[QUOTE="Khaalis, post: 739098, member: 2167"] I like the class idea as well, however I agree with some of the other people here in that I prefer a "Specialist" PrC to be in the 5 level range. Personally I would drop some of the free feats, especially the 2 Weapon styles from the class. You dont need this to be a Shield Master. If you DO want it, make the PC spend their normal feats or feats from Fighter to get it. This is basically what I would do with it. Lvl..BAB..Fort..Ref..Will..Special 1st..+1...+2....+0...+0....Improved Weapon Damage (Rename to "Improved Shield Damage"), Superior Weapon Focus 2nd..+2...+3....+0...+0....Greater Shield Defense +1 3rd..+3...+3....+1...+1...., Superior Weapon Specialization (Rename to "Superior Shield Specialization"), Great Shield Parry 4th..+4...+4....+1...+1....Superior Shield Charge 5th..+5...+4....+1...+1....Shield Knock-Down, Supreme Shield Mastery As for Supreme Shield Mastery I think what you did was fine. Since you are basically making an advanced Parry, here is an the "Parry" feat from [u]Swashbuckling Adventures[/u] modified for Shields instead of Sword or Dagger. [b]Parry:[/b] Once per round when you would normally be hit by a melee attack, you may make an attack roll against an AC equal to the opponent's attack roll to deflect the attack with your shield. You must be aware of the attack and not flat-footed. Using your feat does not count as an action. [/QUOTE]
