I'm sorry, BillTheManiac, but I just can't seem to understand what you're trying to say. I know you're offering advice, and I'm grateful for it, but to my shame I just can't follow what it is you're actually saying.

Anyway, some rough 'concepts' of the Houses/Classes

Torturer of House Astyanath
Role: Striker/Defender
The Torturer is a sadistic and vicious demon, one who exults equally in his own suffering and the pain of others. It relies less on armor and more on powers that reduce damage, abundant healing surges and a plethora of HP. For offensive purposes, it specialises in blows and attacks that inflict agonising pain or extreme damage, crippling and maiming.

Warmonger of House Sturrach
Role: Leader
The Warmonger is a master in the lore of battle and an artificer of carnage. Bred to fight, the Warmonger specialises in reading the ebb and flow of any battle and directing its charges in response to this through a mixture of tactical lore and intimidation. When roused into the fight itself, it smashes into the foe like an engine of destruction, equally inspiring and frightening its allies and driving its enemies before it.

Seducer of House Riethii
Role: Leader/Controller
The Seducer's role is its mastery of emotions, its ability to manipulate others and guide them to deeds on its behalf. The Seducer inspires and enthuses its allies, driving fear and exhaustion from their minds and filling them with passionate fury and bloodlust. It also turns this attention on its enemies, sapping their minds and weakening their wills, manipulating them with its power so that they are like puppets dancing to the demon's strings.

Devourer of House Oblurott
Role: Defender
The Devourer's purpose in combat is defined by its powers. The Devourer cares not where or why; it cares only to eat the foe, or die. Devourers use their massive bulk to blockade their foes from the 'squishier' members of the party, then set about trying to crush and consume their enemies. The most proficient Devourers are almost unstoppable, literally eating their enemies alive and growing stronger with each meal.

Firestorm of House Zethu
Role: Controller/Striker
Schooled in the destructive arts of sorcery and gunnery, the Firestorm takes to both with excessive glee. The Firestorm is a ranged combatant, laying down swathes of fire and explosions that mangle all in their path, or adopts a 'one shot, one kill' mentality that means any target it singles out is a dead demon walking.

What classes, if any, could be brewed from the remaining houses I don't know, but do these class concepts have any potential to them?

Okay, I was typing a lengthy reply and realized I'd be better off just formatting something up for you. Gimme like 20 min and I'll post it.

A thousand times a thousand thank-yous! Looks great- though I don't quite understand how the set of racial powers work; are you saying that a Metallice needs to use the Multiclassing Feats to acquire them?

Either way, it looks truly remarkable; could I perhaps prevail upon you to try your hand at all of the Breeds?

Here's the Beast (renamed Beasteral).

The Beasteral

hmm. Easy enough. I didn't know that the beast was a caster though, with the stats and the other things it has going for it that makes little sense. Would you say it should be left as is and just make the two options with multiclass wizard and warlock? If, with all of the physical bonuses this race gets, it's still supposed to be a caster, you may want to update me with more information on the other races. Is the deceiver a starpact warlock type race? Or is it kind of a paladin for some reason? I'm just suddenly confused.

As to the Metallice, yes, I meant the artificer previewed in dragon and the warlord because they're similar classes. Just because he's an underdog doesn't mean he can't help to buff his allies. Also, if he were fighter, that'd make him tougher than most as opposed to an assistant
