My Site's still under construction, but you can go see it. The d20 page isn't up yet...

Edits: Improved the Tallven breath weapon prgression at Yakk's suggestion, included Tallven Breath DC, altered Dravon abilities so only one is random and you decide which one is.

Feats:

Prerequisites: Tallven, character level 4th or higher
Benefit: You may use your Tallven breath weapon an extra 2 times per day. You may take this feat multiple times.

Shape Breath
Prerequisites:Tallven, character level 4th or higher
Benefit: You may now use your tallven breath weapon as a line with twice the range of the cone. You may also shorten your breath weapon to a minimum of 10 feet in cone form and 20 feet in line form.

Improved Draconic Blood[Dravon]
Prerequisites: Dravon, must be taken at first level unless a sorcerer
Benefit: You gain two Draconic Remnants instead of just the one. You always get to choose the one gained by this feat. If you are a sorcerer, you may take this feat multiple times, each time gaining another draconic remnant.

[RTGoodman]

They seem pretty good to me. The one thing that stands out to me is that no one is going to want to play a race where half of their abilities (and at least one of their best ones) is randomly determined. I'd just model the Dravon on the Hellbred from FCII, where they get to pick one of the options in each category.

Also, for the Tallven, are there supposed to be any ability bonuses or penalties? I think most Small races automatically have a -2 Str (since changing size from Medium to Small gives a -2). If you don't want that, it's cool - I just thought I'd point it out.

[alchemyprime]

I wanted a small race without the -Str, +Dex pattern so many of them have. After a few more posts come up, I'll update the site with the article "Races of the Von: Dravon, Tallven, and Savron.

As for the Dravon, I was originally going to make it that if you chhose the bonuses, you roll the remnants and vice versa. Make it sort of a fun bit to mess around with.

[Yakk]

Breath weapon:
Reflex save for half, DC 10+con bonus+HD/2
1d4 + 1d4 at 3rd and every 3 HD after.
15' size, +5' at 7th, 13th and 19th HD.
1/day, +1/day at 5th, 11th and 17th HD.

I think that would mean it gets some upgrade every single level, even if just a DC boost.

Capping the damage progression is pointless. Character power is growing, why stop damage advancement?

Spell Like Ability I'm guessing. Standard Action?

Hmm.

Level 1: Line
Level 6: Cone or Line
Level 12: Move Action (!)
Level 18: Swift Action (!!)

But that might be adding too many tweaks. :)

[alchemyprime]

I'll keep it cone always, and I'll let them hold back the damage if they want, but as for the times per day... I was going to make that a feat. I'll edit the post and include the feats.

[alchemyprime]

Okay, I'm actually not going to officially publish these races in 3.5, as I will wait until 4e. So, if anyone is interested in the fluff, I will update the top post.

Also, any more peaching is welcome.
