The whole idea of a class based on "confusing the opponents into fighting for you/not attacking you" seems like an interesting idea but could use a lot of work.The first thing I notice with this class is that the Courtesan's Mark ability seems extremely overpowered.So you can force the opponent to waste his move action? And possibly provoke several AOs? Or even go into a pit or something? And the opponent has no way to defend against this ability? And using this ability doesn't even take an action? And you can do it every round? No thanks.Now this one is closer to earth. It's similar to the fighter and paladin marks except it works in reverse. But the fighter and paladin marks don't completely control the other opponent; it just gives them a penalty. As for this one, perhaps something similar: maybe say that if the enemy attacks the Courtesan, the Courtesan gets to roll a Charisma vs. Will "attack", and if it "hits" the enemy is fooled by the Courtesan and refuses to attack (wasting his action). But you also have to decide what happens if the Courtesan and other non-Courtesan allies are all targeted by an AoE.+2 to all defenses? That seems overpowerd by itself. And is there any restriction on where the mark has to be in order to aid your defense?Any restrictions on where exactly the mark has to be to do this? And again this seems very powerful for an at-will ability that you can use every round. Also, how does this work with AOEs?Please clarify what this means. Does it mean the mark attacks its own teammates. Now this is WAY too powerful - it allows you to turn an enemy against his team automatically!With these abilities and a reasonably high Bluff skill, Courtesans will be getting CA on almost every attack. Is this really what you want? (And whatever you do, please don't let rogues get access to this ability via multiclassing.)Can you do this to everyone you Feinted, without using up any extra actions? Please be advised that with Courtesan's Tactics, almost all the adjacent enemies will be Feinted most of the time. Is this really what you are looking for?</blockquote>
