[QUOTE="Quartz, post: 3452959, member: 40552"] A very cool start! I think your prerequisites are a bit low. This is a high-power prestige class. After all, Elan is 13th level or so. A prerequisite should be Perform: X ranks in Repartee, where X is at least 8. Razor Wit: I'd suggest rephrasing it so that you use Cha instead of Str. Too Cool To Die is very cool, but it duplicates Divine Grace. You might want Evasion instead. Like the Duellist, I'd like the class to have a +1 Dodge bonus per level (up to the character's CHA bonus). I don't like your Acrobatic Charge: while I like the idea, it negates one of the Knight's class features. I'd suggest that the activity be given a DC of 20+level of highest character. Only a Scratch: this is a bit good. How about changing it to '... you may negate a critical hit made against you (normal damage still applies) that would take you below 0 HP'? Dashing Entrance: no love for Use Rope? :D This is what's known in HERO terms as a Presence Attack and should be much lower level. Make an entrance that requires a skill roll and you gain a morale bonus of +1 per 5 by which you make the roll. Spellcasting: +1 / 2 levels, I'd suggest. HP: d6, not d8. A full-on combat type would go for Duellist. [/QUOTE]
