[QUOTE="Asmor, post: 2694942, member: 1154"] I agree that the 2 seperate columns for reserve and max you can spend are a little redundant, since they're the same base, but I think it's best to keep it that way to avoid confusion. There's no such thing as having too much information, and if it makes it a bit more clear to people that they're supposed to receive their modifiers from different ability scores, then I think it's worth it. The battle sense and spirit attack are the two things that I knew would really make or break this class... The other stuff is fun and flavorful, but those open up a whole lot of min-maxing potential. Spirit attack is the reason I gave the knight a cleric BAB instead of a full fighter BAB. I figured that this is supposed to be a fighting class, so giving it a worse BAB is a bit of a hit. Considering all the bonus feats a fighter gets, I think the ability to consistently have a large bonus to a moderate BAB is reasonably balanced. I was considering limiting the abilities to light armor anyways, I think I will toss that in there. My idea for this is class is an agile, mobile fighter, and I used rangers as my template while working it out. Regarding the spirit power names, do you think that they're too drab?
