[QUOTE="orsal, post: 3797372, member: 16016"] ... which throughout the description you refer to variously as a Drunken Brawler and a Drunken Master. Pick a name and use it consistently. In character, various descriptors may be used, but for OOC discussion there should be a standard name. What's the reasoning behind this? It's unusual to use a character class as an explicit prerequisite; sometimes an ability unique to a character class is used, but even then, the class isn't named in the prerequisites. That way, if a homebrew variant of the base class is developed that includes the relevant ability, characters of that class can also qualify. So, is there a particular monk ability you think ought to be a prerequisite for this class? Don't confuse matters by defining a particular craft skill that doesn't fit the general rules for craft skills. If for some reason you want this to be Wis-based (and I don't see what's wrong with Int) then give it a different name. I don't like nonstandard progressions. You seem to be doing something close to medium BAB, good Fort and Ref, and poor Will, but not exactly -- you've given this class inferior Fort and Ref saves at levels 2 and 8, inferior Will at levels 3 and 9, and inferior BAB at levels 7, 8, and 10. It's confusing to have a class with its own progression -- it means I can't calculate the figures mathematically, I'd need to look them up in the table, and only this particular table will do. Since you're doing something so close to standard progressions, you should just use the standard version. Either STR or CON -- how to decide which? I'm guessing it's the Drunken B*er's choice, but that should be made explicit. Also, how long does it take to drink one drink? A full-round action might work, but however long you have in mind, needs to be explicit. I'm guessing that's per class level? Say so explicitly. (If it's per character level, this ability is broken.) "Virtually everything": so, by implication, some things can't be used as a weapon. But you don't say what things can or can't. Also, all characters can use improvised weapons: [url]http://www.d20srd.org/srd/equipment/weapons.htm#improvisedWeapons[/url] So, what makes the Drunken B*er's use different from any other? Does the Drunken B*er have proficiency in improvised weapons? That would work -- but if that's what you're aiming at, say so explicitly. Now I'm confused. If they're weapons, he's armed. So why unarmed attack? 1d10 plus the Drunken B*er's Wisdom score? 1d10 plus the Drunken B*er's Wisdom modifier? 1d10 plus the target's Wisdom (score or modifier)? Please be explicit. I'm guessing you mean 1d10 plus the Drunken B*er's Wisdom modifier, but you shouldn't leave it to us to guess these things. I don't see "winded" in the [url=http://www.d20srd.org/indexes/conditions.htm]Condition Summary[/url]. So, you'll have to spell out the mechanical effects of this condition. Otherwise, it doesn't mean anything. Whose class level? (The Drunken B*er's, I assume, but I want to see that written out.) Whose Wisdom? (Again, the Drunken B*er's, I would hope.) And, is the the Wisdom score, or Wisdom modifier? [/QUOTE]
