If something is worth a PrC, it should be worth 10 levels. If there aren't enough spiffy abilities to fill out 10 levels, perhaps the concept isn't broad or deep enough to warrant a PrC. But that's just my taste.2) Inspire courage and inspire greatness are good. Inspire competence would also be good.3) To be consistent with how it works elsewhere, smite should give a fixed bonus to attack, and a bonus equal to level to damage.4) Limiting smite to hill giants alone is odd. Why not all creatures with the giant type (which is how the dwarf's racial bonus to AC works)? That would include ogres, fire giants, frost giants, and ettins, all of which seem like common enemies for dwarves.5) I don't like sing through silence. If something blocks sound, then it blocks sound. Perhaps the ELH will have skill checks for getting around this, but the DCs will probably be astronomical.6) Endurance is good. Along the same lines, bull's strength might also be a good idea.7) Here's an idea: inspire fury, which gives all creatures who hear it (or maybe only some of them) the ability to rage as per the barbarian. Lawful creatures can't normally use this ability, but for a warlike class, it seems reasonable enough to me.</blockquote>
