[QUOTE="fnork de sporg, post: 836841, member: 4713"] Well, this is my first prestige class, and I don't have the How-To-Make-A-Prestige-Class PDf, so I'm sorta shooting in the dark here. But thankfully I have this kind place to help me through it. What if we reduced the hit die type, say a d8 or d6, cut the skill points to 4, and redo the save progression? Actually I was thinking of redoing the saves entirely. And maybe amp up the requirements, or something? I really like the sneak attack damage and also think the improved form of Dectect Alignment is a central part of the class. Maybe move the control/rebuke outsiders and Insight of the Grey ability up a level, to fifth and eighth respectively? Say, GREYGUARD (Prestige Class) Hit Die: d6. Requirements: • Alignment: Any Neutral. • Base Attack Bonus: +6. • Knowledge (planes): 4 ranks. • Hide: 6 ranks. • Feats: Expertise, Improved Disarm. • Special: The greyguard must have made peaceful contact with a neutral outsider so as to have become in tune with the force of the grey side. Class Skills: The greyguard’s class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Bluff (Cha), Craft (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Hide (Dex), Intimidate (Cha), Move Silent (Dex) Profession (Wis), Sense Motive (Wis), Use Magic Device (Cha) Skil Points: 4+Int Weapon and Armor Proficiency: greyards are proficient with all simple and martial weapons, and with all light armor, but not with shields. Table: The Greyguard Class Attack Fort Ref Will Special Level Bonus Save Save Save 1st +1 +0 +1 0 Detect Alignment, Sneak attack +1d6 2nd +2 +0 +1 0 smite (+1 alignment) 3rd +3 +1 +1 +1 Sneak attack +2d6 4th +4 +1 +2 +1 smite (+1 alignment), 5th +5 +1 +2 +1 Sneak attack +3d6 Command/rebuke outsiders 6th +6 +2 +2 +2 smite (+1 alignment) 7th +7 +2 +3 +2 Sneak attack +4d6, 8th +8 +2 +3 +2 smite (+1 alignment) Insight of the Grey 9th +9 +3 +3 +3 Sneak attack +5d6 10th +10 +3 +4 +3 Plane Shift without error 1/day, Sunder Portal 1/day How's that? Any better? Excuse my poor formating. And thank you for your patience [/QUOTE]
