[QUOTE="CRGreathouse, post: 3062229, member: 474"] I like the class, but to be honest, it feels pretty weak. Tied to the land is a triple whammy: not only did the character 'just' pay the entrance cost, but they lose a 7th-level spell slot and can lose Con. Further, if they care about their land, they have the potential to harm it by being harmed. Sense Incursion is nice, and could be useful, but isn't particularly powerful (depending on how the DM uses it). See the Land is unimpressive for someone at this level. Heal Subjects isn't strong compared to effects that can be seen at this level, and seems almost out of place here: it would be a useful ability for a character without access to many resources, but for a king who surely has a court cleric at beck and call it's strangely placed. Finally, the class gains feats more slowly than the epic sorcerer. A Sor23/Sorcerer-King7 has 2 fewer epic feats than a Sor30. In conclusion, you're paying several feats (Great Charisma + 1/12 levels) and restricting your selection for a better skill selection and Sense Incursion. I thinkyou need more powers, or perhaps something better in place of See the Land. Finally, I think level 1 should hurt less. It's all negative at the moment; a level of nonepic loremaster would be better. [/QUOTE]
