[QUOTE="Sollir Furryfoot, post: 2154959, member: 748"] Under construction still but somewhat complete PrC made for characters who are defined as much by their weapon as their skills.

Feats: Combat Expertise or Point Blank Shot or Power Attack, Quick Draw, Weapon Focus (Any), Weapon Specialization (Any).

[i]Skill Points Per Level: 2+Int Modifier[/i] [code]Lvl BAB Fort Ref Will Special 1 +0 +2 +0 +0 Artifact Weapon, Draw Life 2 +1 +3 +0 +0 Weapon Feat 3 +2 +3 +1 +1 Skillful Smite 1/day 4 +3 +4 +1 +1 Weapon Power 5 +3 +4 +1 +1 Weapon Feat 6 +4 +5 +2 +2 Skillful Smite 2/day 7 +5 +5 +2 +2 Weapon Power 8 +6 +6 +2 +2 Weapon Feat 9 +6 +6 +3 +3 Skillful Smite 3/day 10 +7 +7 +3 +3 Weapon Power[/code] [u]Class Features:[/u] [b]Weapon and Armor Proficiency:[/b] The Artifact Wielder gains no new weapon or armor proficiency. [b]Artifact Weapon (Ex):[/b] Artifact Weapon may be any masterwork weapon that the Artifact Wielder has Weapon Focus/Specialization in. It cannot be further enchanted nor, in the case of ranged weapons, may the wielder benefit from enchanted projectiles. It has no base enhancement bonus, and does not count as a magic weapon for purposes of bypassing Damage Reduction. It gains an additional 2 hardness and 5 hit points per Artifact Wielder level. It must be in hand for the Artifact Wielder to use any of his class abilities. The following abilities are available only in the Artifact Wielder's hand. At level 1 the Artifact Weapon has an ability equivalent to a +1 weapon (ex: flaming, keen, shocking, etc...), and may gain an additional +1 ability every level. If the Artifact Wielder so chooses, he can save up these bonus enhancements to purchase a stronger ability. Unlike normal weapons, an Artifact Wielder may stack the same enhancement bonus on his weapon multiple times, although it costs an additional +1 per previous addition (Ex: flaming x1 is +1, flaming x2 is +2 on top of that, and flaming x3 is an additional +3 on top of those). A particular Artifact Weapon may not have more than 2 elemental additions upon it. An Artifact Wielder may create a new Artifact Weapon, although this requires at least a week to make the weapon and requires 2,500 gold and 300 XP per Artifact Wielder level. This new weapon must be of the same type as the Artifact Wielder's previous weapon and may have new enhancement combinations, although the Artifact Wielder's chosen bonus feats/weapon powers remain the same. [b]Draw Life (Su):[/b] The Artifact Wielder may, as a move equivalent action, heal himself by transfering hit points from his weapon on a 1 for 1 basis. He may instead choose to repair his weapon instead, but it costs him 2 hp for every 1 of his weapon that he desires to repair. [b]Weapon Feat (Ex):[/b] The Artifact Wielder gains a bonus feat at 2nd level and every 3rd level after (5th, 8th) which he may only benefit from while wielding his weapon. This feat may include any feat from the Fighter Bonus Feat list (Artifact Wielder levels stack with Fighter levels for determining any special bonus feats he may qualify for) and also includes Greater Spell Focus, Greater Spell Penetration, Spell Focus, Spell Penetration. [b]Skillful Smite (Ex):[/b] As per Paladin's Smite ability, except the Artifact Wielder may choose to add his Str, Dex, or Int score to his attack roll to deal extra damage equal to his class level. [b]Weapon Power (Ex):[/b] The Artifact Wielder may choose an ability off the following list (multiple choosings of an ability stack): - Flurry of Blows - Sneak Attack +2d6 - +2 Spell Power - Empower Spell of 3rd level or lower 3/day - Maximize Spell of 3rd level or lower 1/day Looking for more ideas for Weapon Powers.
