I fail to see why we should stop homebrewing (or slow down at least) simply because you say so? Considering the number of people that make monster classes, you're always going to have a large number to get through. Having one or two more isn't gonna do that much harm IMO.

But alas, you're grand poobah of the thread, I'll slow down with the classes in future.

@Winged:
I'll move the nat armour wording to before the HD-relevant stuff.

Frankly, if you already have a fly speed, you're not going to want to waste a level to get it improved a bit and a couple of slam attacks. Maybe the slam attacks, but even then there's better stuff out there to do exactly what you suggested and for much less than a level.

@Feral:
I'll switch around the abilities so it's more top-heavy. And yeah, I'll add the wording on the rend ability. I was i ntending to make it like a critical in all ways (precision, adidng multipliers, etc) so as to make it a little more powerful but maintaing a relative balance (since it's precision).

@Elder Treant:
As I said, I was just posting what I had in the old thread.
