[QUOTE="Hawken, post: 4838633, member: 23619"] I thought that could have been it, but the wording seemed a little vague the way I read it. I still don't understand why they would get a better morale bonus than anyone else though. Plus the wording indicates that the bonus is conditional upon the presence of a crowd. Does he need an audience to get the bonus? The Thumbs Down thing is just like the "running/charging" argument I made. If you have the ability to slay someone as a standard action, its not dependent upon someone else's approval. You either are able to do it or not. And like the morale bonus thing, how is having an audience or getting someone's approval for a killing going to make him do it better (standard vs. full action) than when there is no one around watching or no one to tell him whether to kill or not. The way this class is written, the more I look at it, this is for an NPC, not a PC. Urban adventures maybe...once or twice. But out in the wild, scrounging around a dungeon or plane hopping--I just don't see someone with this class doing any of that. Every class should be fine in any setting, able to thrive in some, get by in others, but otherwise be fine. I just don't see this class in any setting other than a gladiatorial arena. [/QUOTE]
