Message: <blockquote data-quote="Corlon" data-source="post: 1863371" data-attributes="member: 6905">I believe it's randori, but then again, for Japanese words I always use the romangi spelling.That's a pretty cool feat, and it embodies much better the exercise of Randori I think, but I think when I first made the prestige class it was called the "defensive master."  I basically made it just to have a cool sort of kung fu guy that could trip, disarm, and throw people around better than everyone else, and those other feats never seemed to do it for me.The defensive master just sounded really (pick one:  cliche, stupid, stock, etc.) so I decided to change it to the Randori master.Randori was an original inspiration (my dojo had done it a day or two before I made it up), but as with all DnD skills, it was completely blown out of proportion and by that I mean made into a cool class  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /> .As for the changes, how about:Any Size Defense 1 (1st leve):  When doing those actions, the Randori master suffers only one half the penalties for size, and his opponents gain only 3/4  their bonuses for size.Any Size Defense 2 (3rd level):  When doing those actions, the Randori master suffers only one quarter the penalties for size, and his opponents gain only 1/2 their bonuses for size.Any Size Defense 3(6th level):  When doing those actions, the Randori Master suffers no penalties for size, and his opponents gain only 1/4 their bonuses for size.Any Size Defense 4(9th level):  Ditto, no bonuses or penalties.With those changes, I don't think opportunistic fighting is all that good at all.  It uses an attack of opportunity, at 2nd level they still suffer a good deal for disarming, they can't use improved trip, and they can't initiate grapples yet, AND they can't toss yet(which is by far one of the coolest abilities of the Randori master IMHO).</blockquote>
