[QUOTE="Tyonisius, post: 3893589, member: 57179"] This is another one of my attempts at a prestige class. This is kind of like a "The Reaper" class in my eyes. I'm not finished with it but I'd like some feed back, primarily focused on balance and secondarily focued on other ideas for the class. If it's underpowered, I'd like to increase it to full BAB, among other things if balance permits. Let me know what you think!
