That's.. odd.. I guess it's just your Dex mod + 1/2 level?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Here's my secret hope: you get further skills equal to your Int mod, but they don't have to be class skills!</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Die size increase with shuriken - I think that's the new 'you're good with weapon X' and might also work for 'you use a weapon bigger than the PHB one'. At least the Pit Fiend mace was d12 and he was large and perhaps good with it?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Sneak attack progression - my inner modron hates that it doesn't scale 2d6/4d6/6d6!!!</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Isn't it obvious that the [W] entry for all these attacks is the printing code for the sword-symbol from the miniatures stat cards?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Piercing strike does seem too good. But it won't be. Perhaps AC is not just Reflex + Bonus after all? Perhaps AC represents a non-dodging defence. Defences currently scale from 10 + stat to 25 + stat, so why not have the best armour reach that at top level? Full Plate + 5 is AC 25 + Dex? Str? I mean, unless they heavily scale down Armour Bonus anyway, won't AC values be through the roof?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Crimson Edge has a 'Miss' entry - which I guess is like the 'you saved against my fireball' of 3E. So Fireball will probably read something like 'Fire blasts area X. Int vs. Reflex for ? + Int damage. Miss: Half damage.'</li> </ul></blockquote>
