Hail Shield Wall!!!
I have been working on this for a while now (a pet project of mine), it is something i started back on the icrpg google+ page.
I thought I would throw it out and see what sticks to the Wall.
I am looking for some feed back, to see where i need to modify, remove or add to make this a fun, “playable” Bio-form/class. this is one in the same. it is the only way to make it work in my eyes.
so here we go.
Saiyans: bio-form and class
Across the galaxy there is a Warrior race known as Saiyans. Learning to harness the life energy (Ki), they reforge their own bodies through training and discipline, to become Deadly Warriors. Saiyan Warriors are masters of the martial arts. A Saiyan Warrior’s Ki infuses them with many abilities.
( for gameplay and balance these Saiyans don’t have tails. That might be to much for any DM to handle, but feel free to write up a Oozaru form. It could be fun.)
