Talk:Lupus (5e Race)
alright, Acerbatus here. I changed up ferocity to be a self buff rather than an execute mechanic and made it so Pure Bloods no longer add their spell mod to damage and made it more of a spell blade esque ability. I also reduced the base movement of the race and made it so only mixed bloods gain access to a speed increase as well as natural weapons. I also added some more story to the race to better explain the lore differences to pure or mixed bloods and broke the RWH table into two seperate tables to accommodate for the two Subraces.
- These are good improvements, I added a few things you missed. However, Ferocity should be worded like the aasimar's transformations and that state should ideally take a bonus action and only be available at 3rd level to avoid early abuse. The exhaustion should also be removed. As for the spellblade, making it so that when you cast a spell, you can make one melee weapon attack as a bonus action, long rest recharge. Wolf's Body should use the tabaxi's natural weapon wording. Overall this is still a good deal stronger than other races produced by the first party and should be cut down. Normally people do this by defining a major trait and then creating a few minors traits around other aspects of the race. —ConcealedLight (talk) 14:23, 28 January 2019 (MST)
- Alright Acerbatus here again, I used the tabaxi wording for both the Wolf's Swiftness and Wolf's Body traits for mixed bloods, reworked Spell blade to be as what you said because I did like that melee bonus action attack idea. I also made ferocity like you said as well because I liked that too.
- I saw, I've tweaked some things but it should be balanced and good to go, albeit on the strong side though. —ConcealedLight (talk) 15:25, 28 January 2019 (MST)

Hi there, Acerbatus here, I was under the impression that the race was available to play as I and Concealedlight had gone back and forth balancing and rewording the page, and looking at this page's history; apparently someone didnt like the needs balance tag and honestly im kind of touched haha. I would like the race to have the needs balance tag removed, as I and concealedlight had come to an agreement that while strong, the race is playable without being overtly busted. Maybe ill work on Ferocity wording in the meantime.
