    Anyway, added a set of rules for extracting blood from a bornura for those of evil inclinations. Anyone capable of extracting large amounts of blood will usually have better means of securing a couple thousand gold. Petty thugs can usually make a quick buck, though.

    I'm waiting another five or so days to finish up the Xintri before I even start thinking about the examples @_@

    IE the line in a feat that explains how the situation would work if you DIDN'T have the feat... see some of my Mepholk feats for examples.

    Aaaah okay. Tweaked Feats, added 1 or 2, 1 Epic Feat pending, and I think I may have the example NPC done.

    Pretty soon I may finally have time to peek at the competition :D

    Well, did the downtime actually keep anyone from working on their entries? I'm assuming most folks work on them and then post.

    Actually, and I hesitate to admit this, almost everything I've ever posted is improv. PrC's, classes, monsters, items, etc.

    I just sort of clean them up bit by bit later.

    Cause sometimes at 7 am you post something really kewl, and then wake up later and think OMG what was I on?

    Okay I may delete the Epic Perfect Multiweapon Fighting Feat. As I see it anything I do will either be pointless due to the attack penalty, or obscenely overpowered.

    With improved Multiweapon fighting they get 2 extra attacks with each offhand at -5

    With Greater they get 3 extra attacks, with the third at -10. Thats already 15 attacks at a to hit chance thats highly improbable.

    Personally I usually type my entries in the reply box and save the source code into notepad once in a while as a backup, especially if I don't do it all at once.

    Huh. Mix Gridolls with the latest entry, the Purples, thrown in some wings, and you have flying purple people eaters.

    I love the Purples. Its the kind of wicked idea I wish I had. Good job.

    EDIT: I'll post some more feedback later, namely on the wording of certain abilities.

    The Purples were inspired by a symbiotic race a friend of mine came up with, a species of intelligent lizards. Not lizard-men but little gecko things. The lizards were a very specific shade of green. Nothing else in the entire world was that shade of green. That shade of green was intelligent. Was going to be something halfway between a deity and a beneficial bacteria. Also some inspiration from second hand stories of various Swamp Thing comics.

    I'd love suggestions on ability names, might make changes myself. Might also enter multiple NPCs. While the Purple Emperor is probably a good Icon, I'd love to figure out a way to have a playable purple worm. Maybe druid leading into that monstrous beast prestige class from Dungeonscape could do it?

    Comment on down time: Editing time for many rounds of revisions (especially the ones after VTs personal feedback, which I haven't gotten yet.) is valuible to me... it is kinda hard to get feedback on stuff when you can't show a ledgable (IE non-raw forum code) version around. Which brings me to my next point...

    Have added racial history of Mepholk to their entry, as well as the section on their patron goddess (under religion) which delves into at least one area (the one in the spoiler) that I can only HOPE I explained clearly enough to avoid making people get weirded out that I qualify this as a good-aligned race/goddess... I have had one friend check it over, but they aren't the MOST reliable (because they understand me perhaps a little TOO well, and thus know what I MEAN).

    Edit: Have had enough people look at the moral side of things that I am now much more confident I wasn't totally out in left feild with the theoretical concepts I was working with and that I managed to communicate them reasonably clearly.

    Edit^2: It seems to me that unattached Purples would have a - for strength in many regards... they can't carry anything, I can't see them being grappled, and it seems like they could flow up most surfaces... just a thought...

    While - for strength seems good at first, it then means that they can't carry or wear any equipment. Also, while they do not have hands in their normal form, I still like the idea of a strength focused purple rolling over a gnome and pinning them to the ground. Having said that, I imagine strength will be a common dump stat. If this is done it opens them up to being strength drained / damaged and taken out pretty easily.

    Personally I would give them a -8 to the stat, make them immune to drain or damage to it, and call it a day...

    Also, has anyone gotten there review from VT? I can understand if he is overloaded with the forums popping back up and also that he would leave mine for last (since I have itchy editting fingers and tend to go for long entries), but I want to make sure nothing got misplaced somehow...
