[QUOTE="ivocaliban, post: 3280498, member: 17596"] I made a [S]couple[/S] [S]few[/S] lot of adjustments to make this PrC fit my swashbuckling campaign: *Alignment requirement changed to: Any nonlawful (to allow neutral evil cowards, c'mon!) *Dropped BAB to +3 (To allow rogues to get the PrC before 6th level) *Increased Escape Artist skill requirement to 8 (So that the PrC can't be obtained before 5th level) *Added Bluff 5 skill requirement *Added Listen, Spot, and Tumble to the skill list (To hear, see, and get out of the way danger.) *Increased skill points per level to 6 + Intelligence modifer *Decreased BAB from that of fighter to that of rogue (Cowards with full BAB?) *2nd level added [I]Lucky Bastard: Yellowbelly Cowards come to realize the importance that luck plays in their continued survival. At 2nd level, they receive a bonus luck feat for which they meet the prerequisite.[/I] (see [I]Complete Scoundrel[/I] for details) An homage to Rincewind and cowards everywhere. *5th level Chicken replaced with [I]Leave Me For Dead (Ex): Upon a successful stabilization check Yellowbellied Cowards may opt to go into a comatose state that is difficult to distinguish from death.
