Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sollir Furryfoot" data-source="post: 3976214" data-attributes="member: 748">Very cool Daredevil class.  I'd suggest only Medium BAB because the Tenacity bonus is so strong whenever he's under half hit points or less.Just for fun here's another, more supernatural powers class.  Not sure it's completely balanced (seems weak at lower levels, stronger at higher), it should be moderately close with its d6 hit points/medium BAB though.Lucky BastardAlignment: Any chaoticHD: D6BAB: Medium (Cleric’s)Saves: All GoodSkills: 4+Int modSkill List: As Rogue's (though see Fortune's Favorite)Weapon/Armor Proficiency: All Simple Weapons, Light Armor Proficiency.Alter Fate (Su): Once per day at 1st level and every 2 levels afterwards, the Lucky Bastard may reroll any one die (per the Luck domain’s granted power).Fortune’s Favorite (Su): Beginning at 1st level, whenever wearing light or no armor a Lucky Bastard gains a Deflection bonus to AC equal to Charisma modifier, up to the amount of +1 per class level.  He adds this same amount as a competence bonus on ability checks and to all skill checks he has untrained (doesn't possess ranks in).Jackpot: Beginning at 2nd level a Lucky Bastard may take a use of his Alter Fate ability to make a Smite attack (adding his Charisma bonus to attack and his class level to damage) with any improvised weapon or a weapon he is non-proficient in.  Additionally in the round he uses this ability he does not take the standard -4 attack roll penalty for a lack of proficiency.Just Plain Lucky (Su): Beginning at 4th level, a Lucky Bastard gains a +1 luck bonus to AC, Saves, Attack and Damage rolls and skill and ability checks.  When using an Aid Another action, he adds this bonus on top of the +2 he gives to his ally normally. This bonus increases by 1 at 8th level and every four levels after that.Chaos Shield (Su): Beginning at 6th level a Lucky Bastard as an immediate action may expend a use of Alter Fate whenever a foe misses on an attack targeted directly him.  The Lucky Bastard chooses whether his foe then either has to make a Dexterity check (DC 15) or drop his weapon, make a Balance check (DC 10) or fall prone or accidentally attacks another person who’s adjacent to him (if the latter is chosen, if the chosen person is an ally they are considered flat-footed by the opponent, who makes a new attack roll).Brinksman (Su): At 10th level, whenever a Lucky Bastard is at half hit points (round down) or less, his bonuses from Just Plain Lucky double, though only in regards to himself (the bonus to Aid Another actions remain the same).Serendipity (Su): At 14th level whenever rolling a natural ‘20’, a Lucky Bastard temporarily gains an extra use of Alter Fate.  He must make use of the Alter Fate ability within the following ten minutes or it is lost.The Lady’s Champion (Su): At 18th level a Lucky Bastard may use three uses of his Alter Fate ability to treat his next d20 roll as if he had rolled a natural 20.Transcend Destiny (Ex): At 20th level, a Lucky Bastard is no longer considered a humanoid but an outsider with the native subtype.  He may automatically reroll all Natural 1's without having to an expend a use of Alter Fate.Abilities by level:1st-Alter Fate 1/day, Fortune's Favorite2nd-Jackpot3rd-Alter Fate 2/day4th-Just Plain Lucky +15th-Alter Fate 3/day6th-Chaos
