[QUOTE="Quirken, post: 5104287, member: 88301"] Yesterday, my DM and a few friends played through a test fight with our ECL11 monster characters. I had a +4 level adjustment from the Shade template (from creatures of Faerun), and I immediately felt underpowered compared to my Kobold Half-Dragon cohort, who had a flame attack which pretty much 1 hit me. As a result, I've drafted up a prestige class based on the Shade template, but with no level adjustment. I've added a few extra perks since it spans 6 levels instead of 4, and want to know [B][I]whether this seems reasonably well balanced.[/I][/B] Hell, if you think the same thing in 5 levels would be fair, I'd like that too! In order to present this in a readable fashion, the class is in .PDF format, available here: [SIZE=4][B][URL="http://www.scribd.com/doc/27625098"]The Eclipse Shade Prestige Class[/URL][/B][/SIZE] I have two purposes for posting this here: 1) I want to share this new Prestige class. 2) I'd like feedback. I want this to be "balanced" such that my DM is likely to accept it. Please be as brutal as necessary. If something feels OP, tell me. If something seems like I could make it stronger and it would be fair, please tell me! Changes to template / Sources [LIST] [*]I removed the spell resistance bonus [*]I added +2 to a few skills, and overall +2 to attack [*]I added an ability called "Shade's Step" (idea borrowed from SoPM). [*]Added Shadow Pounce. [*]I borrowed a few ideas from here: [URL="http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Shadowdancer,_Tome_%283.5e_Prestige_Class%29"]http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Shadowdancer,_Tome_%283.5e_Prestige_Class%29[/URL] , namely I renamed the Shadow Stride to Slide, because that sounded cooler, and added a slightly weaker Shadow Strike. Instead of rolling a 1d6 and multiplying it by half your character level, you roll a # of dice equal to your sneak attack damage. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
