My DM and I are working on a playable sphinx race+class. They said it's meant to be a bit on the powerful side.

if not, I can just c/p my prior comments xD

doesnt look it

#

it's almost an 80% caster, but all the levels are fucked

you also don't have a spell book - but you have a spellbook (that you need)

recharging isnt really a player facing rule. (I'm arguably fine with it, but it'd need to be carefully done)

DB: 104

ASI 12
"doesnt age" +1
1ft unrestricted flight at 5th, 40ft unrestricted flight at 11th +28
Psychic Immunity +8
Immune to sensing/read thoughts/divination +8 (maybe more)
Forced disad on roll +4
Magic 2d4/6/8/10 unarmed strike +12
DV120 +4
Nat Armour 13/15/17+Dex +12
Delayed +2/-2 ASI x3 w/ score over 20 +12
Large at 5th +3

"On the more powerful side" would be like, 40db.

If they want to do an 80% caster, it should look like dis for reference.

My recc, to "fixing" it, would make it a Sorcerer base - look to Dragon Sorc for progression with flight.
Try and match the rough power level of each levels features.
If wanting the "riddle" stuff, replace metamagic, and use sorc points for spell-like abilities, that use spell levels and construction for balancing.

The reasoning behind the weird casting it seems was to match the scaling of the actual monster.
