It's um, pretty bad. But! Having posted a couple homebrew classes on these forums, I want to say firstly, I applaud your effort to make a new classes (or classes, if you have more); in 4ed, making classes is a major challenge! Some people I suspect will never even try, just b/c of the head-spinning involved with even beginning to try to make them work. Getting a new class balanced is a monumental task with a zillion considerations. So kudos for trying! Also, you will get some really great feedback on these forums. In fact, sometimes people will get downright critical. At times I have felt like there is a lack of positive support for new ideas, and some snarkiness here and there, but still some really D&D intelligent people on these forums that can help *alot*. Try to just take what you like/agree with from others and blend it with your own thoughts. Remember, this is your creation, and ultimately it will be what you want it to be (not what others think it should).  Amaroq has given you some *fabulous* ways to get your Mercenary headed down the right path. Start there, and definately remember that balance is paramount. As for my own little 2 cents regarding the class, I will keep it simple: ditch the name. Try to find something that can't be appiled to just about every other class in existence (as anyone can have money as a motivation and thus be called a "mercenary"). Good luck! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
