[QUOTE="Mista Collins, post: 1007176, member: 13089"] I really like the idea of this class, but I see one thing I have a problem with. This PrC is strictly for a rogue. I understand that you are creating it based on one of your characters. Why not open it up to another class? Possibly Wizard? The reasoning I have behind this is that I see a wizard as a tutor and mentor also. Most Wizards are already maxed in some knowledge skills, so why not open it up to wizards. In order to do this you would have to change some of the requirements. 1. You would have to get rid of the sneak attack requirements 2. You would have to change the required ranks in diplomacy to 4 These changes won't affect the level in which a rogue can choose this PrC, so I wouldn't see the problem in these changes. If you still want to keep this PrC based on rogue's I would suggest on changing the name of it to something other than Skill Master. Maybe something like Teacher of the Night or something similar to that. I still think some of this is over powered. The tutor part being the main thing. And on top of that, the Transcendent skill. Say I have a skill bonus of +25 on my teaching skill, I would then technically role my d20 (say getting a 13) and would make a skill check of 38. This is enough to teach a feat and give a character a +28 bonus on his skills. I know the skill bonus is maxed by the Skill Masters ranks, but if it is for skills like jump, balance, pick pocket, open lock, tumble these are gonna be high as it is. And if you throw the Calm Nerves ontop of that I could be getting an 18 on my d20 every single time and thus giving someone an even bigger bonus. Another question I have. How long does it take to use the tutor skill? I know it last 24 hours, but how long does it take to teach a fighter how to open locks? How long does it take to teach a barbarian to Disable Device (not his normal smashing techinque). I do really like the leadership bonus also. This type of thing is used in the Warmaster PrC found in Sowrd & Fist. Overall I do like the idea of the PrC. [/QUOTE]
