[QUOTE="Elder-Basilisk, post: 511984, member: 3146"] Considering the nature of 3e, all of the classes are too powerful. Paladins? Just count the number of smackdowns high level paladins can do. Clerics? Cleric+bow=Sultans of Smack material. Cleric+club=Sultans of Smack. . . . Barbarians? See Sultans of Smack Fighters? See Sultans of Smack Rogues? See Sultans of Smack You get the point. I've even seen smackdowns posted for bards. (Admittedly, they're the diplomacy=everyone in the world is my friend kind of smackdown). The Weapon Master from Sword and Fist is a powerful class but no more powerful than other prestige classes. It's not Tribal Protector, Frenzied Beserker, Mage of the Arcane Order, or Devoted Defender. It's not even Templar. Is it worth taking the class? Yes. Definitely if you want to play a master of a particular weapon who tends to be lightly armored (whirlwind attack doesn't work in heavy armor--whirlwind attack is a very heavy prerequisite and ki whirlwind is one of the class's more significant abilities) and relies upon crits. (Although statistically it's more effective with a high crit multiplier weapon than with a high crit range weapon. . . .) But I don't see it outclassing the other prestige classes. [/QUOTE]
