[QUOTE="Alex319, post: 4621354, member: 45678"] Since you only have the first two pages and no powers, there might not be a lot we can comment on, but I see a few issues: - Are Martialists going to be able to get magical weapon bonuses (or something equivalent) for their "body weapons"? They are going to need them in order to be remotely competitive at moderate to high levels. - The AC bonuses and resistances seem overpowered. Consider the following comparison: Level 30 full plate paladin with shield: 10 (base) + 15 (half level) + 20 (+6 godplate) + 2 (shield) = 47 AC Level 30 Martialist: 10 (base) + 15 (half level) + 7 (24 dex*) + 10 (+6 starleather) + 6 (bonus) = 48 AC *This assumes you start off with 16 and bump it up at each stat bump. So already you're getting a better AC than the current highest AC in the game, you get to keep both hands free, plus you get very good resistances to go with it. - It might be a better idea to simply reference the existing grab rules in the PHB, and provide bonuses to them, rather than essentially rewrite that section here, unless you want it to be different in someway.
