[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 5801786, member: 1210"] Gotcha, so this is more specific to your character than a general prc for anyone? Your dm may or may not like that. Some do; I wrote an "Accursed" prestige class for a pc who kept getting multiple curses at a time on him in one guy's game. :cool: I think it's okay if the prestige class lets you [i]treat it as if it's one category lighter,[/i] but right now it reads to me as if it lets you [i]craft it one category lighter.[/i] But that's a matter of re-wording the ability. If the point of this prc is to focus on crafting stuff, personally I'd swap it for a bonus item creation feat from a specific list. Good point re: sneak attack. Here's the thing, though- what class ought to be able to get into this prc easiest? Looks to me, conceptually, like a cleric/expert -> smith. But as it stands, he can't do it because he can't sneak attack. I'd nix both prereqs here and maybe swap out the "sneak attack constructs" to a straight-up "bonus damage against constructs" ability. It will also simplify how it works in play if you leave out the need for a Craft check; faster play is better, all other things being equal. TBH I only looked at the initial version and the latest. I'll try to put together a basic progression of how I'd do it if it were me; I have an "artificer" prestige class that's a specific god's craftsman in my campaign, so I'll check out what I did with it.
