[QUOTE="ironwolfe, post: 51777, member: 2660"] [b]edited it with some changes..[/b] Ace: 1. Actually it was originally called the whirling dancer but I liked the sound of Spiral dancer so I changed it to that. Yes, I realise that there are black spiral dancers in werewolf but, ah well. 2. It is a combat PrC but more focused on mobility. I dropped the points to 3 + int mod though. I just don't want the thieves or bards who take it to lose out too much on skills while rewarding the fighters for getting out of the toe to toe mentality. 3. the class is more about not being hit and picking the moment to strike than mincing in there. I prefer to keep the BaB down. Rogues already get d8 instead of d6 and fighters already get an extra skill point per level and tight range of feat like abilities. 4. I like the Unceasing dance idea, but I'm not sure where it would go in without overbalancing it even more! Perhaps as a tenth level ability to go along with grand finale.... Quetzocoatl: Sorry, I meant to write total and not roll for momentum (I also meant to write initial roll) and sort of got confused. You're right about it being total. The dance ability adds a possible 4 to AC: (2 AC bonus and a possible +2 for the 4 point dex adj.) The dance can be performed in Light or no armour. it also cannot be performed if the character is fatigued, exhausted or encumbered (medium or heavily). I think the AC makes up for losing the armour and +4 is a nice reward for an ability that might or might not work! The DCs for the dance have been increased to reflect the complicated nature of the dance (and the fact that 10 would be passed by a character's bonuses to dance after 3 levels or so...) Sorry, two weapon style should read two weapon fighting. thanks for the replies. [/QUOTE]
