[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 8211417, member: 5889"] Something I've noticed as I made a few characters with the Adept. Though it says you get 3rd level maneuvers at 8th, because you don't get another manuever until 10th its actually 10th level you get 3rd level manuevers, which is a big gap. Here's an example character I made as I was assessing the class. Olacan was raised in a family of pioneers. But early in life, he found religion at the steps of a prophet, who has spoken of a holy land, that once found, will bring peace and prosperity to the entire region. Olacan has now spent the last 10 years of his life wandering alone, with only the sacred scrolls to train his body and mind. He is tough and rugged, but with only the occasional beast or brigand to test his skills on, he is not truly battle tested. Olacan has had very little interaction with other people, and emotionally is very stoic and sheltered. Olacan the Adept (8th level Human) Str: 19 Dex: 12 Con: 14 Int: 10 Wisdom: 14 Charisma: 8 Skills: Athletics (Expert), Acrobatics, Insight, Medicine, Perception, Religion, Stealth, Survival, Healer’s Kit, Drums Saves: Str +7, Dex: +4, Death Saves +3 AC: 16 (+4 str, +2 leather) HP: 59 Speed: 55 Attack: +7x2 (1d6 + 4) Human: Die-Hard Survivor (+3 to Death Saving Throws) Culture: Pioneer (Insight, Survival, +1 wis, +1 str) Background: Hermit (Religion, Medicine, Healer’s Kit) Feats: +2 Str, Skill Expert (Exp: Athletics, Prof: Acrobatics, +1 str) Adept Adroit Defense (Brutal Defense) Exertion: 10 Focus Features (5), DC 13 [LIST] [*]Battle Meditation [*]Slow Fall (40) [*]Mind over Body (1d6 +8) [*]Stunning Strike [*]Shockwave [/LIST] Battlefield Ettiquette Empty Mind Knacks: Adept Speed x2, Gale Walk, Hurricane Walk Maneuvers (1st – 2, 2nd – 2). DC 16 [LIST] [*]Swift Combat Stance [*]Iron Will [*]Preternatural Strikes [*]Parry [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
