Any suggestions?
I know salads are necessary for a balanced diet but negating hallowed and desecrated effects?
Knew i should have called them Sellics...
1) It's hard for me to comment since I know nothing about the race's lore, which is more important than their statistics in my opinion. I don't even know what they look like.
2) I really like Balanced Earth's hallow effect negation. It's interesting and unique. Though, the earth DC bonus seems out of place on it.
3) I have a big personal distaste for races that lack a racial penalty to an ability score. I know many have very vocal dislike for racial penalties. However, not only do I find them overpowered, but also it strikes me as lazy design. It's a missed opportunity to show your race's flaws, which can make them feel more interesting and believable.
4) The race is almost nothing but minor +1 bonuses and weapon proficiencies and weapon bonuses. While I think granting proficiencies is fine, I really dislike giving a race free damage and attack roll bonuses. Players should choose your race because it's flavorful and has interesting abilities, not because it's the perfect race to munchkin a build with.
5) Bombs are an alchemist class feature, not really a weapon you can purchase. You might want to say they get Splash Weapon Mastery or something instead.
6) Huge Build is a really powerful. Much more powerful than the abilities it replaces.
7) There's no such thing as a Reflex check.
