If you have an Outsider or Dragon 4hd , with an LA +3
you start to get out of any normal build approach.
Skills have dropped below a 6+Int class.
BAB is below a medium class.
Caster levels are nearing out of the money.

That racial class has to be really something, to make this worthwhile.


But then yeah, balancing it as a racial goodies dump, like what Lyca + TML say.
Treat it like one of those acquirable templates, that you don't have to take consecutively.

Talking to Gawain, we figured out that it should probably look something like this:

Thunder Child template (Advanced Bestiary)

LA +1
Dex +2, Int +2, air breather, Auran language known, racial HD change, +1 dodge bonus, electric grapple, SLA 3/day (fog cloud), resist cold 5, +4 racial to Knowledge (nature) and Survival, Quick Draw feat

LA +2
Double speed, +2 dodge bonus, electric aura, electricity, SLA 3/day (gaseous form), cloud sight, resist cold 10, breath weapon 1d4 electricity, Improved Initiative feat

LA +3
Dex +2, Wis +2, +1 dodge bonus, breath weapon 1d6 electricity, SLA 3/day (sound burst), immunities, lightning jump, Lightning Reflexes feat, elemental type (air, extraplanar subtype)

The PC will allowed to take a "level" and buy it off when she earns enough xp.
I reject your reality, and substitute my own.
