[QUOTE="Rahkan, post: 708742, member: 3583"] After you've explained it to me, I agree with you on the requirements. Anyone building a throwing PrC should not make requirements that any throwing based character is going to have anyway. It should be pointed out however, that, though I did not think of it at the time, the Two-Weapon Fighting and Ambidexterity feats are basically wasted since they don't really apply to throwing weapons. Further, some of my benefits are less beneficial than others. Improvised Weapon and Dance! are not particularly useful and other abilities, such as Stream of Blades are only of limited utility. But I will consider what other semi-useful abilities could be added. I like your idea about two-handed throwing weapons, especially since it would not increase the power of the class since it is one based on two-weapon throwing. I agree totally. The only caveat I can add here is that it's much harder to get someone to lose their dexterity bonus to armor class if you are not there to flank them. Basically one could only use sneak attacks after a successful feint (using the bluff skill) or during the surprise round, in which one can only use partial attacks in any case. It is viable for a rogue to go around feinting an opponent in one round (since it is a standard action) and then unleashing the fury on him in the next round, but it would halve his damage output as opposed to sneak attacking for two rounds. Further, a pure rogue can easily get at least 6 melee attacks by level 20 by going the TWP, Ambi, Imp TWP, and Great TWP route. And he'll have +10d6 sneak attack damage A pure rogue can take this class as his ninth level (since he only gains BAB +7 at 10th) meaning that by level 20 he'll have While if he takes this class he gets 4 regular iterative attacks, 3 off-hand attacks, and one rapid shot attack for a total of seven, and he'll have +5d6 sneak attack damage. I'll confess to not having done any math, but I think that this means a level 20 Rogue / FoB will not be much more effective than a level 20 Fighter / FoB. I hope you'll forgive me for this voluminous answer. [/QUOTE]
