(The overly nice thing that happened on the WotC boards never happened here, so all it does is make most folks here confused.) Consider making it Prestige Class and a feat chain instead. Hmm. Maybe something like...Planar ExemplarPrereqs:- BAB +1- Knowledge (Planes) 2 ranksBenefits:- HD d8- BAB: Full.- Good save: Choose one.- Skills: 8 + Int -- Knowledge (Planes), Survival, plus choose any ten skills to be class skills. (Each Knowledge or Perform counts as a separate skill.)Goodies By Level:1/ Planar Affinity, Planar Talent2/ Planar Talent3/ Planar Talent4/ Planar TalentPlanar Affinity: Choose one alignment (Chaos, Law, Good or Evil) or elemental (Air, Earth, Fire or Water), or something else cool the DM comes up with, like Shadow or Astral or whatever. You gain a competence bonus equal to your class level to the following skill checks when they relate to a being with the same descriptor: Diplomacy, Heal, Sense Motive. If you are the Exemplar of an alignment, you also gain an aura (like a Cleric) which can be detected by the appropriate spells.Planar Talents: This is like the SW Saga talent system, but less well thought out.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Outsider Proficiencies: You gain proficiency with all Martial weapons.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Energy Channeling: Your Exemplar levels stack with your Cleric levels for the purpose of turning or rebuking undead. Prereq: Ability to turn or rebuke undead.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Elemental Channeling: Your Exemplar levels stack with your Cleric levels for the purpose of turning or rebuking elementals.

This spell's level must be one-half of your character level or less, and is subject to DM's approval, because I'm lazy. You may use this spell once per day. When you gain a character level, you can trade this spell in for a different spell for which you qualify. Special: You may choose this talent more than once, and its effects stack. You may choose the same spell twice (gaining an additional daily use), or you can choose two different spells.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Spank the Wicked: Once per day, you can Smite beings with a descriptor opposed to yours, adding your Charisma to an attack roll and your character level to damage. Air <-> Earth Fire <-> Water Chaos <-> Law Good <-> Evil Special: You may choose this talent more than once, and its effects stack, granting you an additional daily Smite use.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Paragon Commander: You gain a +2 bonus on your Leadership score with respect to your cohort, so long as your cohort's subtype matches your associated descriptor.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Favored Enemy: As the Ranger class feature, but you may only choose from Undead, Outsiders or Elementals.

Each time, choose a different benefit.</li> </ul>... and then some high-level Feats to expand on these abilities, similar to the Heritage feats in the PHB-II or Complete Mage.Cheers, -- N</blockquote>
