SteelDraco said:My problem with the marshal is that you lose any reason to continue taking levels in it after the Grant Move Action ability. The auras just aren't interesting enough to keep taking the class, IMO. It's fairly front-loaded, too...
When I take a level of marshal, I want to stick it out to 2nd level to get a major aura.
At 2nd level, I want to stick it out to 3rd to get a second minor aura.
At 3rd level, I want to stick it out to 4th to get Grant Move Action.
At 4th level, I want to stick it out to 5th to get a second major aura, as well as a third minor.
6th level is a bust, but at 7th my major aura bonus goes to +2.
At 7th level, I want to stick it out to 8th to get another Grant Move Action (damn handy ability).
At 8th level, I want to stick it out to 9th to get another major and minor aura.
After 9th, the class pretty much stalls out, but it's a good ride up until then. 10th level would be a good place for another class feature.
