Edit: Oh, and Remuthra, you can't have 8 ranks in a Cross Class skill. You can only have 4, max, at 5th level.

[TealNinja]

What's your reasoning for disallowing Travel Devotion?

In any case, I now need to add Belt of Battle to my wishlist.

What, why?

[Tawa]

First sentence.

Edit: Oh, and Remuthra, you can't have 8 ranks in a Cross Class skill. You can only have 4, max, at 5th level.

What, why?

Because that's how skills work.

If you buy a class skill, your character gets 1 rank (equal to a +1 bonus on checks with that skill) for each skill point. If you buy other classes’ skills (cross-class skills), you get ½ rank per skill point.
Your maximum rank in a class skill is your character level + 3.
Your maximum rank in a cross-class skill is one-half of this number (do not round up or down).

[Remuthra]

Well blast. Swashbuckler has a terrible set of class skills.

[Tawa]

Well why do you think it's Tier 5?

[Remuthra]

Because it's basically a fighter without the bonus feats? I would have considered it tier 5 without the skill limitations.

[Tawa]

Wait, it didn't recognize your class skills.

It only has Bluff and Diplomacy there, you actually have Balance, Climb, Craft, Escape Artist, Jump, Profession, Sense Motive, Swim, Tumble, and Use Rope in addition.

That said, Fighter is low tier 5 (possibly Tier 4 if you minmax a little), so Swashbuckler is regular Tier 5 because they lack the bonus feats.

I've found something from the Player's Guide to Eberron, and had two questions:
1. Is it okay?
2. If so, do I lose the benefits if I lose my CON score later?

THE BLOODTOUCHED RITE
When an individual (usually an arcane spellcaster or a cleric) proves herself to be of particular worth to the undead leadership of the Blood of Vol, she is rewarded with participation in the Bloodtouched rite. Typically a character must be at least 3rd level to be so rewarded, though exceptions exist.
The ceremony requires a chalice brimming with blood donated by willing followers of the Blood of Vol. This chalice is the focus of extensive prayers, culminating when the officiating cleric channels negative energy into it. Once the chalice is prepared, it is passed around to the participants, who drink deeply from it.
A character who drinks from this chalice permanently loses 2 points of Constitution, but gains four benefits:

• Bonus hp equal to Charisma bonus (if any).
• +2 profane bonus on saves against poison, stunning, disease, death effects, and energy drain.
• +1 caster level on all necromancy spells.
• If the character is capable of rebuking undead, her effective cleric level for this ability is increased by 1.

The Constitution loss can't be prevented or reversed by any means. A creature without a Constitution score gains no benefit from the Bloodtouched rite.

Hm... I don't really understand the bonus HP thing so you'll have to explain that to me. Other than that though it looks alright. And if you lose the consitution bonus you are dead. So I don't think the blood would have any affect at that point.

How would fractional BAB work?

Duelist

Prerequisites: Weapon Finesse, Dodge, Dex 15

Benefit: You gain a +2 Dodge bonus to AC as well as a +1 competence bonus to attack rolls while wielding a one handed weapon melee weapon while your off-hand remains empty. Equipping a shield or another weapon in your off hand negates this bonus. Furthermore you can add your strength or your dexterity to damage rolls [whichever is higher].

Expert Duelist

Prerequisites: Duelist, +6 BAB, Dex 17

Benefit: You gain an additional +2 Dodge bonus to AC, an additional +1 to attack rolls, and your crit range increased by 1 [20 > 19-20] while wielding a one handed melee weapon. These bonuses are lost if you equip a shield or another weapon in your off hand.

Master Duelist

Prerequisites: Expert Duelist, +11 BAB, Dex 19

Benefit: You gain an additional +2 Dodge bonus to AC, an additional +1 to attack rolls, and your critical multiplier is increased by 1 [x2 > x3] while wielding a one handed melee weapon. These bonuses are lost if you equip a shield or another weapon in your off hand. In addition, if a creature of your size or less attacks you with a one handed weapon and the resulting attack roll [before modifiers] is 1 or less you may make an attack of opportunity versus that enemy.

Those sound fair to you? Also, you can have adaptive styles as a bonus feat I suppose.

Hm... Don't Keen and Improved Critical stack already? If they don't, they do now.

@Teal

Because I misread what it was actually doing. Sorry about that, yeah, you can take Travel Devotion. My apologies.

In that case, my sheet is done.

I'll be out of commission for the next ~26-32 hours.  Really lame work schedule for the next 2 days, followed hopefully by plans.

[Tawa]

Wait.

* Tawarochir realizes full ends of losing half the spells if he she takes Mindbender

I'm never taking that... unless the DM would be OK with removing the half casting progression part.

Though as much. Thanks for the clarification.

Can we have fractional BAB in this game? My BAB is really suffering from multiclassing.

How would fractional BAB work?

It's from Unearthed Arcana. Basically, instead of it being added as whole units, BAB is taken in fractions. Wizards, or any other class with Poor BAB, get +1/2 BAB each level. Rogues, with Average BAB, get +3/4. The same system applies to Saves.

[Nerjin]

Sure, I'll add Fractional BAB bonuses to the OP. This is retroactive obviously. Everyone should adjust their abiliities accordingly.

Ilandrinal Stormfeather the Rogue Scout (♂) is accepted.

[Tawa]

You never answered me.
