Talk:Locust (3.5e Class)

What it needs to be finished

This class needs descriptions of the other biots, and a spell list to be finished.

Also, should this class have both an as fighter BAB and an as wizard spell progression? That seems odd unless the spell list is nerfed... at which point it would make more sense for them to have an as bard progression.--Gruegirl 12:19, 28 December 2007 (MST)

Why not go over the top and give it all good saves, 8 + Int mod skill points per level, tower shield proficiency, and make every skill a class skill? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sledged (talk • contribs) 22:19, 28 December 2007 (MST). Please sign your posts.

Why don't you sign your posts Sledged. :-P But seriously this class needs a nerfing.--Gruegirl 00:26, 29 December 2007 (MST)

It's actually a cleric with better special abilities and full BAB. --Sam Kay 04:14, 29 December 2007 (MST)

Even so, that still makes it unbalanced... The cleric only has ONE special ability which is Turn/rebuke undead... Perhaps each biot should give -2 charisma... that may help balance it.--Gruegirl 15:08, 31 December 2007 (MST)

You do realize that we're talking about a permanent -14 to Charisma by 20th level, right? There's a pretty good chance that this'll turn people with this class into objects instead of creatures. And as I'm sure you know, anything without a Charisma score cannot have a Wisdom score; ergo, that renders the Locust useless as a class by that point. Hence, I'll take your advice to an extent: the Biots will each give -1 charisma.--67.68.58.153 21:17, 1 January 2008 (MST)

Has this been worked on at all since 2008? If not i'd like to do some finishing. Although i'll proablably not be touching all that spellcaster stuff much. But probably work on the rest so its alittle more. Well balanced. Cuz the way this thing is going its, to remove the needs of any spellcasters and fighters. So perhaps remove the spell casting and turn it into a Purger of his God. And if this has been dropped completly, would it be possible for me to take it over? :p Caim_Frostheart22.Januar 2011

That is fine, and I look forward to the revised version. --Green Dragon 11:58, 22 January 2011 (MST)

Change Ideas

The Locust has the spellcasting of a cleric, but combat power of a ranger. The spells per day should be reduced to the amount of a Ranger or Paladin. The rebuke undead ability is useless because of the Charisma penalties from the biots, and should be removed. <Enialis 22:48, 24 September 2011 (MDT)

I hadn't noticed this before, but the actual rules of the spellcasting aren't given. <Enialis 17:40, 26 September 2011 (MDT)
