The Orc's page

So far I have two issues with the system and its only in the format:

1) I am color-blind, so the current method for denoting rarity is completely lost to me. As the regular DM for my group, this is fairly problematic.

2) Overuse of common words can cause confusion, i.e. Spell, Trait, and Feat.

a) Spell is used for spells, powers, spell points to activate powers.

b) Trait is used for items, powers, and spells. The issue for me is that if it doesn't add extra to the rules, it should be labeled as something else like keywords. examples: Deadly trait for weapons increases the weapons total damage on a critical hit; Orc trait doesn't add rules to the overall weapon thus it could be a keyword; or Heritage trait for ancestry feat says it must be taken at 1st level, but this doesn't change the way the feat functions.

c)Types of feats: Class, Ancestry, Skill, General (non-skill) and then the Archetype/Multiclass feats. All are taking at different levels and this just feels a little clunky and makes the Class tables overpopulated with commonalities.

I think you could honestly get away with one class table (I made a table but it wouldn't show up lol)

In the APG the section on mounts reads that they get a horse or camel which is treated like the druid animal companion. But in KIS, there is a rule in which a character with the Leadership feat can gain a unique animal mount, such as a griffon, unicorn, blink dog, etc., as a cohort. How does this work for the cavalier?

I know my gaming groups (3 groups of 6+ players lol)are alwasy looking for new uses for all skils. Any way one may be in the works? or does anyone know of a few 3rd party books build around skills?

So, I've read the rule on inteligent item creation over and over, I understand the was to price them and find out the item's ego... but I can't figure out the caster level of such an item or the caster level need to craft it?
