[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 2730808, member: 1465"] I would change two things in the version I currently see: 1) I'd remove Skill Focus Diplomacy and instead give a PrCl feature that grants a competence bonus to Diplomacy equal to the PrCl level. It's a net +2 more powerful, but that's not the point. I'd prefer this way because a) it gives more sense of development to the PrCl, b) giving specific bonus feats at high level is not a good idea [the character may well have the feat already, or not take it earlier exactly because it's free later] 2) The Knowledge requirements are indeed a bit harsh. Knowledge could be a help to qualify rather than a strict necessity, although it's perfectly fine even this way (the Court decides who qualifies anyway, and they may appreciate knowledge more than skill for some reason). Anyway, the point is just not to overload the skill requisites as a whole: here it's 25 skill points, and few classes have all the 3 skills. Just keep ONE skill at 10 ranks to determine the entry level (any one you prefer), and keep ALL the others low, like 5. Also keep in mind that for a class without that main skill, the entry level will be 18!! * (BTW, the entry level is 8, because you need to already have 10 ranks before) * ! more extreme measure is to require skill ranks 5 for all, and then explicitly require CHARACTER LEVEL 8. I understand that this is an unpopular practice (but it's so only because the authors themselves are used not to do it, not because it's written in the bible...), but it actually would help make your PrCl available for example to elven fighters, sorcerers or rangers.
