is it correct and is it balanced enough?


Please do not take offense, but I do believe this character would be quite overpowered if played alongside existing characters.

Lini's animal ally ability is one of the most useful, if not explosive, character powers in the game. Giving this same power to someone who can carry 3 weapons AND is proficient with them, AND has +2 Ranged... I don't see a single combat scenario where this character could lose, frankly. Even with a simple dagger and an animal, you would be rolling (1d10 +2d4 +2) which averages to 12.5, before any skill bonuses.

And I'm also not a fan of characters with no obvious weaknesses. No d4s? Yes the total die value comes out the same but the lack of that 1 bad stat makes this version too well rounded, and in my opinion invulnerable.

Sajan is the only character without a d4 in the base characters, and for me this makes sense and is OK because he's a monk. He's all about balance and control.

In an attempt to be constructive I'll make a couple suggestions:

It looks like you're trying to make a Harsk/Lini hybrid, based on your class name. So I'd move your d10 to WIS (like Lini) and your d8 to DEX (like Harsk) Divine should probably be +1 like Lini. I feel STR should be the weakness at d4, but a case could be made for INT (neither rangers nor druids are necessarily BOOK SMART, but I wouldn't consider them DUNCES either) And Gnomes are generally hardy, so I would take CON to d8 or perhaps give Fortitude+2.

And then on the role card... looks almost exactly like one of Lini's. But where is the 2nd ROLE?


True, i wil make it less op. I can make the second rol card just so its there. But i won't change much to it. As for the constitution i like charisma more. so that wil be a d6 for constitution and charisma wil be the d8. thanks for the help.
