[QUOTE="gamerprinter, post: 5292898, member: 50895"] [b]All good questions...[/b] All good questions, and lots of it due to me not being clear. I see going one of four ways, either create: 1. Create a single prestige class with its own HD, Saves, Skills, then attach the multi-class relying on the prestige class for HD, Saves, etc. (I don't think this is the way I want to go.) 2. Create a single base class from 1st to 20th that mixes rogue with ki powers... 3. Allow the chosen second multi-class to determine HD, BAB, Saves, etc., and the prestige class itself has none, using the new base class to determine that aspect. 4. Or create three Shinobi builds, one more martial, one more stealth, one more arcane. I plan to include 5 if not 10 choices from available Ki powers as part of the prestige class as well. So if I were to build a 'fighter' shinobi theme, I would grant five ki powers instead of five bonus feats, as per standard fighter. And yes, my ultimate question is whether to allow and if so how to define the alternate 'multi-class' thing. I'm not looking for a monk with a nerfed add-on to what other base classes could do better. Regarding my fighter build or multi-class, not wanting an 'amored' ninja, perhaps using the APG's stealth fighter would be a better build to go by. GP PS: I was never considering some stack HD, Saves between base class, prestige class, and multi-class - who would do that? Sounds quite broken. [/QUOTE]
