[QUOTE="RisnDevil, post: 2047820, member: 15160"] I don't neccessarily argue your reasoning for giving Mettle first, and I don't have a CW handy to check the hexblade, but I think Mettle is MUCH more powerful than Evasion, and should be given around lvl 6 (which just so happens to be where you have Evasion...:) ) like the Sohei does in OA. Did you come up with the skirmish ability? It seems to ring a bell from somewhere (maybe a feat)? Also, the bonus damage, is it per attack or do they give up all attacks to make ONE Skirmish attack? I think per attack would be better, but I would probably kick it back a level or two if you did that. Athletic Mastery is not a bad ability (good level placement too, I think) but it kinda comes out of nowhere. I suggest giving him some form of ability that he gets over three levels (say 6, 9, and 12) that at each level he chooses either Jump, Balance, or Tumble and gets a bonus to those checks. No one skill picked more than once. This way you kinda build up to that. I think the DR should increase every four levels, not five, for two reasons. One, starting it at eighth level they would still only have a DR of 4/- at level 20. Second, it is just easier mechanically since you started it at level eight... To grant the lesser True Certainty ability at level one, just bump the bonus feat to second level. (BTW, you seem to enjoy abilities that come at odd multiples don't you...?) You can leave the other bonus feats as is if you want to. BTW, just to be nit-picky, but in the description of Fearless you left it at 20th level... What BAB does the Monk have? (Sorry, I don't have ANY books handy...) Does he have Fighter or Cleric BAB? I was only asking to make sure and not overpower it because I think maybe he should have all three saves as good....though even if he has the same BAB as the Monk, he doesn't get the BUTLOAD of REALLY AWESOME abilities the Monk gets, so I think it would balance having three good saves. How do those changes sound? [/QUOTE]
