4E Does what Nintendon't (Race, PEACH)

[Mando Knight]

Shouldn't the spikes be a little less powerful? Maybe +3 and 1d4 damage?

I modeled them after the short sword, which is the best Military light blade... I wanted the character to have a reason to use them over daggers--rogues are the most likely class for the Hedgehog, and a +4, 1d4 dagger is better than a +3 1d4 natural weapon, but a +3, 1d6 enchantable natural weapon is almost equal.

Knux's spiky fists are best represented by a pair of spiked gauntlets, which give only a +2 bonus, but are enchantable in the hands slot...

[Alteran]

For the emeralds, you could give a level requirement to be able to use them. That way they can be found for the epic destiny, but you don't have high-paragon characters using them.

The second Power is not a Utility. Therefore, you'll have to change it. Maybe a +2 speed stance?

How about this?

You're Too Slow!
Daily * Stance
Minor Action Personal
Effect: You do not provoke attacks of opportunity from enemies with a lower Dexterity score than you.

Ah. That's what I get for making things at two in the morning... I'll put that in, actually.

Does anyone have comments about the new echidna build (the second one)?

[Mando Knight]

The second Echinda build is much better... although, as I recall, Knux could pull an immediate 180 in just about every game where you get to control his glide...

Also, the fall distance should be given in squares--that's the new distance standard. Thus, they fall 6 squares per round while gliding.

Also, I don't know if it's OP, but you may consider giving them Climb 3 as an additional base speed instead of a +5 to Athletics for climbing... Then they can climb vertical surfaces without Athletics checks, but can't shift or charge... and it's at the max climb rate anyway...

New Paragon feats:

Running Attack
Prerequisite: Hedgie
Benefit: You no longer take a -5 penalty to melee attacks after running.
Normal: You take a -5 penalty to all attacks after you run.

Running Charge
Prerequisite: Hedgie, Str 15, Dex 17, Running Attack
Benefit: You can move up to your run speed while charging.
Normal: You can only move up to your base speed while charging.

(The entire focus of all these is to reflect Sonic and Shadow's ability to run fast, then attack without taking much of a hit to their attack capabilities.)

[GreenEarthPFC]

Climb speed 3 sounds all right. As far as the gliding, I don't have much of an opinion. I always had trouble getting him to turn straight around, but it's been possible.

[Tempest Fennac]

I colud never turn him around that quickly either. Regarding gliding, 3.5 Phanatons could glide for 20 feet/round while "falling" for 5 feet/round if that helps (their ground movement was also 20 feet/round).

[GreenEarthPFC]

I made it so that you can only change direction while gliding once per round. I think that represents the limited mobility well enough without being a lamifier.

Also, if you've played the 2D's, it explains his lag time between right and left gliding.

[Mando Knight]

I've been throwing this about in my head for a bit... it's a new pact, based roughly on Shadow's capabilities (he might be a multiclass Rogue/Warlock...) and the Fey and Star pacts, with a few twists...

Warlock Class Feature:
Emerald Pact
Your fate has been inextricably linked to that of the Chaos Emeralds, ancient gems of near-infinite power. Due to exposure to the unique energies of the Emeralds, you have gained the ability to use that power... powerful energy blasts and time-warping movement are the signature of this pact.
Chaos Arrow: You get the Chaos Arrow at-will power (detailed below)
Emerald Step: You have the Emerald Step pact boon. Your link to the time-warping powers of the Chaos Emeralds allows you to move instantaneously towards your next target...
When an enemy under your Warlock's Curse is reduced to 0 hit points or fewer, you can immediately teleport up to 5 squares towards the enemy closest to you as a free action.

[Keltzon]

Hmm...I think we should look into this a bit further. One of my friends is completely obsessed with Sonic, and I would love to DM a sonic 4e for him.

Of course, that would mean coming up with stats for basically everything. I'm up for that XDD
