BECOMING A STONESKINNED
How you would normally become a member of this prestige class.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Base Attack Bonus: +5
Skills: Jump 8 ranks
Special: Rage Pool class feature; Stoneskin rage ability
I'm not sure on jump as prereq I understand it's to imitate flying but once you gain the fly speed it become useless. Perhaps hide instead ? gargoyles can hide pretty well.

-snip skill-
nice list

-HD, Bab, save-
Fine.

Rage Pool: The Stoneskinned’s levels stack with his Barbarian levels for determining his barbarian level for rage abilities, his rage pool cap, and when he gets rage abilities. So, a Barbarian 5/Stoneskinned 6 gains a rage ability that level, and has 6 rage abilities in total.
Normal.

Damage Reduction (Ex): The Stoneskinned gains damage reduction 2/-- at first level, which increases by 2 every other level afterward (4/-- at level 3, 6/-- at level 5, and so on). Every point of damage reduce by damage reduction gains the Stoneskinned 1 rage point.
Make sense too.

Stoneskin (Ex): The Stoneskinned slowly becomes like those it emulates, the gargoyles, over his career. At first level the Stoneskinned’s skin hardens, granting him a natural armor bonus to his Armor Class equal to one half of his Stoneskinned levels (minimum 1).
Good but may end up counterproductive because, the higher your AC is the less often you take damage and your rage pool doesn't regenerate. But it's not a huge deal.

At fourth level, he gains claws made of stone. They deal 1d10 damage plus his strength modifier, and gain a bonus to attack and damage rolls equal to one half of his Stoneskinned levels (rounded down).
Why that much damage and not based on size ? The bonus on attack and damge is untyped ?

At seventh level, he gains wings, and gains a fly speed of 5 times his Stoneskinned levels in feet, with a maneuverability of average.
Fine.

At tenth level, he completes the full transformation. He becomes immune to poison and petrification. He gains the earth subtype, and a burrow speed of 20 feet per round. His claw attacks now deal 2d6 damage plus his strength modifier.
Gargoyles don't have a burrow speed why give one ? Note it's flavorfull so i have nothing against it but it's curious.

Stone Rage (Ex): Starting at level two, the Stoneskinned can activate his stone rage by spending rage points equal to one half his Stoneskinned levels, as a swift action. During his rage, the Stone Stoneskinned gains extra damage reduction (stacks with all other forms of damage reduction) of Constitution modifier/Adamantine. He also gains a +6 enhancement bonus to Constitution and Strength, as well as a +3 bonus to fortitude saves. It costs 1 rage point per round in order to maintain the stone rage, and the Stoneskinned is fatigued for 2d4 rounds after his rage ends. He cannot start a stone rage while he is fatigued.
Can you be in stone rage and standard rage at the same time ? (the str bonus don't stack but you get the str, dex and con that way plus the other bonus.) Not overporewerd but you need to say if it's possible.

Sever the Cord (Ex): Starting at sixth level, the Stoneskinned may, as a swift action, spend 4 rage points in order to have their next attack this turn deal 2d4 constitution damage, in addition to the normal damage.
Weird name. Fine otherwise.

Steelskin (Ex): Starting at level eight, by spending 6 rage points, the Stoneskinned gains hardness 30 for a number of rounds equal to his Constitution modifier. This ability may only be used 1 per encounter. Each point of damage negated by this ability adds one rage point to the Stoneskinned’s rage pool. If the Stoneskinned takes damage equal to his total hit points while this ability is in effect, he shatters, breaking into thousands of tiny fragments, and cannot be resurrected by normal means, only by a True Resurrection, Wish, or Miracle Spell.
30 seem like a lot, even adamantine only have 20. For the damage do you count only the damage dealt after applying the hardness or total ?

Granite Rage (Ex): The bonuses from Stone Rage become +8 enhancement bonus to Constitution and Strength, and a +4 bonus to fortitude saves.
Fine.

A nice Prc with an interesting flavor, a little more fluff on how you just transformed into a gargoyles might be nice but it's fine otherwise.
