[QUOTE="Vlos, post: 2464612, member: 15447"] Ok, comparing to a straight fighter, who gets a feat every other level as does your latest version it initially looks a bit overboard. [b]HD:[/b] d8 .vs. d10 (fighter) [b]Skill Points:[/b] 6 .vs. 2 (Explorer) [b]Saves:[/b] 3 Good .vs. 1 Good (Explorer) [b]Other:[/b] Luck .vs. able to take Weapon Spec (Explorer) So an explorer gets +4 Skill points and 3 good saves for a cost of an average of 1hp? And thats not even counting the other catagory. Yes the feats that they get to select are probably less combat orientated than a fighter, but overall on a number of feat selections, comparable. In looking closer at the feat selection though being that they require sacrificing Luck uses I think may balance it out. I would have to try it out. Still may be a bit up there. Thinking maybe drop skill points to 4, or again maybe make it two good saves Fort, Ref making Will a bad save. I would also add more Feats otherwise, being you only have 12 and the full Explorer gets to select 10 doesn't give you much in the form of varience. Some possible other feats: I tried to make the follow with prerequisites to make them harder to get but they may be a bit early (as compared to a Monk's). You could just put the requirement of Super Luck as Prerequisite to make them post 10th level. [b]Magical Luck [General][/b] Prerequisite: Luck Ability, Dumb Luck, Evade with Luck, Lucky Resiliency Benefit: Spend a use of your luck ability as a free action, to gain spell resistance of 10 + Explorer class levels for 1 round per Explorer level. [b]Lucky Dodge [General][/b] Prerequisite: Luck Ability, Improved Lucky Defense, Evade with Luck, Benefit: Spend a use of your luck ability as a free action, to shrug off damage (equal to 1/2 your Explorer Level rounded down) from a single melee attack. [i]Basic DR ability to luckily dodge an incoming blow.[/i] [/QUOTE]
