[QUOTE="Valiantheart, post: 1097820, member: 10165"] I decided I wanted to make a Champion class that is more compatible with baseline D&D and incorporate it into my world. Monte's base class is good but WAY to strong to play with standard D&D classes and I made several modifications. Comments would be greatly welcomed as would ideas for more causes. Specifically I was thinking of writing up a "Law" cause and possible a "Peace" cause. Champion Champion Level Base Attack Bonus Fortitude Save Reflex Save Will Save Special 1 +1 +2 +1 +1 Champion Ability 2 +2 +3 +2 +2 Empower Armor 3 +3 +3 +2 +2 4 +4 +4 +2 +2 Call upon the Power 5 +5 +4 +3 +3 Champion Ability 6 +6/+1 +5 +3 +3 7 +7/+2 +5 +4 +4 Call Weapon 8 +8/+3 +6 +4 +4 9 +9/+4 +6 +4 +4 Stalwart Devotion 10 +10/+5 +7 +5 +5 Champion Ability 11 +11/+6/+1 +7 +5 +5 Empower Armor(Negate Criticals) 12 +12/+7+2 +8 +6 +6 Take on the Mantel 13 +13/+8/+3 +8 +6 +6 Call Weapon (Defender) 14 +14/+9/+4 +9 +6 +6 15 +15/+10/+5 +9 +7 +7 Champion Ability 16 +16/+11/+6/+1 +10 +7 +7 17 +17/+12/+7/+2 +10 +8 +8 Avatar 18 +18/+13/+8/+3 +11 +8 +8 Empower Armor(Negate All Criticals) 19 +19/+14/+9/+4 +11 +8 +8 Unassailable Soul 20 +20/+15/+10/+5 +12 +9 +9 Champion Ability Hit Die: 1d10 Skills Skill Points at First Level: (2+Intelligence bonus) x 4 Class Skills: The Champion’s class skills (and the key ability for each) Climb (Str), Craft (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Heal (Wis), Jump (Str), Knowledge (any skill, taken individually) (Int), Ride (Dex), Sense Motive (Wis), Swim (Str). Class Features Weapon and Armor Proficiency: The champion is proficient in the use of all simple and martial weapons and Light, Medium, and Heavy Armors and shields. Champion Ability: Champion abilities are dependent upon they cause they choose. Spell-like abilities use the Champion’s Wisdom modifier as the key ability. Empower Armor (Sp): A 2nd-level or higher champion can empower any armor or clothing he is wearing. The armor takes on the blazing symbol of the champion’s cause and it receives a +1 enhancement bonus, plus an additional +1 enhancement bonus for every 5 level of the champions. This armor can be empowered at will for up to one minute per Champion level. Always round the time the shield is used up to the next minute.

No one can take the weapon from his against his will, although it can be dispelled. The weapon has a +1 enhancement bonus, with an additional +1 enhancement bonus per five champion levels.

Unassailable Soul (Su): Beginning at 19th level, the champion becomes so focused toward his cause or devotion that even magic cannot stand in his way.
