4E races equivalent?

• +2 bonus to attack rolls against Aberrations.

Any particular reason for this?

• Damage Resistance 3/Slashing: The Shardmind’s crystalline body makes it resistant to certain forms of attacks. This ability allows the Shardmind to ignore the first 3 points of damage dealt by slashing weapons. This is not effective against other forms of damage.

If they ONLY resist slashing, then it should be listed as 3/Bludgeoning and Piercing (i.e. bludgeoning and piercing can overcome their damage resistance). Personally, I would say 3/Bludgeoning makes more sense... they're a bunch of little rocks. While a mace might knock a few loose, a sword isn't going to do much, and an arrow even less.

• Vulnerability to Sonic Attacks: Shardminds, being composed of living crystal, are more vulnerable to sonic attacks than other creatures. They take 50% extra damage from such attacks.

I would include a specific vulnerability to the shatter spell... state that it effects them, just to make sure it's listed.

They are parts of a living gate that opposed the far realms, and I thought it would fit. If it doesn't I can take it out.

I was under the impression that if it had Damage Reduction 3/Bludgeoning and Piercing, than the weapon would have to deal both types of damage. I believe you are thinking of DR/ __ or __. Regardless, I'll change it to 3/Bludgeoning.

I'll add that in, too.

Arrrgh. Don't put it inside the quote box; makes you hard to respond to.

However, on the DR, you are correct. I like the new version.
