[QUOTE="grumblyarcher, post: 6557891, member: 6791810"] I don't know if I am allowed to make proposals or if this is the right format but I would like to start the dialogue on these two topics. Gunslinger (Bolt Ace): [URL="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base-classes/gunslinger/archetypes/paizo---gunslinger-archetypes/bolt-ace"]LINK[/URL] I have always found the Gunslinger mechanics to be very flavorful but including guns in every setting is far from appropriate. My proposal is to allow Gunslingers but only ever with the Bolt Ace archetype. It replaces guns with crossbows in all class features and does a lot to make crossbows viable in Pathfinder. There was a somewhat notorious hiccup in the editing of the archetype in that they still get the Gunsmithing class feature despite not using firearms. To address this I recommend using an adaptation of the 'Guns Everywhere' alternate rules found here: [URL="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/equipment---final/weapons/firearms#TOC-Firearms-in-Your-Campaign"]LINK[/URL], where Bolt Ace would lose Gunsmithing and gain Crossbow Training at first level. Alternately, if that makes the class too much of a target for dipping, it could be replaced with a bonus feat. Far Shot, Point-Blank Shot, or Precise Shot are all likely candidates, as is leaving it a flexible bonus combat feat. Student of War: [URL="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/prestige-classes/other-paizo/s-z/student-of-war"]LINK[/URL] A favorite prestige class of mine, it gives players more of a reason to play intelligence based fighters. While highly effective against single opponents, I know from experience it suffers some against multiple foes giving it a nice balance. The class features are all dependent on knowledge checks to use so builds tend to be a bit specific but they still have great flavor. [/QUOTE]
