[QUOTE="kitcik, post: 5662427, member: 98256"] First, let me say that this is completely unrelated to Thomas Covenant, and I apologize to any fans who may have thought otherawise from the title. Second, let me say that I realize that certain of the class ability names are similar to or the same as existing D&D abilities. Please point these out and I will change them over time. Third, I recognize that this class is "broken" in comparison to other melee classes. My question - is it broken compared to full casters? Unbeliever PrC Requirements: BAB +5 No spellcasting ability (if spellcasting ability is ever gained, lose all Unbeliever class abilities forever) Class Skills: Same as fighter plus Spellcraft Unbelievers cannot have ranks in Use Magic Device or Use Psionic Device Weapon and Armor proficiency: same as fighter, plus gain proficiency in one exotic weapon of your choice HD: d12 Skill points: 4 + Int BAB: full Saves: Fort good, Will good, Reflex poor Abilities: 1st I DON'T THINK LIKE A CASTER 2nd SHRUG IT OFF 3rd fighter bonus feat, SPELL IMMUNITY (LESSER) 4th Blindsight 60' 5th IMPROVED SHRUG IT OFF 6th fighter bonus feat, SPELL IMMUNITY (MEDIUM) 7th CUT THE CRAP 8th IRON HEART SURGE (RAI) 9th fighter bonus feat, SPELL IMMUNITY (GREATER) 10th GET OUT OF MY HEAD, DIE CASTER DIE I DON'T THINK LIKE A CASTER: The Unbeliever cannot be scryed (or be subject to similar effects).
