[QUOTE="Nifft, post: 458539, member: 6562"] One thing I didn't get a chance to work in was the use of Expertise. I'd planned on allowing OLH Monks to use Expertise to add to thier Reflex saves, and/or work as a Deflection Bonus to AC instead of an Insight Bonus. (Good points of Deflection vs. Insight: basically, when flat-footed. This would be the Monk's "walking around" mode.) As for arrows, since the Monk must make a Reflex save, some arrows will still get through. A Mnk2/OLH5 could deflect 10 arrows, but remember that a Fighter7 with Rapid Shot shoots three arrows per round, and a Hasted Fighter7 shoots four. Given how many shots a normal 7th level Fighter can throw, deflecting 10 arrows per round does not seem unreasonable to me. Finally, since Prestige Classes can be used for all sorts of non-prestigeous, downright icky things (e.g. Oozemaster), it's my opinion that some should start earlier than others. For example, if the Paladin were re-made as a Prestige class, I'd allow it starting at 3rd level. -- Nifft [/QUOTE]
