[QUOTE="der_kluge, post: 1239790, member: 945"] Ok, I hate dredging up a nearly two-year old thread. (Ok, I don't hate it that much). But, I have the power to search, so too bad. :) Anyway, my current player is playing this, and he and I have both observed that we feel his current character is probably the weakest in the group. He's using the SpellSword as more of a SpellBOW kind of character - relying on his archery skills versus his sword skill. His argument, and I agree, is that the channel spell ability is nice, but given that you could *miss* with your melee attack, you lose that ability. So, that is a significant weakness to that ability that I think has been overlooked in this discussion. My thought to improve his class was: - reduce the overall armor check penalty reduction (maybe 10-15%) - add in another +1 spellcaster level - improve the BAB to Good - remove the brew potion (ala spellsword) ability (this is hard to implement IMC, because I've removed XP) - add in another bonus feat. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
