Bladelings are **** with zero racial support and bad racial stats. So yeah, they're the same.
I agree that the article didn't do much, if anything, to make Bladelings desirable to play, but what's wrong with Wis, Str/Dex?
I have a bias toward martial classes so that's probably why I don't see it (maybe?).

They don't do anything that some other race you've actually heard of doesn't do better.

They're the only race that will actually make use of the barbed quality. Which I imagine means that if someone's gotta be eaten by a purple worm, it's gonna be the bladeling.
Yeah, that's not really much of a niche at all, but it's there.

Which means the Worm isn't gonna eat the Bladeling, which makes them more useless. Yay?

Well, you could take a bunch of "take the hit" powers which force foes to attack you, I guess. Still, it's kind of sad when a race's big niche is "things that eat me get indigestion." Oh well, at least they're better than Shades, for whatever that's worth.
Honestly though, I might end up making a brawling fighter with one at some point, if only because Brawlers don't really need racial feats to do what they do well and the fact that some enemies are going to escape your grab at some point, whether through checks or via teleportation or something. At least you'll make it sting a little, I guess. Not saying that they'll be the ultimate grabbers or anything, but at the same time, it wouldn't be terrible either, I think.

Most hobgoblins with the shield feat are going to pick a barbed shield, since they can and don't suffer the skill penality anyway :P

Just got word back. They do not want me to release any content they're very already paid for, though I am free to homebrew any stuff I'd like, of course.

So... it's just going to sit in limbo unless and until they decide to publish it?

And, of course, they're never going to publish it. Welcome to how IP law destroys the commons.

What if we held a massive, online homebrew one-shot with herid as DM?
