Hehe, not at all. I create new classes and races all the time. Such as the Hylian Acolyte, which is in another thread, and I helped Geohound with his FlameCaller.

Theres also a PrC set called the Tainted, which I have yet to post, and then the Avarial/Myotar/Elven Hybrid section I posted also.

Great class concepts! The aura is too powerful, since it affects ALL their rolls the penalty should only be -1. The bane of evil and bane of good are also too powerful. They should be dropped down to +1d6, then +2d6 at the higher level. Other than that I don't have any other constructive criticism. The Holy Mage would mesh really well with the Holy Scourge prestige class, which I think is from Complete Arcane, or maybe Complete Mage. Well done! smile
