ToM: Shadowblade prc question/change

[korasukage]

Hi All

I was just wondering what everyone thought of the shadowblade prestige class. Is it something worth playing? Also, what niche would the class best fit? I was thinking rogue initially but then I realised that it doesn't have the required skills etc to be an effective rogue. So, I guess that leaves a martial type ... but it only has rogue BAB. Any thoughts on how to change the class to be more effective or am I missing something? All thoughts/comments welcome.

I was thinking about either increasing the BAB to fighter BAB or adding in more skills and skill points if I were to make it more "rogue" like. I might do both and simply call the full BAB version the Shadowknight. Do these ideas seem unbalanced?

Cheers
Kor

A lot of stuff in ToM was underpowered -- particularly the Shadow section. :\

I'll take a look later if I have time.
