[QUOTE="azmodean, post: 2324049, member: 26590"] I like the class [b]much[/b] better now than when you first introduced it. A Suggestion: You might want to specify that all talents have somatic components, and wether they also have verbal and/or material components. Arcane spell failure is the primary problem associated with spells that have somatic components, but it also specifies some other things as well. Criticism: The primary problem of the class is still there, that of requiring categorization of all supernatural monster abilities by level. What is the current status of that? The bab requirement taken with the spell requirement means you must take at least 6 PC levels before you are eligible if your base is a sorceror, is this intentional? You could just take 4 bard levels, but I don't understand why it's biased against sorcerors like this. If you want it to be a pure spellcasting PrC then you should probably drop the BaB requirement. I think the Lore, Examine, and Analyze abilities are a bit too specific. I would have preferred WotC to be specific like this with the various knowledge abilities, but as it stands they aren't, and you need to follow their lead. The Bardic Knowledge ability is probably the best example to base it on. You might need to just remove Examine and Analyze and replace them with somehing else, they just don't fit in with the way knowledge is handled in D20 IMO. [/QUOTE]
