[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 101789, member: 2067"] Now we're getting somewhere. ^_^ The FFT knight is, indeed, part of what I'm basing it on. But I want it to be more "generic Final Fantasy" than that. Hurm...how about if I impose a sort of Uses/Day/Level schema of a Wizard? So that, at 1st level, Sleep Strike or Break 1d4 is usable once, and as you go up, you get more uses of that Sleep Strike/Break 1d4. It'll probably roughly mirror the Wizard progression...see the edited post for the idea. :) Keep in mind, these *do* provoke attacks of opportunity, like casting a spell...perhaps I should also impose a Concentration-check for "keeping the effect" if you are struck performing it?
