[QUOTE="Bront, post: 3503187, member: 19696"] Deep Diver - Cool concept, generaly well done, but doesn't seem like a good fantasy game class for reasons stated before. It's also hard to get into with 3 required feats. I could see it as a 5 level class that eventualy grants water breathing or something similar. That said, it is very well done. The Savant - Not sure what you're trying to do. Hefty skill requirements, but with a high int (18), they're attainable as a straight Cleric 3/Wizard 3/Mystic Theurge 4, or better yet, as a Druid 3/Wizard 4/ Arcane Hyrphant 3. You get to do everything. High BAB, dual casting, lots of skills. Honestly, it realy looks like a joke of some kind. I hope that doesn't sound too cruel, just trying to be honest. The Psiorcorer - I don't like the Psispell feat. It basicly allows spells to be cast as psionic powers, and they aren't balanced to be done in such a way (There's no cost to pump up a spell, but there is a psionic power). Laden spells is an interesting idea, but I think it'd be better done as metamagic. Honestly, it's overkill given the Cerebremancer, and is significantly more powerful in every way. Just a good guide when designing Prestiege classes, is look at what's out there, and use that as a power guide. Not every Prestiege class is perfectly balanced, but if you see that what you have is significantly more powerful than something else out there, then you have to ask if you're giving it too much power, or if the class wasn't powerful enough in the first place. In most cases, people seem to think that dual casting classes are overpowered to begin with (I don't, I think they're balanced generaly), so making extremely more powerful versions of them is probably going to be particularly balanced or be recieved to well.
