Flame Steward PrC

[DantesFury]

Dragon issue #283 has a prestige class called the Flame Steward... My question is on the # of times the FS can use certain special abilities... Sacred Firefan and Sacred Flamestrike..... The higher lv abilities specifically say they can only be used once per day... But there is no such info on the 2 I have listed.....

BTW the class seems pretty week if those 2 abilities can only be used 1/day...

They both seem to be as often as you want.

There must be a limit. What DM would allow (a more controlled and thus more powerful version of) Flame Strike as often as you want?

Well, if there is it's not written in the Dragon. From a balance point of few I think that power should be limited to 1/day per level in the prestige class. However, that would be a house rule.

Personally, I'd accept that for Firefan, but limit Flamestrike to 1/day. And I don't think the class is that weak. Full BAB, 2 good saves, some good spells (both healing and offense), decent powers, cool motif... what more could one ask for?

After the article was published the author (Monte?) realized the error and pointed out some unofficial errata.

Sacred Firefan 3/day
Sacred Flamestrike 1/day

True, but he also said that since the firefan is a weak ability allowing it 'at will' likely would not be too powerfull. I tend to agree, it's barely usefull but adds alot of flava.
