[QUOTE="Kerrick, post: 4812412, member: 4722"] You could easily drop it to 15 levels - just drop the bonus feats. It's not really the number of levels, though, it's the abilities you get. I'll agree - that thing is way overpowered, even for high epic. He can maximize all rolls, which when combined with x2 or x3 PA, effectively ends a combat in 1-2 rounds. He has x4 crit range (pointless, really) and crits (does this stack with other crit-enhancing effects?) The Battle Supremacy abilities are good (I'd start with PA x1.5 for the first one, then x2, x3, and full); Martial Lord is good (though it might need toned down a bit; maybe 1 round/3 levels?). Giving them the War portfolio without divine ranks is... yeah, a bit much. Also giving them a HD boost in the middle of the class is odd. d12 should be fine, IMO. [url=http://project-phoenix.wikidot.com/local--files/design:design-and-development/Prestige_Class.zip]Here's a link[/url] to an article I wrote a couple years ago about writing PrCs. It should give you some good tips. Aha. I just kind of skimmed over these this morning, so I didn't see it. And oh my god... wow. Instead of having them LOSE their bonus, how about giving the Slayer an effective DvR equal to his class level? IIRC, only a being of equal or higher rank can slay a divine being (UK rules), so this makes sense. Ah, I thought it was something like immunity to all divine effects (which would be kind of cool - you can't be healed by a cleric, e.g.). No, that's not what I meant. It's "seneschal". You spelled it properly in the flavor text, then leave out the second S all through the rest of the text. I don't have Ascension (obviously), so I can't really help you there. :p Probably not, but you'd have to ask UK on that one. You should really combine this with the Godslayer, since they're effectively the same thing. You've got enough abilities between the two to make a decent class; call it a Holy Avenger or something, and replace some of the more overpowered Godslayer abilities with stuff from the Seneschal.
