[QUOTE="Arkhandus, post: 2099389, member: 13966"] All in all, excluding Blessing of Dyne, I'd consider it a potent but reasonably fair prestige class. But Blessing of Dyne is far too potent after all the other boons they get. They're basically a fighter with predetermined bonus feats, a strong will save to boot, and some minor/moderate magical traits that aren't over the top. As a limited prestige class, and considering the fighter's general weakness compared to other classes, I'm pretty much fine with the magical powers and the higher will save. Kinda neat all in all, but the Blessing of Dyne ought to be changed to something useable 1/day, lasting 1 round per level of the prestige class. In that case they could probably change the magic weapon qualities and ability scores boosted each time they activate the Blessing of Dyne. As for other stuff, I saw you mentioned something about their 'beloved' passing the trials as well, and was wondering if that was some typo or just some unexplained odd quirk of the trials.....? Anyway, for skills I'd add one or two more to the list of class skills, like Handle Animal (it just kinda goes with Ride...) and perhaps Gather Information. Lastly, you should probably note what happens to them if they violate their oath to wield only a two-bladed scythe. At the very least, does it bar them from using armor spikes, shield spikes, a gauntlet, or a spiked gauntlet? [/QUOTE]
