[QUOTE="jollyninja, post: 88948, member: 3208"] i completley agree that the sword and fist prestige classes are pretty weak and could simply have been feat chains. except for the warmaster, but it is really campaign specific. at least the organizational aspect aka the whole point of the class is. the tempest (MotW) is however the worst offender, all it is is a bunch of bonus feats and two or three (don't have the book with me) class specific abilities that could just as easily have been feats. verry hard to get ones mind you but feats none the less. this class is munchkin to it's verry core. i want more feats, fewer prestige classes, let me customeise my character, not follow your possibly lame feat path. i usually only end up taking 3-4 levels in a prestige class because after that they become redundant (bonus of +1 to thing you got 3 levels ago) or no longer fit my character as well as it once did. as for martial arts styles, i hate them, they unbalance things. i like balance.
