Mages already have the vorish spells they can call upon, pretty much giving them free 'super nom' ability on top of those spells seems a little over the top to me. I honestly didn't know too much about the magic system, but it was explained to me that this is the level where spells start getting silly anyway. The equalizer seemed to be that, without the use of spells, spellcasters had less chance of just outright overpowering and nomming someone. Now, that weakness is taken away, making things like clerics and stuff 'the way to go' as far as characters go. "Oh, I can nom people as good as the fighter and I'm weak as a twig, AND heal myself, AND blast everything around me with magic, AND buff myself...hah, poor fighter."

This is another buff to casters that I hadn't even realized was there, and switching it back will go a long way toward shifting the perceived balance away from casters, as this way more martial classes will have a significantly higher base bonus (+5 most times at level 10), but casters will have spells and whatnot to even it out.</div></blockquote><br/><br/>I hadn't paid attention to level being in the check being a buff to spellcasters either.  I agree that changing that over to BAB would be wise (as it does help balance out spells to bonus), but casters being able to use their main attribute for vore seems perfectly fine to me.  it means that they're not almost entirely helpless in that regard without spells, especially since the struggle bonus is the same as the swallow bonus; if they didn't even get that bonus they'd not only be bad predators without using some of their spells but also be<span style="font-weight: bold">extremely</span>easy prey.
