Cleric saves.  Simple weapons, medium armor.  Pick a Dragon Color,  get bonus skills,get free Skill Focus feats in bonus skills.  Get Auras to boost your friends.  Get Breath Weapon, Get Natural Armor bonus,  get wings at 20th level.  Get a healing abillity at 6th level, that despite what the fluff description says , will not let you heal like a cleric.  Mechanically, the class works,  but it doesnt feel like a Shaman or say a Totem Warrior from AE.  I cant say it is the most creative class.Duskblade:  First off hate the name.  Reminds me too much of the Duskling from Magic of Incarnum.  d8 HP, full bab, good Will and Fort saves, martial weapons and all armor with the abillity to cast in light armor w/ no ASP, eventually growing into Medium, and then medium and heavy shields.  Class can cast spells as a swift action a certain times per day,  and can channel touch spells through their weapons a number of times per day.I tend to agree with Nightfall, I like the AE Mage Blade better, but I have a certain fondness for this class as well.  Full Bab and the sheer number of spell slots this class can have is impressive.Knight: Keeping it short here as most people have seen the preview of the class on the WOTC site.  I like the class, it does feel very Sturm Brightblade to me, which is a good thing.  People's complaint that the class abillity feels to much like a MMORPG is a bit silly to me.  Being able to draw a creatures attention is a very valuable power, and one that frankly has not been modeled in D&D well before.  When most DMs say that when a character goes unconscious in the threat range of an oponent and they DO NOT finish them off, we can see an area of the game where people's behavior has adapted to negate a hole in the rules.Kudos to WOTC.</blockquote>
