I certainly know that I wouldn't pursue the class for more than 4 levels. If you have any ideas for abilities that'd make the class less bland, please post them. I am not really concerned about the power level, as I feel the kensai class is more powerful than the one I proposed here, and I already allowed the PC to take it.Well, if a DM "made" me take levels in any class, I'd walk out of that game; I have no reason not to apply this standard to any games I run. By the level when it can be taken, GWF is such a minor benefit that I included the ability more for flavor than anything else. I'll consider removing it at any rate.I did not ask the player for a reason. However, I feel that the power level of the game is such that takling five levels of fighter at the time when all other characters are taking levels in prestige classes that are clearly more powerful than base classes (such as archmage, seeker of the song, divine agent, and so on) would unbalance this character with respect to other PCs. I have no problem whatsoever allowing multiple prestige classes if the players can provide a good roleplaying reason for their characters to have them. One PC is a cleric/divine disciple/divine agent (makes sense with the level of devotion he is showing in roleplay). Another is a fighter/cleric/devoted defender/divine champion of Helm (deity of guardians)While I do enjoy prestige classes that are tied to the campaign world, I also have no problem with prestige classes that are simply codified instances of certain character concepts.</blockquote>
