[QUOTE="not_me, post: 1403645, member: 17085"] To those that have the Draconomicon, a question for you to speak your opinion. Compare, if you will, the Dragonslayer and the Platinum Knight. A player in a campaign of mine is looking to play a Platinum Knight. Not a problem. But it looks somewhat, dare I say it, [i]underpowered[/i]. So I looked at other classes in the same book, and came upon the Dragonslayer. To me, it looks easier to enter: Easier to enter: -less skill requirements (and less of a cross-class skill for fighter or paladin) -less feats (one very useful and one so so useful vs one minorly useful, maybe a draw) some things seem about the same -Same Spell advancement -Similar immune to fear -damage bonus vs smite (maybe PK a bit ahead, only 4x per day, but greater bonus and bonus to hit) and maybe seems more benificial: -Overcome Dragon spell resistance -DR 3/- instead of +2 Natural Armour -Energy Resistance 10 vs a bunch of different energy types -Two Feats What do you all think? Is the dragonslayer a bit better, and does that mean the PK is a bit under the power curve, or is the dragonslayer just above the curve? Assuming yes and yes, then what might you transfer from the DS to the PK (or suggest for the PK) to make it the same curve. Thanks, Not Me [/QUOTE]
