to combat larger constructs though these same tactics can be used against living creatures.

Whenever the colossus slayer is attempting a grapple or is being grappled his opponent’s size bonus is reduced by two sizes. So a gargantuan sized creature only has the size bonus for a large creature, a colossal sized creature has the size bonus for a huge creature, and so on. The size bonus can only be negated through this ability.

Once per day when a critical hit is scored, the colossus slayer can choose to inflict additional ability damage to his opponent. The colossus slayer can choose which physical score can be reduced by 2d6 whether it is Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution.

[QUOTE="dyspro, post: 4847486, member: 44458"] I was looking around some of the older threads here and I came across one that intrigued me enough to actually work on it. Phantom Llama originally posted a request for a prestige class 9/17/2006. My first attempt at an epic prestige class. Comments appreciated. Is it EPIC enough? [FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=3][COLOR=white]Colossus Slayer<O:p</O:p[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=3][COLOR=white]Off in the distance, the sounds of thunder can be heard, but there are no clouds in the sky. The ground shakes fervently as the enormous stone construct lumbers toward the village. People scatter for their lives, hoping to escape the notice of the immense monster. However, one person stands still waiting for the creature’s approach. His resolve is firm. There is no fear in his eyes or his heart, for he has defeated many of these before and today will be no different. He is the colossus slayer.<O:p</O:p[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=3][COLOR=white]Hit Die: d10[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=3][COLOR=white]Requirements<O:p</O:p[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=3][COLOR=white]To qualify to be a colossus slayer, a character must fulfill the following criteria.<O:p</O:p[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=3][COLOR=white]Base Attack Bonus: +35<O:p</O:p[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=3][COLOR=white]Skills: Climb 40 ranks<O:p</O:p[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=3][COLOR=white]Feats: Clever Wrestler <SUP>CW</SUP>, Giantbane <SUP>CW</SUP>, Improved Critical<O:p</O:p[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=3][COLOR=white]Epic Feats: Legendary Wrestler[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=3][COLOR=white]<O:p</O:p[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS]<O:p</O:p[/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=3][COLOR=white]Class Skills<O:p</O:p[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=3][COLOR=white]The colossus slayer’s class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Balance (Dex), Climb (Str), Intimidate (Cha), Jump (Str), Tumble (Dex)<O:p</O:p[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=3][COLOR=white]Skill Points at each level: 3 + intelligence modifier<O:p</O:p[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS]<O:p</O:p[/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=3][COLOR=white]Class Features<O:p</O:p[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=3][COLOR=white]All of these features were designed to combat larger constructs though these same tactics can be used against living creatures. However for any of these tactics to work, the opponent must be at least three size categories larger than the user. So a medium sized humanoid can only use these tactics against opponents that are at least gargantuan in size.<O:p</O:p[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [SIZE=3][COLOR=white][B][FONT=Trebuchet MS]Leverage (Ex)[/FONT][/B][FONT=Trebuchet MS]: The colossus slayer begins with the ability to effectively take away size advantages from his enemies. Whenever the colossus slayer is attempting a grapple or is being grappled his opponent’s size bonus is reduced by two sizes. So a gargantuan sized creature only has the size bonus for a large creature, a colossal sized creature has the size bonus for a huge creature, and so on. The size bonus can only be negated through this ability. Leverage can only even the playing field.<O:p</O:p[/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=3][COLOR=white]For every two levels thereafter, the size bonus is reduced by another one. So at the third level of the prestige class for a medium sized character, the gargantuan sized creature only has the size bonus for a medium creature and is thus effectively negated. A fifth level medium colossus slayer can negate the size bonus of a colossal creature.<O:p</O:p[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [SIZE=3][COLOR=white][B][FONT=Trebuchet MS]Debilitating Strike (Ex)[/FONT][/B][FONT=Trebuchet MS]: The colossus slayer is able to weaken his opponent through the use of this ability first gained at second level. Once per day when a critical hit is scored, the colossus slayer can choose to inflict additional ability damage to his opponent. The colossus slayer can choose which physical score can be reduced by 2d6 whether it is Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution. Opponents immune to critical hits are not affected by this ability.<O:p</O:p[/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][COLOR=white][B][FONT=Trebuchet MS]Combat Advantage (Ex)[/FONT][/B][FONT=Trebuchet MS]: At his fourth level of colossus slayer, he is better able to land attacks on larger foes due to his ability to effectively climb aboard and harass his opponent. For every three ranks he has in the Climb skill, he gains a +1 competence bonus to hit. This bonus increases to +1 to hit for every two ranks he has in the Climb skill at the eighth level.<O:p</O:p[/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE] [FONT=Trebuchet MS]<O:p</O:p[/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=3][COLOR=white]Level Special<O:p</O:p[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=3][COLOR=white]1 leverage (size bonus to grapple reduced by two sizes)<O:p</O:p[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=3][COLOR=white]2 debilitating strike 1/day<O:p</O:p[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=3][COLOR=white]3 leverage (size bonus to grapple reduced by three sizes)<O:p</O:p[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=3][COLOR=white]4 combat advantage (+1 to hit per 3 ranks in Climb)<O:p</O:p[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=3][COLOR=white]5 leverage (size bonus to grapple reduced four sizes)<O:p</O:p[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=3][COLOR=white]6 debilitating strike 2/day<O:p</O:p[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=3][COLOR=white]7 leverage (size bonus to grapple reduced five sizes)<O:p</O:p[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=3][COLOR=white]8 combat advantage (+1 to hit per 2 ranks in Climb)<O:p</O:p[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=3][COLOR=white]9 leverage (size bonus to grapple reduced six sizes)<O:p</O:p[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=white]10 debilitating strike 3/day[/COLOR][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
