[QUOTE="Aus_Snow, post: 4733993, member: 29112"] In 3e, this class would be decimated by just about any other. But I gather you are not, or will not be, using the Explorer in standard 3e at all, given these clues: * [B]Requirements: Strength 7 and Constitution 7[/B] * Skill Points at 1st level: ([B]5[/B] + int modifier) x 4 * Skill Points at each additional level: [B]5[/B] + int modifier * ACLIMATED [TRAIT, GENERAL, EXPLORER, [B]HUNTER[/B]] And really, without knowing just [I]how[/I] different your version of 3e is from the RAW, it's hard (impossible?) to gauge the class's relative effectiveness. Anyway, FWIW, I like the idea. If I was to tentatively offer a bit of advice, albeit with my not knowing the full context, two-weapon fighting seems a little out of place, if anything. Or an odd choice, at least. Also rather 'Ranger-ey'. And the skill points would need to be [I]at least[/I] 6+Int, IMO. With all that Rangers get beyond the humble Explorer, it seems peculiar to limit the latter's skill points [I]as well[/I]. [/QUOTE]
