomb tainted soul for prerequisites. So, it needed to be more. This is an entirely seperate problem. The damage is high enough that the Psion-Killers Shatter Armor barely keeps up. The tomb-tainted soul point was just a side note to point out how the others PCs might not actually care about being hit with negative energy.


Stained Glass Totem
Oh, nice catch. Might wanna say so in the ability description, though, so joe bob doesn't miss that part and make his character too strong.


Web Totem
Care for a few brainstorming ideas?

Yeah, it could work, perhaps. Not great, but, it'll earn a Thumbs up.


Hummingbird Totem
Will see what can be found.


Jellyfish Totem
Might wanna say 'If a jellyfish totem barbarian's opponent would take a penalty from this ability that would make his total penalty equal to or exceed his HD--'.

Awesome! That will be a netbook worth saving.

Course, in the same way that a Fire Elemental is a walking, talking, ball o' fire that is entirely extra-ordinary in existance, as it can waltz into and out of an antimagic feild without detriment, a Djinn has an extra-ordinary flight speed that he uses without flapping his arms around, and a +1 Flaming Bastard Sword is just a good sword that happens to be coated in napalm, any of these abilities could be justified as being (Ex), (Ps), (Sp), (Su), or even (feat) effects. That means every single one of them, no matter what they are.

Spoilering some of the images would be a good idea.

I recommend that any Special Ability that is based on a spell be considered Supernatural, and all others will be Extraordinary. If being in an anti-magic field should suppress the ability, consider it Supernatural.

This way the mechanics don't need to be changed. DC 10 + 1/2 barbarian level + ability modifier will be standardized.

Also, none of the pictures will be in the netbook. If anyone can find suitable clip art I'd be a lot happier.

Heh, well, the problem you encounter there, is that everybody winds up being the same, first making the game boring, and second making "I win" buttons be all the more reliable (Which is something no one really wants). See, if everyone in the world who teleports, does so via magical means, then teleporting is undone completely by a single antimagic field, and joe bob the cleric will always win.

Now, granted, if something actually has a mechanical dependancy on not working in an antimagic feild, for whatever reason, then, of course, making them be (Su) would be all but absolutely required. Course, no such abilities have yet been made in the totems.

Sorry to hear that you won't be able to use these pics. They add a new dimension to the totems. It would probably be fine without them, of course.

There are ways around antimagic fields that don't require the use of teleport at all. Are you admitting to a lack of creativity?

The lack of teleport only comes into question in ONE totem. How does that make the totems all the same? Everyone has different strengths and weakness before even taking a class. There are racial factors too.

I think you are being very unfair in your assessment. Bob the cleric might just have a mundane way of getting around an antimagic field (over it, under it, around it, but not necessarily through it). If that antimagic field keeps popping up in your game then perhaps you are overusing it.

The teleporting example was just that: an example. There might be ways around an antimagic field, yes, but those ways might not always be availalbe. Creativity is a good thing, yes, but you can't take it for granted that you can get through any situation on purely creativity. Sometimes you need something hard to fall back on, you need to be able to rest assured that in the case that you aren't able to squirm out of a tough spot, you still have an ace up your sleeve.

Also, making them (Su) wouldn't make all of the totems the same, that's a given, but it would make them all at least very similar as a caster sort.

Antimagic fields are also a pretty big staple in the caster world, as it's an end-all to other casters and magic effects, after all.

Now, just so that it's perfectly clear: yes, some of these could be (Su) abilities, and it'd be fine. But it should not be a gut reaction to make everything (Su).

I am thoroughly opposed to giving the Ethereal Totem Barbarian ethereal jaunt as an extraordinary ability as that would definitely be overpowered. Etherealness would be even more overpowered.

Okay, well, yeah, plenty would make sense to be extra-ordinary. What this is essentially going to boil down to, however, is "let's let the Admiral decide which ones will be what", as none of these abilities really need to be anything, yet.

Course, would you care to elaborate on how those spells being (Ex) would be overpowered? That seems a pretty big leap to be making, to be entirely truthful.

"If a jellyfish totem barbarian's opponent would take a penalty from this ability that would equal or exceed his HD"

It implies that it would trigger if they would take a single penalty that equals or exceeds their HD, which, if a person didn't think, and only read it once, they would assume to be the way it actually works. There needs to be a mention in there as for 'if the total penalty exceeds their HD'. Understand? Just a last hole that needs to be patched, so that people don't fall victim to it.

Yeah, this computer is on 56k dail-up, so, while it's easier to load that front page now, it actually takes more time to look at a picture than it did before.

Brain Totem
Makin' sure.


Prismatic Totem
I know I can rearrange them, but it's always a headache, so I attempt to avoid it.


Jellyfish Totem
Wedged 'total' in there. How about NOW?

Those still EXIST? :smalleek:

Yeah, that's fair enough. Prismatic actually winds up being pretty 'omg', tbh.


Jellyfish Totem
Looks pretty good, but now you have paperwork to do!

*slams a 200 pound box of files and forms onto your desk*

Yes, sadly, they do. Surfing the internet with it is like trying to peel an orange with a calculator: Somehow possible, but excrutiating to acheive.

Alright, hound, lantern, and trumpet are up and I'm about to pass out. I know trumpet needs work, especially with the skill DCs, but I'm too tired to fix it now. The sun's coming up and I still haven't slept.

When you wake up, some things:
You might want to steal some of the anti-loophole bit from Wild Shape for Form of the Hunter. Like, what happens to magic items?

I like the Swarm of Lights. You say you summon them as a standard action-can you summon them all in one action?
Can you use Iterative attacks with Spear of Light? If you have, say Rapid Shot, do each of the floating glowglobes also fire a bonus shot?

I am a little confused by the Bat Totem. If he can see in Darkness, even magical darkness why give him blindsense and blindsight out later?

At first level: Bat senses, then at 3rd level Darksight would be the more correct order of things.

Darksight should be supernatural ability if it can penetrate magical darkness.


Bat Sense (Ex): A bat totem barbarian emulates the bat as he grows in experience. At 1st level, the bat totem barbarian gains blindsense out to 10 feet and blindsight out to 5 feet. Every three levels thereafter, the range of his blindsense increases by 10 feet, and the range of his blindsight increases by 5 feet.

Darksight (Su): A Bat totem barbarian is well suited to working in the dark, and can see normally in darkness, even magical darkness.

Even if he loses darksight, say from an antimagic field, he still has bat sense. Otherwise, he would have no use for bat sense.

Edit to avoid double post:

Bunny Totem's Cute Rage should note that it is a morale penalty. Do you really want to spell it "Super Bunnie Punch" or "Super Bunny Punch" because the former is spelled too cutesy and it's not a real word.

Edit to avoid triple post:

Beholder Totem: Eye Beam and Double Take should be two words and Double Take should be an Ex ability.

It's not wildshape so much as sorta becoming a were-doggie.

Each one's a standard action.

That's why I made it an attack action, not a standard action, so yes. I thought my solution made it clear that whenever you use the spear, all the orbs can fire their own beams. Extra attacks, whatever.

Bat totem: The point of blindsight/sense is to penetrate non-darkness vision-blocks. Things like smoke, illusions, invisibility...

Bunny totem: Just want to be clear, that one is ALL Rith's fault. I didn't TOUCH the thing after he made it, I just put it up.

Beholder: Alright, I'll go fiddle.

Oh come on, it's freaking hilarious (not to mention awesome).

There you go with 'needs to be' and 'should be' again. Making the ability to be anything but (Ex) justs allows the DM to take it away from him if he wants. That's called neutering the player. That is something a bad DM does. Do you actually want to give a bad DM the ability to treat his party unfairly? Or would you rather not do that. Also, you still haven't given a good reason that ethereral jaunt is overpowered as an (Ex) ability.

Also, out of curiousity, why give the stronger vision form first?

Hound Totem
Okay, the Angels 'Evils Foe' ability. Awesome. Thumbs up. (Out of curiousity, why did you make that (Su)? It seems the least likely sort.)

Scent of Evil is really freaking cool. Awesome touch in regards to that. Seems like an odd choice to make Scent+ be a (Su) ability, but, Thumbs up.

Hunt. Woo, bonus feat and bonus to skill checks. Awesome. Thumbs up.

Okay, so, with this on top of Rage, you get +8 str, +4 con, +2 AC, +2 to will saves, and a natural bite attack? Didn't seem like a good capstone at first glance, but, turns out to actually be highly brutal. Thumbs up to the Hound totem.


Lantern Totem
Okay, Beholder Eye Lazors from the hands. Cool, also, instead of +cha, it just ignores DR. Badass. Thumbs up to that.

Then the +cha was added on. Interesting. So, this is seeming pretty similar to the Beholder totem, only with, instead of the awesome crit, getting 'you ignore DR'. Thumbs up so far.

Revealing Glow is a nice utility ability, for certain. Thumbs up.

Okay, wow. level 3, you get to double all your attacks. Taking a full round attack action results, at level 6, with 6 freaking attacks, with no penalty. That's too much. Especially considering that you can improve these attacks, and they can carry other effects, if you're clever.

Okay, so the capstone here is dispel magic at will? Lackluster much?


Trumpet Totem
Okay, you get a free mace and lesser bardic music. Awesome. Thumbs up.

Evil's Foe. Thumbs up.

Woo, Bard-barian! Lets take a closer look:
Enchanting is really good for getting through a room of guards. Just play it, and hey, they all stop and listen. Decent, considering the points on Fascinated that you pointed out. Thumbs up.
Inspiration is a lesser version of Moment of Prescience, seeing as it consumes a standard action and only lasts (presumably), one round, before it has to be used (might be good to say so). Thumbs up to it.
Terrfying song is Lion's Roar minus (assuming it consumes a standard action each round to continue playing), so, Thumbs up.
Steadfast Song is a defensive buff. Is cool. Keep in mind that this guy likely won't spend all his rounds bardic music-ing, cause he's a barbarian, he's got other stuff to do (like stabbing things in the face). Thumbs up.
Song of Mending is fast healing that actually has a combat use. It really boils down to the Hydra's 'fall back' healing, if the Bard-barian uses a standard action each round, which, with this boost, the others might just want him to do. Thumbs up.
Okay, Glory is a big all around boost, but only helps if his allies all are good-aligned, and none of them are even so much as neutral (it even penalizes the evil-aligned ones). So, while it is big, it's circumstantial enough (and the DC is high enough), that it'll earn a Thumbs up.
Whoa, okay, paralyzing song is overhwhelmingly powerful. Too good even with a DC 25 perform check required, and that's even if it actually harmed the barbarian himself. To make that more reasonable, you're likely gonna have to set that DC much higher (DC 45, or so).

Aura of Menace, eh? Fightful Prescense with a less aggressive sounding label on the tin. Good capstone, if it wasn't for the 'makes a successful attack against him' part, and the part that said 'creatures' instead of 'opponents', which makes this impact your allies as well.

Hound Totem
I thought Su was appropriate, since it's supposed to be divine.

Based off a spell, thought it was appropriate.

Too brutal?


Lantern Totem
However, the damage doesn't increase. It's 1d6 with each attack, period.

Well, it's like a backwards beholder totem, since the beholder get the damage all the time, and only gets better crit in range, whereas this is ignore DR at all times, and bonus damage only in rage.

How would you improve them beyond the dispel? They only use attack bonuses, so they're flat d6s, no damage mods. What other effects are you talking about?

Alright possible fix. Instead of with every attack, each orb only fires once.

I think dispel magic is a pretty good effect...


Trumpet Totem
One thing I wanted to point out was that these are at-will, but they do require skill checks.
Basically the bardsong.
Alright, I'll trow on a definite limiter before it must be used.
It's the same action a bard has to take to keep playing.
Ah, forgot the duration.
I'll take that.
I'm trying to base that one of the archon's own song. Recommendations?

Actually, it's straight out of the pan-archon abilities. I DID make the penalty scale, though.

Sword Archon is also up.
