Talk:Innate Bender (3.5e Race)

Comments

Almost all Benders in the source material seem to get their bending abilities innately rather than learning them. It's not totally clear here if these Innate Benders are a kind of child humans can have, or actually a distinct species in their own right. You mention that Innate Firebenders almost always worship Pelor, which implies either that Innate Firebenders share a single civilization or that Pelor goes down and pesters the ones that haven't heard of him yet. Similarly, do Innate Waterbenders learn Aquan from dream conversations or something?

I know the form doesn't really ask for it, but I think an explanation of the history of how Innate Benders came to be could prove interesting.

Connected Bender is a tricky one, because an Innate Bender can be a single-classed rogue or something and stack up damage bonuses that way. Adding bending level bonuses to damage as well might push the character over the top. --Foxwarrior (talk) 02:37, 1 January 2017 (MST)

I usually like to stick history and myth at the top (after Innate Bender, before Personality) myself. Anyway, what Fox said. -- Eiji-kun (talk) 02:54, 1 January 2017 (MST)

Thanks for the fast feedback guys. I have made a number of changes, feedback on these changes is appreciated:

• Changed the flavour text and added a bit of a quick history of the cause of the existance of the Innate Benders
• Changed the religion section (Pelor was only used because of his connection to the sun that is now more flexible)
• Added the gaining of the additional elemental language as a bonus racial ability that is only gained at intelligence 10 or higher
• The bend that is available from this class is now a non damaging one only and it is based on HD for level
• Connected Bending now offers a martial adept style scaling level benefit.
