[QUOTE="Thels, post: 1132389, member: 12176"] Oops, didn't notice it got on the 2nd page. Gotta get used to this 25 posts/page. I don't like Judge as it is. I'd rather see something special from it than just a bonus to an existing skill. I'm not really sure what the status of swordsmen is, so I can't make up anything myself yet. I also think there should be 1 bonus ability at each level other than the Judge ability. Improved Uncanny Dodge is simply fixed to Uncanny Dodge. Giving the one but not the other seems awkward to me. It also get's complicated when stacking with the barbarian for example. 4 feats seems too many for me. That means that if you're not a human and not a fighter, you can't access the PrC until level 10. I see no special reason for that. Power Attack out might be a good idea considering the nature of the PrC. Improved Initiative sounds fine. It only makes sense that the player picks up Weapon Focus on his own, and if he doesn't, well, his fault. Requiring a high Int is no real excuse for receiving a low amount of skillpoints. Maybe we should make it +4/level instead. I don't like two-handed weapon finesse. It makes the dex skill way too important for swordsmen. Just a high dex is enough to excel in everything. It might also let Block Attack go over the edge. Two-Handed Reach doesn't seem overpowered to me. It's kinda like the Spiked Chain, though it does more damage. It doesn't really seem to fit the class though. [/QUOTE]
