Author Notes

It playable, I add some more gifts and fluff when I have times. For now this article is deemed playable by the author, I. Oh and please discuss any mechanical change on this page, or anything really. --Dio Magellan 06:45, December 15, 2009 (UTC)

Fly Speed

What is the Yelkoven's fly speed when aquiring the air subtype? --Franken Kesey 20:04, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

It seems that the author does not habitat this site, therefore would a fly speed of 15' with good maneuverability sound reasonable? --Franken Kesey 20:48, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

Comments

A more detailed portrayal might help me in describing them to other players - a picture might even be better. If you are not an artist deviantart may be a good start. --Franken Kesey 02:59, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

Adoption

Would like to request approval for adoption. --Franken Kesey 22:41, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Reposting request. --Franken Kesey (talk) 06:10, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
I missed this somehow, thanks for alerting me to it on my talk. No complaints from me, or anyone else in the community it seems. - Tarkisflux Talk 21:56, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Tunneling

I don't see how a burrow speed, even only a burrow speed of 5, is admissible for a LA 0 race. Burrow allows you to dive under the ground, giving total cover as part of a 5 foot step. I realize this isn't the only LA 0 race on this wiki to give a burrow speed, so maybe I'm missing something and burrow isn't as powerful as I think it is. Either way, I would really appreciate a explanation for how this is appropriate for a first level character. --TheDarkWad (talk) 01:19, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

I can't speak for the race (haven't studied it) but burrowing at 5 ft should be fine. Burrowing is limited by terrain. You can only burrow in loose soil, sand, gravel, and the like. Stone, wood, and most worked or hard materials block it unless said otherwise, so if you're in a city or on a rocky mountain or similar you're out of luck. The stronger form, Earth Glide, permits rock-movement. -- Eiji-kun (talk) 02:31, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
I'm aware that burrow is limited by terrain. The problem is that if you do happen to be in this environment, burrow is practically better than flight (burrow blocks line of effect) and enemies rarely have any counter. In this context, burrow seems to be essentially an "I win" button, especially at level 3, when this race gives 10 foot burrow speed. A situational "I win" button is still an "I win" button and thus pretty bad for balance. Dirt and sand show up frequently enough that in many campaigns it isn't even really situational. --TheDarkWad (talk) 03:03, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
