Message: <blockquote data-quote="Arkhandus" data-source="post: 2087079" data-attributes="member: 13966">A preliminary example for scrutiny regarding a possible two-bladed sword prestige class.Master Claw of the Dragon (Eyros Prestige Class)Prerequisites: Eyrian only, half-orc only, Base Attack Bonus +4 or higher, Bluff or Intimidate 5+ ranks, Jump 7+ ranks, Knowledge (war) 2+ ranks, Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Two-Bladed Sword), Power Attack, Two-Weapon Fighting, Weapon Focus (Two-Bladed Sword), must be formally trained in the Claws of the Dragon martial art by a recognized master in Eyros.Alignment: Any.Hit Dice: d8.Class Skills: Bluff, Diplomacy, Escape Artist, Handle Animal, Intimidate, Jump, Knowledge (history), Knowledge (war), Perform, Ride, Sense Motive, and Tumble.Skill Points at Each Level: 4 + Intelligence modifier.Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Master Claws of the Dragon are proficient in all simple weapons, all light armors, and all medium armors.Two-Weapon Defense: A Master Claw gains the Two-Weapon Defense feat as a bonus feat.  If they already possessed the feat, they instead double the shield bonus of that feat.Dragon's Dive: The Master Claw is skilled at leaping into the air to bear down on their foe with a whirling two-bladed sword, like a dragon on the dive.  Master Claws of the Dragon add their level in this prestige class, as a competence bonus, to both their Jump checks and the maximum distance they can jump, in feet.  If the Master Claw jumps high enough for at least their knees to be level with an opponent, they count as having the high ground for purposes of their attack, meaning they get a +1 circumstance bonus on the attack roll.  The Master Claw may jump as part of a move, double-move, charge, or partial charge.Sharpened Claw of the Dragon: At 2nd-level in this prestige class, the Master Claw has attained such a level of skill with the two-bladed sword that it strikes as an extension of their own arms.  The penalty for fighting with two weapons or a double weapon is reduced by 2 points when wielding a two-bladed sword.Wiles of the Dragon: When a Master Claw wields a two-bladed sword, they can use the Bluff skill to feint in combat as a move-equivalent action instead of a standard action.  When they use the Bluff skill to feint in combat, the Master Claw deals +1 damage with the following attack if they successfully feint.  The bonus damage is multiplied normally on a critical hit.  This ability is gained at 3rd-level in the prestige class.Bite of the Dragon: A 4th-level or higher Master Claw of the Dragon can make two attacks when charging an opponent, but only when using a two-bladed sword and jumping at least 3 feet high before the strike.  In these circumstances, the Master Claw makes one attack as normal with their primary hand, with the usual bonus on the attack roll for charging, but also gains an off-hand attack without the charging bonus.  The off-hand attack suffers a further -2 penalty to the attack roll.Mastered Claw of the Dragon: At 5th-level in this prestige class, the Master Claw improves the threat range of their two-bladed sword by 1 point, after all other modifiers, and this stacks with any other threat range adjustments.Level__BAB__Fort__Ref__Will__Special1_____+1____+0____+2___+0___Two-Weapon Defense, Dragon's Dive2_____+2____+0____+3___+0___Sharpened Claw of the Dragon3_____+3____+1____+3___+1___Wiles of the Dragon4_____+4____+1____+4___+1___Bite of the Dragon5_____+5____+1____+4___+1___Mastered Claw of the Dragon</blockquote>
