[QUOTE="Dastari, post: 3977582, member: 38358"] All right, I think that I've finally worked out all the details with this class. I'm giving them a lot of options by giving them access to a LOT of lower powered feats in addition to the very high powered abilities that I've given them. I think that this offsets their medium BA and the fact that they only have the good will save. I want to see what everyone thinks, so please comment.
