I would like to please posit the following potential changes for RDD as a class, in the Epic Sacrifice category. Currently it occupies a Major Award, due to how strong the class is overall. This is, at base, a 5% chance to obtain from rolling a character.
1a) Please remove the CLASS pre-requisite for anybody who uses a Major Award for an RDD. If they choose this Award, as it is currently, it effectively locks them out of 2 of their 3 class slots.
- 1b) Potentially making a Major Award RDD an application class if 1a is accepted, to prevent a sudden spamming outpour of major awards for this choice.
- 1c) Failing this, perhaps expanding the list of classes someone could choose as the pre-requisite for RDD might be a good idea, given how wide the selection of classes is now. Being limited to 2 of... 11 BASE spellcasting capable classes, and 4 PrC casting capable/adjacent classes nowadays.
----------------------
2) Keep the secret Kobold RDD CLASS pre-requisite, so that it isn't possible to spam out such RDDs in the future
3) Potentially allow RDD, with a CLASS pre-requisite, as a Greater, similar to how Half-Giants occupy both Greater and Major award slots.
As it is currently, RDD could really use a little bit of love, to make it a little more attractive as a MAJOR award, compared to the other racial options which surround it.
