    Hi!
    I posted a new prestige class in the writer's guild. If you can, look it and give me your opinions.
    As I am from Brazil, there may be some grammar errors...

    Sir Justine, I assume you are speaking of the Officer of Müden`s Royal Navy.
    If not please re-direct me.

    You have the alignment as any lawful. That implies a very discipined
    officer corps.

    These guys are better than fighters by quite a degree. That get a fighter`s
    BAB, both Fort and Ref are improved, d10 hit die, but you can get into it
    with a +5 BAB, and three pretty common feats. I`d either increase the
    prerequisites to about +8 BAB and 11 ranks of Profession (Sailor) -leaving
    the rest as is, or I`d remove the requirement for the rapier weapon focus,
    and drop the hit dice to d8 and use a the rogue`s BAB progression.

    The Officer has a nice Leadership bonus, so I assume he is getting his
    cohorts installed on his ship.

    I might chance the bonus on "Seasoned Navigator" to competance, but you can
    make a case for insight. I usually reserve insight for something a little
    more supernatural than mere seasoning.

    Regarding "Sailor`s Reflexes" I`d either limit the bonus to being shipboard,
    or I`d only grant it after passing a Balance skill check with the DC being
    determined by the severity of the waves. Maybe he only gets the bonus
    against opponants with light weapons or medium weapons. I`d want to limit
    this a bit.

    For Seasoned and Master navigator, I would be inclined to determine the
    ship`s speed by the quality of the relevant skill checks. Having both a
    skill bonus and a speed multiplier turns the Royal Navy into a fleet of
    racing yachts. The speed multiplier may be intended to substitute for the
    skill check, but I am partial to using skills for such things.

    Nice PrC.

    Thanks for the report!
    So, you think it's too strong?
    Actually, I guess you are right. But before I change anything let's see if others have any opinion...

    I like this prestige class! :)

    I would decrease the d10 to d8 either. Any lawful is o.k. I think, since they are some kind of army. The idea of the BAB increasing is good, but may be to +7, not +8. The fighter`s BAB progression I would not change (fighter have many more feats to compare with this prestige class).

    I would limit " Sailors reflexes" too, but not with getting the bonus against opponants with light or medium weapons only (the idea with on ships only is a great, I think).


    Grammar errors? Whom interests this (there are more non native english speakers here) ;)
    May Khirdai always bless your sword and his lightning struck your enemies!
