[QUOTE="Technik4, post: 1071481, member: 7211"] Thanks for the response! The only thing that overlaps besides Favored Enemy is Swift Tracker, and it is gained at an equivelant level (so a Rgr8 and a Rgr5/ByH3 both have it). Everything else is actually different stuff, although Trackless Step overlaps with a low-level druid and Fast Movement overlaps (and stacks with) the barbarian ability. I think I see what you are getting at, since the druid levels stack with bounty hunter levels for tracking someone, and the fast movement stacks with the barb ability, but the swift tracking doesnt. At any rate, Trackless Step allowing a Rgr5/ByH1 to track a drd20 is somewhat intentional. Now once she has ascertained where said druid is, she may decide to take some gold for her services and run away rather than pursue, but part of the prc is being able to track anything. Of course, it is not until higher levels that the bounty hunter can track magical sources, and even then it is not very precise. A drd20 who is aware of prcs like bounty hunter could use Pass Without Trace or just wildshape into a natural animal to avoid being tracked, it was just an extreme example. I don't see a problem with this really, any further discussion? Spell-casting DCs is interesting, but I think that would be a seperate prc. This one grants no spellcasting in and of itself (deterring characters who want to see 9th level spells one day) and is suitable for any character wanting a "fighter-type" class without spellcasting but with a big chip on their shoulder. I was also thinking of adding 1 more requirement, since both skills are rather low in terms of cost (although only the ranger has both skills on his class list and he gets Track for free!). Any suggestions? I was thinking maybe Improved Initiative but maybe one of the new 3.5 feats applies better. Technik [/QUOTE]
