[QUOTE="Hawkeye, post: 758259, member: 9200"] I am by no means an expert, but in the class description you state that the character must know lots of things, however the only skills that you require for the class is Knowledge (Tactics) and Search. You give them access to a large number of skills in turn. Shouldn't they have a bit more stringent prerequsites. It seems that a 3rd level fighter could qualify for this class. That is a just a little soon for a PrC. He can finish out the entire PrC and be 13th level. He can haste himself, has an AC bonus that can't be bypassed even if flatfooted nor can he be flanked.. In addition he has 7 levels left to play with before 20th. That is a bit overpowered. He still has a fighter BAB, Weapon skills and armor, with slightly less HPs. He is supposed to be a Master of Tactics right? SO why does he have the tactical mastery of a 2nd level character? Why does he have the Search abilites of a 1st? You need to boost those skill requirements a bit. Maybe Knowledge (Tactics) 8, Search 4? He should have some knowledge of the symbiotic race before being bonded. Maybe Knowledge (Symbiote) 4? I would also suggest that the Leadershp feat be required. The PrC class skills of Alchemy, Disable Device, Read Lips and Forgery, what is the logic behind those? This is supposed to be a battlefield commander. Why should he know these things? It looks like you took all of the skills that might just be interesting and placed them in a single PrC. You need to detail what happends to the PC if his symbiote dies. Hmm. Has a Fighter's BAB along with the weapon and armor skills. It has the skill points and saves of a Bard. It has the Uncanny dodge abilites of a Barbarian. It can haste itself like a Sorc/Wiz. It can buff the attacks of a group like a Bard/Cleric. It has the HPS of a Cleric/Druid Its easy to get in to and gives a great deal in return and it still gives the PC 10 levels to play with for other classes. I think that is just a bit overpowered.
