[QUOTE="Falcon, post: 595885, member: 1056"] Hey Folks, I am starting up a new campaign and have been working with a player on a specific PC Class, kinda part ranger, part nature's warrior thing, and we have reached somewhat of an impasse. He wants a bonus feat at first level, which I think overpowers the class He has reduced the HD to 8 from 10, and has offered to use the Fighter save progression. I will be adding the necessary prerequisites for Close Combat Shot and Banked-Shot. I'd like to see what you all think about the class. Me version has no 1st level bonus feat, fewer combat-oriented bonus feats, and Fast Passage at 4th level. Thanks in advance for your input. The hunter specializes in tracking and hunting animals of the wild. While his true love is the hunt, he sometimes ventures with others in search of that grand trophy.
