One of my players is interested in playing a class focused on poisons, but was concerned about low poison DC's. I came up with this class and was hoping to get some feedback for it. Any and all comments and suggestions are welcome. This is the first class I've ever made, so I'm sure it's not as good as it could be.

The concept was essentially to make a class that has cheap and easy access to poisons that actually stand a chance of effecting opponents. It's intended to be sort of a debuff class. The wording of the Poison Craft ability is a bit clunky, I know, but I'm not sure how to re-word it to make it better. Also, I don't particularly like the name Poisoner, so any alternative names for the class would be welcome. Thanks!

Thanks for the quick replies! That makes sense. I guess I'll have to figure out another way to communicate in cat form.

So the campaign is going great and I love playing my Tibbit! But last night another question came up that hadn't come up before. In cat form, can tibbits still speak all their normal languages or are they limited to Feline? My DM has said that unless I can get an official answer, then he's ruling that tibbits are incapable of reproducing any language other than Feline while in cat form.

Thanks for the reply! That all makes sense, except for the strength stuff. That still doesn't make sense to me but I suppose I can live with it. My DM was also inclined to disallow the healing thing but he wanted me to ask for a second opinion. I can live with that too. The skill bonuses outweigh that stuff in my opinion.

Overall I think this is a great race! I've loved playing it so far. Again, I appreciate the response!

Well my group finally retired our old campaign, giving me the opportunity to play the one race I've wanted to play since getting the Dragon Compendium: the Tibbit! Of course, only a few games into it and my DM and I have some questions that we're hoping you all can help us answer.

Nobody in my group has ever played a shapechanger so I appologize in advance if some of these questions are stupid.

1. What kind of ability is the humanoid/cat transformation? Spell-like? Supernatural? Is it even classified?

2. Can the transformation be suppressed in any way (i.e. does it function in an anti-magic field)?

3. If the transformation functions as per the Polymorph spell, does that mean that transforming causes the tibbit to regain lost hit points as if it had rested for a night?

4. Is the -8 Str in cat form in addition to the normal -2 Str (-10 Str total in cat form)? That doesn't seem right to me. A normal cat's physical racial adjustments are only -8 Str, +4 Dex but it appears as if a tibbit cat's adjustments are -10 Str, +4 Dex. Are tibbit cats more weak than normal cats? Please tell me this is just a misprint...

5. In cat form, is the tibbit just like a normal cat? In other words, cats have a number of skill bonuses, as well as Weapon Finesse as a bonus feat. Do tibbits gain these bonuses while in cat form?

6. Here's a silly question that my DM is making me ask. Do tibbits in humanoid form give off any sort of "cat aura" or scent? Specifically he wants to know if dogs would have any sort of hostile reaction to a tibbit who is in humanoid form (i.e. would the dog be able to recognize the tibbit as a cat-like creature). Like I said, silly huh?

That's all for now. Any answers you all can provide would be greatly appreciated!
