[QUOTE="NotAYakk, post: 8097854, member: 72555"] If this character is balanced with a Fighter at level 11, then at level 13 your class is broken. And if balanced at 13, at 11 is must be abysmal. Extra Attack(3) is a top-tier feature that takes a fighter from weak at 10 to strong at 11, in sync with other classes. Extra Attack(3) is exclusive to fighters, and their big upgrade in the level 11-20 range (yes, bigger than 17 (action surge(2) or 20 extra attack(4); 4th extra attack is +33% output, 3rd is +50%). You are giving it [b]along side[/b] other meaty features. Extra Attack(3) is so big that people level fighters 1-11 or 5-11 for it, then stop and start up other classes. Unless your design goal is to render the Fighter an obsolete class (which, you know, is a reasonable goal; the fighter back-10 is a bit Zzz; but back-dooring it seems a bit impolite,, you should be explicit about that as a goal), this looks like a lot of pretty art, adventure hooks, with mechanics that need replacing. And if you consider Extra Attack(3) to be a suitable level 13 feature, plus very basic editing errors ("CLASS NAME" instead of the class name in a released product you are already charging full price for) it doesn't place much faith in the rest of it. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
