Odd. The forum ate my post...
I see what you mean. Still, 9ths at level 25 aren't that bad.
Well, I tried to make it comparable to Oskar's Fighter ACF that netted it a maneuver and a stance.... Maybe reduce it to one maneuver, and make the next one be two, so that they're relying on feats for stances...Quote:
As for the initiator boons, I really like the look of them. My only concern is whether they are so much better than most other 1st level boons that they become "no duh" choices, and that it makes the class even more of a "perfect Lightning Warrior" class. But I also really like ToB, and accept the fact that there's already a largely intentional power discrepancy between novice boons (Let's see, do I want scaling DR, a few extra spells known, or...a few lame class skills?). So I tentatively approve. They'd get bonus points if the boon name was also a card name :smallwink:
EDIT: WHAT THE @&#&!? How does that even...
And the post reappeared when I posted. Odd.
EDIT 2: Electric Boogaloo: Right. Here's the edited initiator boons.
