I wanted to recreate the electric flinging Pokemon for pathfinder, I had done it for DND3.5 but things changed greatly for pathfinder. I think it was too much change for the breath weapons. Also It does not state clearly if the breath weapons will LEVEL up with class levels or if it remains at 1D6. If it remains at only 1d6 then I feel the breath weapon is WAY too underpowered. Yet it is only 1 race point so maybe not so bad for its cost. Also it was not clear as to how the points for its repeating cost, Does it start off at 1, then 2, then 3, then 4, and finally 5 since your unable to get more than 5 per racial trait block?
Key points I wanted for this Race;

According to the book it looks like this is considered a Class level adjustment of Four(4), and it makes sense to me that it is that high.
Is this balanced?
What would you have done instead of what I did?
Do I understand breath weapon?
And above all Does the breath weapon level up with the class level?
If so how does it level up at what level will the damage dice go from one(1) to then next higher?
Do what I do, Use shocker lizards.
Do what I do, Use shocker lizards.
I have to use the advanced player guide to make the race. If your able to do it with a shocker lizard and produce something like what i have please show me how you would go aboot it so that i can write it up and use if for my next character. My current one is a race I made based off the Fanali tribe from "Magi, The labyrinth of magic" Aka Morgiana, my version is 28 race points and she is very strong and a class adjustment of 3.
