The Urban Druid is the only one of his kind.  Even the Paladin is one of the last memebers of her order and faith.  All that allows us to introduce new things that NPCs might not have, becuase the PCs are unique.  Which I think it great for a heroic game.   New abilites, new systems, new skills - these are all a little harder.  I have told my players that they can now take the Martial Study feat from Book  of 9 Swords as a way to introduce manuevers into the game - i think it would be particularlly appropriate for the Ninja and possibly the Paladin.  If they choose to, and if they like it, I might allow some of the PrC from that book as well.  I want to be able to ease into that kind of thing, not just for me but mainly for the players.New skils and new uses for old skills are hard to handle, IMO, because we have already "learned" how they work.  I have tried in the past to allow various dynamic skill uses to create manuevers and the like, but no one ever took me up on it, and except for a few encounters I always forgot to use it with NPCs.</blockquote>
