As it stands, Chimera are a race given many parts that don't quite make a whole equal to other races. Only three of their acquired traits can be deemed useful. And even then, they're situational at best save the mild poison infliction. Argent bite, petrification gaze, and starlight gaze.
This doesn't really reflect their IC all too well. They aren't very scary mechanically. Even a Corbie is more frightening with passives like Stay Afloat. Tackling the
first of many abilities that aren't particularly useful, I will be addressing the Shark Fangs. A passive acquired by eating a shark.
"Enhanced, sharper teeth help the Chimera eat their foes. Gain Shark racial type. +5 Water ATK. Consuming remains no longer uses physical stamina."
+5 water ATK is nice. Kind of. But it needs more. I believe that it should give the Chimera a skill called "Shark Bite", an autohitting attack with the same scaling as Argent Bite. 3 momentum. Inflicts level 10 Wear Down, with the potential of level 15 if done from behind or the enemy is grappled or restrained. Level 20 if done from behind AND the enemy is grappled or restrained. Similar to weapon potentials, but with much more requirements.
