[QUOTE="Bront, post: 2245127, member: 19696"] I agree that auto-confirming is rough. A more interesting mechanic might be to allow the character to add his class level as a compitence bonus to hit on a critical confirm. Scales, not too powerfull, and at worst, they get an extra 25% to confirm at 5th level. I think You're heavy on feat requirements. ONLY a fighter can qualify for this class before 10th level (earlest any other human can, 13th for all other players). It should be broader, even if it does favor the fighter. +8 BAB favors them enough. Make it Weapon Focus, Improved Crit, Combat Expertise (Know your blade, be accurate with it, and know some of the inner workings of combat beyond just the blade). This lets any combat char (BAB 1/1) get into it at 9th level IF they select the right feats, and lets other characters get in with a little work. Instead of simply stating that their fighter levels and these levels stack for weapon specialization, grant the feat specificaly at 4th level (Especialy if you tweek the critical thing), and if they have it, give them greater (Obviously with a blade weapon). This isn't much different, but it does mean they can't use their blademaster level to give them access to specialization: Mace. Blade rush bugs me a bit. Perhaps because it feels like it should require Improved Bull Rush or something. Seems too powerful. Perhaps allowing it INSTEAD of an attack (meaning they could do it as part of a full round attack action). [/QUOTE]
