[QUOTE="Dalamar, post: 3644732, member: 358"] Oo! I like the name modification to Dark Reaper, that does make it more generic. As to why the PrC doesn't require Greater Demoralize, that is because it isn't a first tier feat. If you require Greater Demoralize, you also "require" Improved Demoralize, meaning the PrC would require four feats to enter. That's just a tad too much to require compared to the other prerequisites, especially when only Weapon Focus can be acquired as a bonus feat when going from Fighter. A human non-fighter must dedicate all their feats to this so they can reach it by the minimum level, and a non-human non-Fighter would have to be 9th level before they could take their first level just so they can take the feats; a Fighter has a slightly easier time thanks to Weapon Focus being on their bonus feat list. Unnerving Presence clashing with Handle Animal as a skill I would look at the other way round: they have Handle Animal because otherwise the Reaper would have a hard time getting a mount they could ride. The flavor text I wrote along the same lines as the text for the PrCs from DMG, which suggest where one might run into them. I'll see about making it more appropriate. Overall, I'm not adverse to the suggested modifications, as some of the abilities were indeed more for padding out the progression so it could fill 10 levels. I think I'll try to do a full rewrite to take everything into account later today. [/QUOTE]
