I like it! +2Str and Con makes a lot of sense- most would put negatives to those stats because of a real world mole's small size! But it's proportions that make all the difference.
The attack from below and one with earth abilities are both frightening when you consider their gameplay implications, exciting when you think of all thew options available, and delightfully true to real world mole hunting tactics. D:

I totally give this my stamp of approval, and look forward to playing it! (If anybody'll run a furry DnD 4th ed game. >D)

Any burrowing creature would have to be strong, and constitution just seemed to make sense with them digging all the time.

The attack from below might be over powered is the problem. But stylisticly it works so well. I think the smaller movement limits it a bit, as does the soft soil limits (Although you could change that with further feats and spells and stuff).

Limiting it to the claws and a standard attack rally limits the damage output though. The only other limit might be to put a time limit on the time they can stay under the soil (If your dm is rejecting it) or upping it to a daily power.

Glad you enjoy it.
I'll be putting a mole character in my campaign as a tribute to you :D

Ugh! >D I wish I could play. How much do tickets to Australia cost these days?

Lots :P
But webcams are cheap!

Playing DnD by webcam? You intrigue me, sir.

It is kind of difficult. But basically you set up a webcam, speakers and microphone at the game, and the other person has a pc and microphone as well.

Probably not as fun though.

Heh.. Definitely not. You'd have to pass the microphone around so I could keep up with everything.

Mole people are very interesting as a race. What short of history and culture do there have. Is there a huge-ass mole king? Or maybe a mole president, or a mole Pope. Are there ancient mole cities?
