Anyone know of a good digital sheet to gestalt on? I think most character sheets shy away from gestalt since it's houserules only, however I personally have found great luck with dyslexic sheets since you can select multiple classes at once and each class has a unique sheet for it. Can't do very much in the way of Archetypes though. A few classes have Archetypes but not all of them
With a very niche archetype they become d8's granted; this is one of the lesser point though. However i absolutely agree with your statement about items.
ok a few problems with your assumptions.
TL;DR your assumptions don't take into account how often you are likely to get everything just right to make this build work, and if you are dming and NOT moving your monsters around the board knowing full well that your rogue needs to stay put to get all his hits off, then you are doing it incorrectly. you have to utilize the same tactics your players use in an encounter, it is after all a tactical war game with RPG elements :)
Alot of the choices were made for flavor reasons not mechnical. I always pictured a human looking character that had the natural capability to take on dragon aspects (and perhaps later be able to shapeshift into a dragon) but still appear human. perhaps you are right about the energy immunity... come to think of it, i think that might be left over from the previous concept of it. I really just want this to be a whole race with variation appearing via the dragon type. as for the breath weapon i do have some racial feats that will help increase it as well as other abilities and taking on more aspects at a time. Also you can gain more uses as you level its not just "1/day"
Ok so I'm hoping I can get some constructive criticism on a homebrew race i have been working on. The idea behind it was to have a playable race that was dragon like in flavor. It's around 20 RP so its higher up on the playable level but I think it has enough to it to make it enjoyable without game breaking. what do you think?

I actually used bits and pieces for inspiration from that exact class. Specifically the extra damage from Death from Above and Hardy Landing. I didn't want to take the class whole hog though for setting reasons, and mostly used ideas from the D&D 3.5 Dragoon build since those feat don't have a pathfinder equivalent, and this seems specialized enough to call for fighter archetype since they get very little love
unfortunately google drive deleted the original document so you can find the updated one here I cannot edit the first post so you will have to follow this link. here
As was stated above, the effect says you can't be under the influence of a fly effect, it never states that you can't use them. an item such as celestial armor has a fly effect that you can use to get to the height but you cant be under the effect when you use the ability. As for feather fall, its ideal to use those effects to help minimize the fall damage at early levels since they don't make you fly or stop you from falling, just make the landing softer so to speak. That ability would be very useful to use with this class, however this archetype specializes in being able to jump very high, and deal lots of damage by falling on your enemies, so i want to utilize the acrobatics skill not make it useless.

Arise soul from forgotten times, return to the land of the living once more!
It is assumed to work in unison, snd I have changed it to make it clearer, also thank you for the grammar check, that could have been interpreted badly.
ok fixed the viewing problem, do you have any suggestions of what to buff up instead? i thought what i had was pretty good...
Although this wouldn't be a bad idea in theory, implementation is still a problem because DFA's extra damage comes from the force of the fall, and LttH still has the problem of overcome high jump DC's. The jumping charge=mounted charge isn't a bad idea but could be liable for mounted charge feat abuse if not worded properly... im going with just making the DC's lower for high jumps...
the spell list was added to the bottom of the document but i forgot to post a new link so here's the new one
i appreciate the input... these aren't bad ideas and you make a valid point with the spell thing. in the forgotten realms setting for 3.0 there was an item called the spear of vaulting that gave a +30 bonus on jump checks. Perhaps i could do something like that.
honestly im not entirely sure how, without overpowering the abilities. Its suppose to scale with level allowing you to make the jump DC's more and more the higher you go in the class but i agree the high jump DC's are brutal... makes me consider either allowing class level as a bonus on jump checks instead of 1/2 level, or allow them to treat the DC's at half the normal range. that would put a 10 ft. jump at a DC of 20 instead of the near impossible 40... idk what do you think?
the CHA to INT has been suggested before, but personally im a fan of the original warmage. the purpose of the multiple ability dependency is to curb power play, and the warmage is a spontaneous caster. im actually just considering getting rid of the arcane pool and giving them arcane strike as a feat
combining the swift action at level 19. you don't gain access to sudden quicken until then
i suppose that the swift action taken to apply the metamagic feat also casts the spell so the only effect that would apply to sudden quicken would be its use without increase to spell level. Which is powerful enough by itself.
so any other ideas
What document? Did you post a link describing the fluff for your race? Or do you mean the Advanced Race Guide?
that sounds like a liable option. i might just do that. Well, if you have magical flight powers, you can just let gravity take you anyway. You're not forced to fly. but that's the thing, you cant be under the influence its not to say you cant use the spell to get to the appropriate height but the spell cant be activated when you use the ability...
That was stated before and i have excepted that. Linguist is a staple of most uncommon races and isn't that beneficial since you need a high enough Intelligence in order to make use of it. Did you even bother reading the actual document or are you just going off the racial point sheet because honestly i used the racial stats that were given as a base and tweeked them. Granted i did see a problem with flight lasting for an hour and fixed it but the fact is that it is still not the same flight that is in the original book. so for future commentors i ask only this: READ THE DOCUMENT FIRST AND CRITQUE MECHANIC ISSUES FIRST AND THEN PERSONAL OPINIONS!!!
I can see where you're coming from. Any ideas on how to add that extra "oomph" to powerful lunge? what I meant by the precision bit was simply that you can crit on it and multiply damage because you cant control the force behand the blow... where as with a normal weapon or even power attack you can, but ill add that last phrase just to clear any confusion
I'm trying to steer clear from dip abuse as well a single ability dependency which is why i made the bonus stack with level, also flavor wise it represents training the body to jump higher and higher. With powerful lunge you're forgetting that it is intended to work with "Death From Above" which is already giving you additional damage. on another note alot of these class features were actually rewritten feats that often were used in dragoon builds for 3.5. Speaking of "Death From Above" the levitate and fly bit were more on limiting the power of this ability, I mean thematically you are dropping from an extreme height using gravity as your aid. Gravity doesn't effect you the same way using levitate or fly spells. The 30 ft. bit is more of a cap off so that there isn't any "I drop from a 100 ft. cliff" abuse and i see the extra damage as like something similar to precision damage like a sneak attack... again you are using gravity as an aid and the extra damage could be seen as a transference of kinetic energy.
the original Warmage edge only allowed up to your Int bonus, which most people didnt put very much into causing this to be a static bonus... its still keyed off Int but is much less static this way and is more useful in later levels.the point of the warmage was to do massive amount of damage with his spells (which is a very limited spell list...maybe i should add the spell list into the document). Arcane pool was just an option i thought of in place of giving him Arcane Strike as a bonus feat, but perhaps that would be the better option. As for spell focus again the point of the warmage is to be really good at casting evocations to deal lots of damage so stacking with the feats is kinda the point... most people wont spend the resources on the feat if they get it for free anyway. Perception is a main staple in almost every pathfinder class, not to mention the most useful. he can benefit greatly from the perception for his longer ranged spells.
so im bringing this thread back to life after some heavy editing to the above race. you can find that here . in case anyone was wondering, i've gotten the racial points down to 29 and this is everything ive done.
