    Default Roar and the World Roars With You [3.5, Base Class, P.E.A.C.H.]

    Barbarian




    ”Scream! Scream until your heart has beat its last beat, and your voice has worn to a tiny scratch! Scream until your eyes bleed! Scream until the whole world screams! Scream at the stars! Scream at the moon! Scream at the burning sun! There is no anger, there is no pain. There is no hate, no fear, nobody who can hurt you. There is only RAGE! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!” – Krao’S


    Civilized people call them barbarians or beserkers. They fear, and hate. They respect and warn against. They wonder aloud at their rage, but do not understand. They do not heed the call, the voices of rage. They do not understand the pain that comes with anger, the pain of action, the pain of what is to come, the pain of not understanding.
    Adventures: Adventuring is a way to get rid of the pain. When in danger, one does not need to understand, to hear, to think of the future, or the anger that fills their lives. All you have to do is act. And try not to be killed of course. Adventures are places to throw away. Throw away your fear, your caution. Your life. They live in this place, this precariously balanced knife of a place, full of hate and fear. And love.
    Characteristics:They fight. They fight because they know nothing else. They rage; against the law, against what is “right” against good, against evil. They know not else how. They only understand anger. It fills and permeates them, filling them with power, and yet still leaving them empty. The only way for them to deal with their problems is to become angry. They seek nature, for peace, solitude, and a sense of whole. No one can hurt them in nature, without their permission. No one can harm them, or kill them, without their allowing it.
    Alignment: They hate the law. They also hate the swirling chaos of their emotions. They care not, they just hate. The law binds and seals, tears away and fills. The chaos swirls, and sucks, down beneath the roiling mass. Chaos confuses and confounds, confounds away the possibilities.
    Religion: Gods do not help the pain. Anger cannot be overcome by gods alone. It permeates them, corrupts them, and sucks away their power. Gods live by belief. Anger takes the belief away, and replaces it with mistrust, confusion and doubt. When all is said and done, hate will still be there. The gods may abandon, leave to fate, or dispose. The anger will still be there, waiting. Waiting for them to come back. Back into its loving embrace.
    Background: Anger does not just appear at birth. Anger must be fed, nurtured and healed, helped and harnessed. For them, it never goes away. Anger leads to hate, which leads to more anger. Anger never leaves. Anger stays. Anger never forgets. Anger lives on. Anger means that they can never forget, not until the greatest sun has gone beneath the ground for its final rest, and the last moon has left the sky forever, not until the gods themselves have gone, and the people are all dead. But even then, it will remain.
    Races: The rage does not choose to whom it comes. It reaches all, with its weathered and bony fingers. It encompasses them, and leaves them wanting more. Anger is like a drug. It fills and fills, and then leaves empty. It is eternal emptiness, full of a hard and sharp silence. A silence that cuts down to the bone.
    Other Classes: Their anger gets in the way of others. It tangles and messes, making obstacles and disasters. It makes it hard to speak, it chokes and twists. Anger does not want to be said. It does not want to be examined or thought of. It only wants vengeance and hatred. Anger does not seek redemption. Anger knows what it is, and what it is capable of.
    Role: They stay in the thick of battle. They want to throw away; their memories, their needs, their lives. They want to throw away it all. They want to throw away their anger, and do so with battle. They throw the anger from themselves, by throwing themselves into battle.


    Abilities: Strength and Constitution are important for the class’s role as a frontline fighter, and dexterity also helps on that front. A high Constitution also increases the Barbarians Rage Pool, and gives them higher hit points. Wisdom is important for several of the Barbarian’s class skills. Charisma and Intelligence are important for several Rage Abilities.
    Alignment: Any.
    Hit Die: d12

    Weapon and Armor Proficiencies: The Barbarian is proficient with all Simple and Martial weapons, and light and medium armor. They are not proficient with shields.

    Rage Pool (Ex): Whenever the Barbarian takes hit point damage, his rage pool fills with rage points equal to one-half of the damage (rounded down). His rage pool has a cap of total rage points allowed equal to his Barbarian levels, plus his constitution modifier. These rage points do not fade away unless they are used for abilities, or the encounter ends. His rage pool aumatically starts the encounter with a number of rage points equal to one fourth of his level, rounded down, minimum 1.

    The Barbarian can start a rage by spending a number of rage points equal to one-fourth his Barbarian levels, rounded down (minimum 1). Each round the Barbarian must pay 1 rage point, or the rage ends. During a rage, the Barbarian gains a +4 enhancement bonus to Strength and Dexterity, a +1 competence bonus to all Strength and Dexterity based skills, and a +2 bonus to will saves. During a rage, the Barbarian is unable to use any Intelligence or Charisma based checks, excepting Intimidate. After the rage is over, the Barbarian is fatigued for 1d4 rounds. He cannot start a new rage until he is no longer fatigued, but he can use any rage abilities that require rage points as normal.

    Rage Abilities (Ex): At every level described in the table, the Barbarian gains an additional rage ability (see: Rage Abilities). He must meet all prerequisites for the Rage Abilities. The Barbarian may not change rage abilities after he has chosen them. At fourth level, and once every fourth level thereafter, the Barbarian may choose to lose one Rage ability that they have chosen, and choose a single new Rage ability in its place. They must meet all of the prerequisites of the new Rage ability.

    Frenzied Strike (Ex): Starting at second level, every time the Barbarian successfully hits an opponent with a melee or ranged attack, or any time he makes a successful Bull Rush, Disarm, Feint, Grapple, Overrun, Sunder or Trip check, he gains a number of rage points equal to one fourth his Barbarian levels.

    Powerful Rage (Ex): Starting at fourth level, the bonuses from rage become +6 enhancement bonus to Strength and Dexterity, +2 competency bonus to Strength and Dexterity based skill checks, and a +3 bonus to will saves.

    Trap Sense (Ex): Starting at fourth level, the Barbarian has an intuitive sense that alerts him to danger from traps, giving him a +1 bonus on Reflex saves made to avoid traps and a +1 dodge bonus to Armor Class against attacks made by traps. These bonuses rise by +1 every three Barbarian levels thereafter (7th, 10th, 13th, 16th, and 19th level). Trap sense bonuses gained from multiple sources stack.

    Uncanny Dodge (Ex): At sixth level, the Barbarian gains the ability to react to danger before his senses would normally allow him to do so. He retains his Dexterity bonus to Armor Class (if any) even if he is caught flat-footed or struck by an invisible attacker. However, he still loses his Dexterity bonus to Armor Class if immobilized.

    If a Barbarian already has uncanny dodge from another source, he automatically gains improved uncanny dodge instead.

    Superior Rage (Ex): Starting at Eighth level, the bonuses from rage become +8 enhancement bonus to Strength and Dexterity, +3 competency bonus to Strength and Dexterity based skill checks, and a +4 bonus to will saves.

    Improved Uncanny Dodge (Ex): At level twelve and higher, the Barbarian can no longer be flanked; he can react to opponents on opposite sides of him as easily as he can react to a single attacker. This defense denies a rogue the ability to sneak attack the Barbarian by flanking him, unless the attacker has at least four more rogue levels than the target has Barbarian levels.

    If a character already has uncanny dodge from a second class, the character automatically gains improved uncanny dodge instead, and the levels from the classes that grant uncanny dodge stack to determine the minimum level a rogue must be to flank the character.

    Greater Rage (Ex): Starting at fourteenth level, the bonuses from rage become +10 enhancement bonus to Strength and Dexterity, +4 competency bonus to Strength and Dexterity based skill checks, and a +5 bonus to will saves.

    Tireless Rage (Ex): Starting at level sixteen, the Barbarian no longer becomes fatigued after his rage ends.

    Endless Rage (Ex): Starting at level eighteen, the Barbarian no longer must pay a rage point per round of raging; instead, he only has to pay the activation cost of the rage.

    Ultimate Rage (Ex): Starting at twentieth level, the bonuses from rage become +12 enhancement bonus to Strength and Dexterity, +5 competency bonus to Strength and Dexterity based skill checks, and a +6 bonus to will saves.



    Rage Abilities:

    If a rage ability mentions rage pool, it is your rage pool at the time of gaining the benefit. So, if a Barbarian 12, with a Constitution of 21 is hit for 25 damage, his rage pool fills to 12 rage points. If he has the Blitz rage ability, he gains a +6 bonus to all bull rush attempts. If he activates his rage by spending 3 rage points, his pool goes down to 9, and his bonus is +4 (of course, he still gains a bonus for extra strength from rage).

    Extra Rage Ability
    Prerequisites: Rage Pool class feature
    Benefits: You gain an additional Rage Ability. You must qualify for this rage ability in order to gain it's benefits.
    Special: This ability may be taken multiple times.




    I would love any new Rage Abilities you happen to think of or want to homebrew! I have about 32 right now and any new ones would be greatly appreciated! Also, I was trying to make a couple that gave ToB maneuvers (like the martial study and martial stance feats), but didn’t know how to word them.

    This is roughly made for Tier 3, for those who care. I understand that not necessarily all of the stuff that it has allows for that kind of flexibility, but that is also why I really want more Rage Abilities. I have several PrCs already made, but I want to “test the waters” so to speak, and see how this class is seen first.

    When I wrote that out, I imagined Krao'S breaking down into tears partway through, and then finishing it with the scream. Yeah.

    Very good image and the quote is just cool.

    -snip detail-
    Very interesting, much darker than what I normally like but it's an original angle. It personify the anger in a weird way alsmot like a possesing spirit or something it's an interesting idea.


    Abilities: Strength and Constitution are important for the class’s role as a frontline fighter, and dexterity also helps on that front. A high Constitution also increases the Barbarians Rage Pool, and gives them higher hit points. Wisdom is important for several of the Barbarian’s class skills. Charisma and Intelligence are important for several Rage Abilities.
    Describe like that they look very MAD but I will see with the abilities/

    Alignment: Any.
    Didn't this contradict the earlier fluff ?
    "They hate the law. They also hate the swirling chaos of their emotions. They care not, they just hate."

    If they hate both law and chaos, neutral would make sense, but chaos seem to fit best still.
    That said i don't much like alignement restriction on base class so i'm fine with any. (particulary because it cut of on some potentially nice multiclass option.)

    Hit Die: d12
    Normal.

    -snip image-
    Another very good one.

    Class Skills: Climb (Str), Craft (Int), Handle Animal (Cha), Hide (Dex), Intimidate (Cha), Jump (Str), Knowledge (Local) (Int), Knowledge (Nature) (Int), Listen (Wis), Move Silently (Dex), Ride (Dex), Spot (Wis), Survival (Wis), Swim (Str), and Tumble (Dex).
    Skill Points at 1st Level: (4+Intelligence Modifier)x4.
    Skill Points at Each Additional Level: 4+Intelligence Modifier.
    Same skill point but more choice, hide and move silently I understand for hunting but know (local) ?

    -snip table-
    Full Bab and good fort save, good will less so since they also get a bonus to will save from the rage. Not sure on that, what's the resonning ?

    Weapon and Armor Proficiencies: The Barbarian is proficient with all Simple and Martial weapons, and light and medium armor. They are not proficient with shields.
    Okay.

    Rage Pool (Ex): Whenever the Barbarian takes hit point damage, his rage pool fills with rage points equal to one-half of the damage (rounded down). His rage pool has a cap of total rage points allowed of his Barbarian levels, plus his constitution modifier. These rage points do not fade away unless they are used for abilities, or the encounter ends.
    niptick: allowed equal to his barbarian level.
    I don't much like the need to take damage to gain point, in some encounter where the enemy use save or suck abilities it could mean that you must deal with only your non rage ability. Perhaps giving a few point at the start of en encounter, not much but just enough to start with ?


    The Barbarian can start a rage by spending a number of rage points equal to one-fourth his Barbarian levels, rounded down (minimum 1). Each round the Barbarian must pay 1 rage point, or the rage ends. During a rage, the Barbarian gains a +4 enhancement bonus to Strength and Dexterity, a +1 competence bonus to all Strength and Dexterity based skills, and a +2 bonus to will saves. During a rage, the Barbarian is unable to use any Intelligence or Charisma based checks, excepting Intimidate. After the rage is over, the Barbarian is fatigued for 1d4 rounds. He cannot start a new rage until he is no longer fatigued, but he can use any rage abilities that require rage points as normal.
    Okay, I big NO enhancement bonus ! This mean that you can't benefit from any magic item or spell from friendly caster unless you have a very good reason, possible, I advise to change that. If you really want to give a type to the bonus moral could work but untype seem fine to me.
    You remove the concentration limitation and the inability to cast spell, seem weird. It make perfect sense.

    Rage Abilities (Ex): At every level described in the table, the Barbarian gains an additional rage ability (see: Rage Abilities). He must meet all prerequisites for the Rage Abilities.
    Look promising, we'll se when we get there.
    Do you gain all the ability you qualify for or do you need to learn them like spell or invocation and if so they're no mean to change them later ?

    Frenzied Strike (Ex): Starting at second level, every time the Barbarian successfully hits an opponent with a melee or ranged attack, he gains a number of rage points equal to one fourth his Barbarian levels.
    Ah that help with the point.

    Powerful Rage (Ex): Starting at fourth level, the bonuses from rage become +6 enhancement bonus to Strength and Dexterity, +2 competency bonus to Strength and Dexterity based skill checks, and a +3 bonus to will saves.
    Much sooner than normal barbarian. Perhaps even too soon but it's hard to tell. Still fourth seem early to me.

    Trap Sense (Ex): Starting at fourth level, the Barbarian has an intuitive sense that alerts him to danger from traps, giving him a +1 bonus on Reflex saves made to avoid traps and a +1 dodge bonus to Armor Class against attacks made by traps. These bonuses rise by +1 every three Barbarian levels thereafter (7th, 10th, 13th, 16th, and 19th level). Trap sense bonuses gained from multiple sources stack.
    Okay.

    Uncanny Dodge (Ex): At sixth level, the Barbarian gains the ability to react to danger before his senses would normally allow him to do so. He retains his Dexterity bonus to Armor Class (if any) even if he is caught flat-footed or struck by an invisible attacker. However, he still loses his Dexterity bonus to Armor Class if immobilized.

    If a Barbarian already has uncanny dodge from another source, he automatically gains improved uncanny dodge instead.
    Standard.

    Superior Rage (Ex): Starting at Eighth level, the bonuses from rage become +8 enhancement bonus to Strength and Dexterity, +3 competency bonus to Strength and Dexterity based skill checks, and a +4 bonus to will saves.
    This seem to be a little soon too.

    Improved Uncanny Dodge (Ex): At level twelve and higher, the Barbarian can no longer be flanked; he can react to opponents on opposite sides of him as easily as he can react to a single attacker. This defense denies a rogue the ability to sneak attack the Barbarian by flanking him, unless the attacker has at least four more rogue levels than the target has Barbarian levels.

    If a character already has uncanny dodge from a second class, the character automatically gains improved uncanny dodge instead, and the levels from the classes that grant uncanny dodge stack to determine the minimum level a rogue must be to flank the character.
    Okay.

    Greater Rage (Ex): Starting at fourteenth level, the bonuses from rage become +10 enhancement bonus to Strength and Dexterity, +4 competency bonus to Strength and Dexterity based skill checks, and a +5 bonus to will saves.
    At this level it seem almost fine but still +10.

    Tireless Rage (Ex): Starting at level sixteen, the Barbarian no longer becomes fatigued after his rage ends.
    Normal.

    Endless Rage (Ex): Starting at level eighteen, the Barbarian no longer must pay a rage point per round of raging; instead, he only has to pay the activation cost of the rage.
    Very good.

    Ultimate Rage (Ex): Starting at twentieth level, the bonuses from rage become +12 enhancement bonus to Strength and Dexterity, +5 competency bonus to Strength and Dexterity based skill checks, and a +6 bonus to will saves.
    At this level I have no complaint.

    -snip image-
    My favorite of the lot, I wonder why.

    Rage Abilities:

    If a rage ability mentions rage pool, it is your rage pool at the time of gaining the benefit. So, if a Barbarian 12, with a Constitution of 21 is hit for 25 damage, his rage pool fills to 12 rage points. If he has the Blitz rage ability, he gains a +6 bonus to all bull rush attempts. If he activates his rage by spending 3 rage points, his pool goes down to 9, and his bonus is +4 (of course, he still gains a bonus for extra strength from rage).
    Okay seem clear. A few question:
    Do you need to spend the rage point for the ability each round of the rage in addition to the one to maintain it or does it last until the end of the rage.
    If you don't need to spend point on the ability do you gain the benefit even when not raging ?

    Benefits: You make a melee touch attack. If it is successful, the target must attack you for the duration of the encounter.
    Cost: 1 rage point.
    Hum, what ?!
    That's way too strong for a first level ability.
    No save ? no skill check even ?
    Can the creature do other thing other than attack, like heal itself or an ally, can it chose any mean of attack ? Must it be melee attack ?
    You need to work on that one, look at the knight in the PHBII. it's is main class feature and it's not as strong.

    Intimidating Glare

    Benefits: Whenever you take a penalty to attack rolls with the Power-attack feat, you deal an extra 2 damage per -1 penalty taken. This does not stack with any other Power-attack enhancing effect. If you did not have the Power-attack feat before taking this ability, you gain it. If you did, it instead provides 3 damage per -1 penalty. It still does not stack with other enhancing effects.
    The wording is weird, I would have gone with something like that:
    "You gain power attack as a bonus feat and it's benefit are enhance, you deal an extra 2 damage per -1 penalty taken. If you already add the feat before gaining this ability this instead increase to 3 damage per - penality"

    Or something like that, but the second part is still probably too much.

    Also what happen if you wield a two hand weapon ?

    Cost: All rage points.
    Very good.



    I would love any new Rage Abilities you happen to think of or want to homebrew! I have about 32 right now and any new ones would be greatly appreciated! Also, I was trying to make a couple that gave ToB maneuvers (like the martial study and martial stance feats), but didn’t know how to word them.
    You could just give martial study as a bonus feat but with an initiator level for purpose of that maneuver equal to their barbarian level.
    No other idea at the moment.

    This is roughly made for Tier 3, for those who care. I understand that not necessarily all of the stuff that it has allows for that kind of flexibility, but that is also why I really want more Rage Abilities. I have several PrCs already made, but I want to “test the waters” so to speak, and see how this class is seen first.
    It's hard to judge the tier but it stronger than the standard barbarian that's for sure. Some abilties really need balancing but apart from that it's nice.
    If i don't peach the Prc don't hesitate to send me a pm.
    Latest homebrew: The Avatars of Magic, powerful monster each dedicated to ne school of magic.

    Default Re: Roar and the World Roars With You [3.5, Base Class, P.E.A.C.H.]

    I suppose I should have mentioned this as a foreword or an afterthought; this class is meant to represent anyone who feels some sort of rage or anger, and then uses it in order to fight. For instance, one prestige class I made was the Templar, who channels his rage into destroying the evil and impure. This could be a soldier with PTSD, a constable who's family was killed, a scout who can't control his anger; anyone. As the barbarian is currently, it really doesn't do that all that well, and sort of fails to represent varied archetypes, and doesn't even manage to make very different characters crunch-wise, and that is always something that has been sort of a disappointment for me.

    Anyway.

    Yeah, well, that was sort of to show exactly how twisted having so much anger and rage makes a person. Living, fighting, and dying based solely on anger, and for some characters to the point of excluding all other emotions, does not, a healthy psyche make.



    Quote Originally Posted by zagan View Post

    Yeah, I didn't want to make them completely physical abilities only. They get even more MAD with the prestige classes, but then they also start to not care so much about other secondary scores. Hopefully it evens out.

    Anger doesn't define itself along the axes of law and chaos. I would argue that anger supersedes them. To be sure, neutral would probably be better, but like you said yourself; I dislike alignment restrictions a lot. And a knight who channels his anger into protecting others, often to the point of racism and exclusion if he feels that others might harm a member of his "group" or be evil, is a pretty interesting character.

    Their minds steel themselves against outside forces by channeling their anger. Also happens to be the reasoning for them gaining the Mindblank rage ability. Also, a good reflex doesn't make sense mechanically for someone who is actually sort of intent on having damage dealt to them. For the prestige classes that are more skirmisher/scouts, those gain a better reflex save, so I figure it all evens out.

    Thanks for catching that.
    This is alleviated by the Frenzied Strike class ability, the Evasion rage ability (if they decide to get it). Maybe. I was thinking that at higher levels, the Barbarian might gain a set number of rage points per round, probably like 1. Thoughts?

    Actually, that was my exact thinking. It makes almost no sense at all that someone so focused on rage and anger, which is an entirely personal and self centered concept, would have to rely on magical items. The rage ability progression was sped up because of that.

    Do you gain all the ability you qualify for or do you need to learn them like spell or invocation and if so they're no mean to change them later ?
    There is no means to change them, unless you use the retraining rules. I will add that in.


    Quote Originally Posted by zagan View Post

    Yup. Almost all of the prestige classes also progress Frenzied Strike as well.


    Quote Originally Posted by zagan View Post

    Again, this is mostly because the Barbarian does not have access to normal magical items with an enhancement bonus. Actually, this Barbarian is worse off in that sense; if you think about it, at level 20, the WotC version has a +8 bonus to Strength, and if he buys a manual and belt, he has a +19 to Strength, plus his normal level increases, plus his base. So, that is at the very least 42 strength while raging. Compare that to this Barbarian. He only has level based, plus manual, plus rage. That is a total of 12+5+5, plus his base. So, during a rage, he has 40 strength. He can use a belt, for out of combat purposes, but he gains no use for it in combat, which makes sense, because if a barbarian is using anger and rage, why would he want to rely on something besides himself during combat?

    If a rage ability does not have a cost, it is permanent, and always in function. some depend on rage pool, which is always your current rage pool.

    You need to work on that one, look at the knight in the PHBII. it's is main class feature and it's not as strong.
    Hurgh, I knew I should have read through that ability. Basically, I wanted some way for it to make sure that it takes damage all encounter. Maybe they must make an intimidate check, and if they succeed, the target must attack them, choosing the method, but must attack? And the knight is just a bad class. Honestly. Almost every creature by level 8 will have Mind-blank, and their almost only class ability has just been negated. Yippee. Also, not too many early monsters have an intelligence of more than 4, and those who appear later on usually have mindblank, or immunity to mind-affecting abilities.

    It was based on the beta Pathfinder Barbarian rage power. I have it changed now, 1d4 rounds, plus 1 round per 5 DC you beat your opponents check by.

    Or something like that, but the second part is still probably too much.
    a bonus feat (even a little late) and an increase in effect is probably enough.
    Also what happen if you wield a two hand weapon ?
    OK. I will add that in. I based it on the improved power attack class ability of the Frenzied Berserker, and it has no clause. Maybe get rid of the second part of yours, and add in a clause that states that it is 3 per penalty if it is utilized with two handed weapons.

    Well, the fact that bite attacks in D&D are always .5 if you have multiple always struck me as stupid, considering how insanely powerful some creature's bites are. Also, by that point, the Barbarian must have the Ferality (Claws) rage ability in order to have the (Bite) rage ability, so they already have two natural attacks.

    At that level, 5 rage points is probably 1/4 of their total rage pool, and they must take 10 points of damage in order to use it, or hit at least twice, and if they did that, they wouldn't be able to use their rage unless they got hit, or hit again, and considering a large part of their attack modifier comes from their rage, it doesn't seem that bad to me.

    I don't think so. Also, edited in that it doesn't stack with non-Extra Attack line of rage ability extra attacks.

    As is it's alright, because you select your rage ability depending on your score.

    Their minds steel themselves against outside forces by channeling their anger. Also happens to be the reasoning for them gaining the Mindblank rage ability. Also, a good reflex doesn't make sense mechanically for someone who is actually sort of intent on having damage dealt to them. For the prestige classes that are more skirmisher/scouts, those gain a better reflex save, so I figure it all evens out.
    Well yeah but that's reprsent by the bonus to will save during rage no ?

    Thanks for catching that.
    This is alleviated by the Frenzied Strike class ability, the Evasion rage ability (if they decide to get it). Maybe. I was thinking that at higher levels, the Barbarian might gain a set number of rage points per round, probably like 1. Thoughts?
    Thinking about it with frenzied strike it should be alright and if you gain 1 point per round the endless rage ability doesn't make sense anymore.

    Actually, that was my exact thinking. It makes almost no sense at all that someone so focused on rage and anger, which is an entirely personal and self centered concept, would have to rely on magical items. The rage ability progression was sped up because of that.
    I suppose.
    I also mentionned the concentration skill and spellcasting what's the reasoning for that ?

    There is no means to change them, unless you use the retraining rules. I will add that in.
    Okay, so you need to chose well.

    Yup. Almost all of the prestige classes also progress Frenzied Strike as well.
    Kay.

    Again, this is mostly because the Barbarian does not have access to normal magical items with an enhancement bonus. Actually, this Barbarian is worse off in that sense; if you think about it, at level 20, the WotC version has a +8 bonus to Strength, and if he buys a manual and belt, he has a +19 to Strength, plus his normal level increases, plus his base. So, that is at the very least 42 strength while raging. Compare that to this Barbarian. He only has level based, plus manual, plus rage. That is a total of 12+5+5, plus his base. So, during a rage, he has 40 strength. He can use a belt, for out of combat purposes, but he gains no use for it in combat, which makes sense, because if a barbarian is using anger and rage, why would he want to rely on something besides himself during combat?
    But this also mean that they have more money for other thing, they just have more choice. it's not a bad thing but they will still lit like christmas tree under detect magic so they're still dependdant on magic item just different one and perhaps more or them.

    If a rage ability does not have a cost, it is permanent, and always in function. some depend on rage pool, which is always your current rage pool.
    Okay.

    Continued in the spoiler:

    Hurgh, I knew I should have read through that ability. Basically, I wanted some way for it to make sure that it takes damage all encounter. Maybe they must make an intimidate check, and if they succeed, the target must attack them, choosing the method, but must attack? And the knight is just a bad class. Honestly. Almost every creature by level 8 will have Mind-blank, and their almost only class ability has just been negated. Yippee. Also, not too many early monsters have an intelligence of more than 4, and those who appear later on usually have mindblank, or immunity to mind-affecting abilities.
    The new version seem fine. Action need for the check ?
    Wording a little vague, how about:
    "If your check is higher, for the duration of the duration of the encounter, each round the target must try to attack you by any mean at his disposition."
    Also can they still do AOO against other creature ?
    The shaken on your part is nice, probably won't come up often but it's a good balancing mecanique.
    And yes the knight is not a great class but if yours replace it with one ability it's just really bad form.

    It was based on the beta Pathfinder Barbarian rage power. I have it changed now, 1d4 rounds, plus 1 round per 5 DC you beat your opponents check by.
    Way better now, standard action ?

    I wanted to make it so that ranged Barbarians were possible. I am working on the ranged Barbarian PrC now.
    In that case perhaps limit it to range weapon ?

    Yup. Any ability that doesn't have a rage cost is always active. And no, I forget to add it in, it does not stack.
    Good.

    OK. I will add that in. I based it on the improved power attack class ability of the Frenzied Berserker, and it has no clause. Maybe get rid of the second part of yours, and add in a clause that states that it is 3 per penalty if it is utilized with two handed weapons.
    New wording is much better.


    The first one. Added in.
    Great.

    Well, the fact that bite attacks in D&D are always .5 if you have multiple always struck me as stupid, considering how insanely powerful some creature's bites are. Also, by that point, the Barbarian must have the Ferality (Claws) rage ability in order to have the (Bite) rage ability, so they already have two natural attacks.
    Miss that requirement, it's fine then.

    At that level, 5 rage points is probably 1/4 of their total rage pool, and they must take 10 points of damage in order to use it, or hit at least twice, and if they did that, they wouldn't be able to use their rage unless they got hit, or hit again, and considering a large part of their attack modifier comes from their rage, it doesn't seem that bad to me.

    I guess. Probably a level 1 rage ability, able to be taken multiple times.
    Yeah.

    Oh, well, if the Barbarian is actually channeling his anger, that would require a lot of focus and concentration. And to be honest, not being able to doesn't make much sense. "Oh man, he is so angry that he can't even concentrate on anything!"

    I understand that, but Strength is like an integral thing to most warriors. It is how powerful you are, how strong you are. Using magic for other things, I can see. Using it for something like your ability, your base, doesn't make much sense to me.

    First prestige class!

    Stoneskinned



    ”Stone is hard, and unforgiving. Stone remembers. Stone cannot forget.”

    The Stoneskinned is a martial warrior who has dedicated their lives to channeling their rage into a shield, around them, and their minds. They protect themselves by hating everything. Most try to emulate the gargoyle, one who has become completely stone, and who still can move. They try to turn their hatred into a stone skin. Those who master the ways succeed.

    Weapon Proficiencies: The Stoneskinned does not gain any proficiencies.

    Rage Pool: The Stoneskin’s class levels and barbarian levels stack for determining:
    • Rage Pool size
    • Rage Abilities gained


    Damage Reduction (Ex): The Stoneskinned gains damage reduction 2/-- at first level, which increases by 2 every other level afterward (4/-- at level 3, 6/-- at level 5, and so on). Every point of damage reduce by damage reduction gains the Stoneskinned 1 rage point.

    Stoneskin (Ex): The Stoneskinned slowly becomes like those it emulates, the gargoyles, over his career. At first level the Stoneskinned’s skin hardens, granting him a natural armor bonus to his Armor Class equal to one half of his Stoneskinned levels (minimum 1). At fourth level, he gains claws made of stone. They deal 1d10 damage plus his strength modifier, and gain a bonus to attack and damage rolls equal to one half of his Stoneskinned levels (rounded down). At seventh level, he gains wings, and gains a fly speed of 5 times his Stoneskinned levels in feet, with a maneuverability of average. At tenth level, he completes the full transformation. He becomes immune to poison and petrification. He gains the earth subtype, and a burrow speed of 20 feet per round. His claw attacks now deal 2d6 damage plus his strength modifier.

    Stone Rage (Ex): Starting at level two, the Stoneskinned can activate his stone rage by spending rage points equal to one half his Stoneskinned levels, as a swift action. During his rage, the Stone Stoneskinned gains extra damage reduction (stacks with all other forms of damage reduction) of Constitution modifier/Adamantine. He also gains a +6 enhancement bonus to Constitution and Strength, as well as a +3 bonus to fortitude saves. It costs 1 rage point per round in order to maintain the stone rage, and the Stoneskinned is fatigued for 2d4 rounds after his rage ends. He cannot start a stone rage while he is fatigued. The Stoneskinned may not use the standard Barbarian rage while using stone rage.

    Sever the Cord (Ex): Starting at sixth level, the Stoneskinned may, as a swift action, spend 4 rage points in order to have their next attack this turn deal 2d4 constitution damage, in addition to the normal damage.

    Graniteskin (Ex): Starting at level eight, by spending 6 rage points, the Stoneskinned gains hardness 20 for a number of rounds equal to his Constitution modifier. This ability may only be used 1 per encounter. Each point of damage negated by this ability adds one rage point to the Stoneskinned’s rage pool. If the Stoneskinned is killed while under the effect of this ability he can only be ressurect using a True Resurrection, Wish, or Miracle Spell.

    Granite Rage (Ex): The bonuses from Stone Rage become +8 enhancement bonus to Constitution and Strength, and a +4 bonus to fortitude saves.

    I'm not sure on jump as prereq I understand it's to imitate flying but once you gain the fly speed it become useless. Perhaps hide instead ? gargoyles can hide pretty well.

    -snip skill-
    nice list

    -HD, Bab, save-
    Fine.

    Rage Pool: The Stoneskinned’s levels stack with his Barbarian levels for determining his barbarian level for rage abilities, his rage pool cap, and when he gets rage abilities. So, a Barbarian 5/Stoneskinned 6 gains a rage ability that level, and has 6 rage abilities in total.
    Normal.

    Damage Reduction (Ex): The Stoneskinned gains damage reduction 2/-- at first level, which increases by 2 every other level afterward (4/-- at level 3, 6/-- at level 5, and so on). Every point of damage reduce by damage reduction gains the Stoneskinned 1 rage point.
    Make sense too.

    Stoneskin (Ex): The Stoneskinned slowly becomes like those it emulates, the gargoyles, over his career. At first level the Stoneskinned’s skin hardens, granting him a natural armor bonus to his Armor Class equal to one half of his Stoneskinned levels (minimum 1).
    Good but may end up counterproductive because, the higher your AC is the less often you take damage and your rage pool doesn't regenerate. But it's not a huge deal.

    At fourth level, he gains claws made of stone. They deal 1d10 damage plus his strength modifier, and gain a bonus to attack and damage rolls equal to one half of his Stoneskinned levels (rounded down).
    Why that much damage and not based on size ? The bonus on attack and damge is untyped ?

    At seventh level, he gains wings, and gains a fly speed of 5 times his Stoneskinned levels in feet, with a maneuverability of average.
    Fine.

    At tenth level, he completes the full transformation. He becomes immune to poison and petrification. He gains the earth subtype, and a burrow speed of 20 feet per round. His claw attacks now deal 2d6 damage plus his strength modifier.
    Gargoyles don't have a burrow speed why give one ? Note it's flavorfull so i have nothing against it but it's curious.

    Stone Rage (Ex): Starting at level two, the Stoneskinned can activate his stone rage by spending rage points equal to one half his Stoneskinned levels, as a swift action. During his rage, the Stone Stoneskinned gains extra damage reduction (stacks with all other forms of damage reduction) of Constitution modifier/Adamantine. He also gains a +6 enhancement bonus to Constitution and Strength, as well as a +3 bonus to fortitude saves. It costs 1 rage point per round in order to maintain the stone rage, and the Stoneskinned is fatigued for 2d4 rounds after his rage ends. He cannot start a stone rage while he is fatigued.
    Can you be in stone rage and standard rage at the same time ? (the str bonus don't stack but you get the str, dex and con that way plus the other bonus.) Not overporewerd but you need to say if it's possible.

    Sever the Cord (Ex): Starting at sixth level, the Stoneskinned may, as a swift action, spend 4 rage points in order to have their next attack this turn deal 2d4 constitution damage, in addition to the normal damage.
    Weird name. Fine otherwise.

    Steelskin (Ex): Starting at level eight, by spending 6 rage points, the Stoneskinned gains hardness 30 for a number of rounds equal to his Constitution modifier. This ability may only be used 1 per encounter. Each point of damage negated by this ability adds one rage point to the Stoneskinned’s rage pool. If the Stoneskinned takes damage equal to his total hit points while this ability is in effect, he shatters, breaking into thousands of tiny fragments, and cannot be resurrected by normal means, only by a True Resurrection, Wish, or Miracle Spell.
    30 seem like a lot, even adamantine only have 20. For the damage do you count only the damage dealt after applying the hardness or total ?

    Granite Rage (Ex): The bonuses from Stone Rage become +8 enhancement bonus to Constitution and Strength, and a +4 bonus to fortitude saves.
    Fine.

    A nice Prc with an interesting flavor, a little more fluff on how you just transformed into a gargoyles might be nice but it's fine otherwise.

    Mostly because like every other creature with the Earth subtype does have it, and it never made sense for me that the Gargoyle doesn't.

    I can lower it. After applying the hardness. Anything negated by the hardness doesn't actually deal any damage, so it wouldn't matter. Basically, what I was saying is, if they die while this is in effect, it is pretty hard to bring them back.

    Hum. The idea was that they simply harden their skin after years and years of practice. They noticed the Gargoyles, who have naturally harder skin, and try to emulate them. Their focus brought about their own transformation.

    Mostly because like every other creature with the Earth subtype does have it, and it never made sense for me that the Gargoyle doesn't.
    True.

    I can lower it. After applying the hardness. Anything negated by the hardness doesn't actually deal any damage, so it wouldn't matter. Basically, what I was saying is, if they die while this is in effect, it is pretty hard to bring them back.
    20 should work it's powerfull but it fine the theme really well.
    Also if your intend is to make it hard for them to be ressurect if kill in this state you need to change the wording to make it clear, such as.
    "If the Stoneskinned is killed while under the effect of this ability he can only be ressurect using ...."
    Also I forget to ask but does the DR still apply ?

    Templar.
    No, this is definitely not a bump. Definitely not.

    Templar



    ”Bow beneath the weight of judgment, and pray that the light does not eat you, filth of evil!” Soncrux, Templar of the northern wastes.

    The Templar is a holy warrior who focuses his rage into a divine area, using extreme discipline instead of raw fury. The Templar exists as a beacon of zealotry and good, fighting evil wherever it is found. They tend to work alone, fighting crime and villains as if they were above the law, to the consternation of local police forces.

    Weapon Proficiencies: The Templar does not gain any proficiencies.

    Crusade (Ex): The Templar can focus his anger against the impure and evil as a swift action by spending rage points equal to one half his Templar levels (minimum 1). He gains a +6 enhancement bonus to strength, and a +3 competency bonus to attack and damage rolls, and a +5 bonus to Sense Motive, Diplomacy, Intimidate and Bluff checks.

    Rage Pool (Ex): The Templar’s class levels and barbarian levels stack for determining:
    • Rage Pool size
    • Frenzied Strike progression


    Focused Smite (Ex): Starting at second level, the Templar may spend 2 rage points, as an immediate action, and his next melee or ranged attack is a smite. The attack roll for that attack gains a bonus to it equal to the Templar’s Charisma modifier. The smite deals extra damage depending on the alignment of the opponent. If the opponent is not evil, the smite deals 1d6 damage per two Templar levels. If they are evil, it deals 1d6 damage per Templar level. If they are a non-evil outsider, it deals 1d6 damage per Templar level, and if they are an evil outsider, it deals 2d6 damage per Templar level.

    Crusade Ability (Ex): At every level described in the table, the Templar gains an additional crusade ability (see: Crusade Abilities). He must meet all prerequisites for the crusade Abilities.

    Cloak of Faith (Ex): Starting at fourth level, the Templar adds his Charisma modifier to his saving throws and Armor Class, as a sacred bonus.

    Aura of Zealotry (Ex): Starting at level six, the Templar can activate an Aura of Zealotry, by spending 4 rage points and spending his move action, which has a radius of 20 feet, and gives all good creatures in the area a sacred bonus to attack and damage rolls, and all saving throws equal to the Templar’s Charisma modifier. Neutral creatures gain no benefit, and evil creatures take a sacred penalty to attack and damage rolls, and all saving throws equal to the Templar’s Charisma modifier. This effect lasts a number of rounds equal to the Templar’s Charisma modifier, and may only be activated once per encounter.

    No Rest For the Wicked (Ex): Starting at level 8, as a full round action, the templar can release his righteous anger in a mighty blow to all those within 20 feet. The Templar must spend all rage points to use this ability, and it deals damage to all those within 20 feet equal to 1d6 per 2 points of rage used (rounded down), and the targets must make a fortitude save (DC 10 + Templar levels + Charisma modifier) or be stunned for 2d6 rounds.

    Divine Form (Ex): At level ten, the templar becomes a supreme being of good and law. He becomes and outsider with the Good, Law, and Native subtypes. He gains a fly speed of 60 feet (Perfect), as giant billowing wings spring from his shoulders, and he constantly has an Aura of Truth, as the Zone of Truth spell, with a caster level equal to his hitdice. All attacks he makes are infused with holy fire, and deal damage equal to his rage pool plus his Templar levels, half of which is fire damage, and half of which is holy damage.

    Nice fluff.

    Okay.

    -snip skill-
    Seem fine, note on formating you've skipped line for no reason.

    -snip table-
    hd and Bab seem fine.

    Crusade (Ex): The Templar can focus his anger against the impure and evil as a swift action by spending rage points equal to one half his Templar levels (minimum 1). He gains a +6 enhancement bonus to strength, and a +3 competency bonus to attack and damage rolls, and a +5 bonus to Sense Motive, Diplomacy, Intimidate and Bluff checks.
    same question as stone child can you use both this and standard rage ?

    Rage Pool (Ex): The Templars class levels and barbarian levels stack for determining the size of their rage pool. They do not gain rage abilities unless they take more levels in barbarian, though. This ability also advances the rage points he gets from Frenzied Strike, as if he had more barbarian levels equal to his Templar levels.
    Normal.

    Focused Smite (Ex): Starting at second level, the Templar may spend 2 rage points, as an immediate action, in order to smite an opponent as a melee or ranged attack. The attack roll for that attack gains a bonus to it equal to the Templar’s Charisma modifier. The smite deals extra damage depending on the alignment of the opponent. If the opponent is not evil, the smite deals 1d6 damage per two Templar levels. If they are evil, it deals 1d6 damage per Templar level. If they are a non-evil outsider, it deals 1d6 damage per Templar level, and if they are an evil outsider, it deals 2d6 damage per Templar level.
    Does the attack is an immediate action or only spending the point to affect the next attack ? You need to clarify that.

    Crusade Ability (Ex): At every level described in the table, the Templar gains an additional crusade ability (see: Crusade Abilities). He must meet all prerequisites for the crusade Abilities.
    We'll se when we get there. Formating niptick: you skip two line betwen that and next ability.

    Cloak of Faith (Ex): Starting at fourth level, the Templar adds his Charisma modifier to his saving throws and Armor Class, as a sacred bonus.
    Does it stack with paladin ability ?

    Aura of Zealotry (Ex): Starting at level six, the Templar can activate an Aura of Zealotry, by spending 4 rage points, which has a radius of 20 feet, and gives all good creatures in the area a sacred bonus to attack and damage rolls, and all saving throws equal to the Templar’s Charisma modifier. Neutral creatures gain no benefit, and evil creatures take a sacred penalty to attack and damage rolls, and all saving throws equal to the Templar’s Charisma modifier. This effect lasts a number of rounds equal to the Templar’s Charisma modifier, and may only be activated once per encounter.
    Very good ! What action is need to activate it ?

    No Rest For the Wicked (Ex): Starting at level 8, as a full round action, the templar can release his righteous anger in a mighty blow to all those within 20 feet. The Templar must spend all rage points to use this ability, and it deals damage to all those within 20 feet equal to 1d6 per 2 points of rage used (rounded down), and the targets must make a fortitude save (DC 10 + Templar levels + Charisma modifier) or be stunned for 2d6 rounds.
    Nice but it seem to also affect ally. is that normal ?

    Divine Form (Ex): At level ten, the templar becomes a supreme being of good and law. He becomes and outsider with the Good, Law, and Native subtypes. He gains a fly speed of 60 feet (Perfect), as giant billowing wings spring from his shoulders, and he constantly has an Aura of Truth, as the Zone of Truth spell, with a caster level equal to his hitdice. All attacks he makes are infused with holy fire, and deal damage equal to his rage pool plus his Templar levels, half of which is fire damage, and half of which is holy damage.

    Well, they are both enhancement bonuses, so they wouldn't stack, and you would have to pay the rage point cost per round, and all you would get would be a bonus to skills, a bonus to dexterity, and a rather minor bonus to will saves.

    I will clarify. It was meant to be that by spending the rage points, you also sacrifice and immediate action, and your next melee or ranged attack is a smite.

    Oops.

    Sacred bonuses do not stack with each other, but the Paladin ability is an untyped bonus, and stacks with all other bonuses that are not from the same source (I.E. doesn't stack with divine grace).


    Quote Originally Posted by zagan View Post

    Move, methinks. He honestly doesn't gain very much use for them, except for moving, and I want him to try to spread his actions out.


    Quote Originally Posted by zagan View Post

    Yup. The barbarian, and the Templar, tend to be more solo powered. They can function with others, but it tends to get dangerous. This is sort of different for the Stoneskinned and Silvershaft, who actually do better with allies (and partially with the Bladedancer, but they benefit from allies in the same way that a scout does).

    Well, it is less "for the holiness and the light" and more "because I am afraid of what I do not understand, and I hide behind that fear with a holy aura of holiness, and because it would break my world view if those I thought were 'evil' turned out to not really be quite so... evil."

    Also, it is entirely possible with the barbarian class to have a character who "fights for the holiness and the light" while still being a barbarian, so for most characters, it won't necessarily be that gradual, this class will just provide them with actual mechanical representations of that piousness.

    You would also get the +3 competence bonus to attack and damage roll. It's not overpowered to allow the use of both seeing the cost but personally if able i would always use both.

    I will clarify. It was meant to be that by spending the rage points, you also sacrifice and immediate action, and your next melee or ranged attack is a smite.
    Good

    Sacred bonuses do not stack with each other, but the Paladin ability is an untyped bonus, and stacks with all other bonuses that are not from the same source (I.E. doesn't stack with divine grace).
    I asked because often with ability like that it's mentionned that it doesn't stack.

    Move, methinks. He honestly doesn't gain very much use for them, except for moving, and I want him to try to spread his actions out.
    That work.

    Yup. The barbarian, and the Templar, tend to be more solo powered. They can function with others, but it tends to get dangerous. This is sort of different for the Stoneskinned and Silvershaft, who actually do better with allies (and partially with the Bladedancer, but they benefit from allies in the same way that a scout does).
    Okay.

    Yeah, that is a problem I have with paladins in general, but with all of the other Paladin fixes on this forum, it doesn't seem all that bad.

    I guess I could make them incompatible. Of course, that would be a serious rage point drain if you did try to keep them both up, and still use your abilities.

    I know.
    I am not really sure how to take it though. I mean, I was originally planning to make a shifter, not an orc, and those do not really mesh very well. Maybe something like "single minded fury, who blocks out everything else because he is afraid of what he doesn't know"? Sort of sounds orc, with the same psychological struggles the normal Barbarian brings. I will think about it.

    This actually sounds like an amazing idea. What is the Orc pantheon?

    Oh man, I am so glad I made a forum code template for Vestiges for the last contest. This is going to be so much easier.

    Now seems like a good time to post up the next prestige class. I have the Silvershaft completely written out and on my computer and coded, but I want reactions to this guy first. And then I have to go finish the Axe of the Feral Gods.

    Weapon Proficiencies: The Bladedancer does not gain proficiency with any armor or weapons.

    Rage Pool (Ex): The Bladedancer’s class levels and barbarian levels stack for determining:
    • Rage Pool size
    • Frenzied Strike progression
    • Rage Abilities


    Dance Ability: At every level described in the table, the Bladedancer gains an additional Dance Ability (see: Dance Abilities). She must meet all prerequisites for the Dance Abilities.

    Dance of Blades (Ex): Starting at second level, the Bladedancer may, as a swift action, become a veritable whirlwind of blades and arrows, by spending rage points equal to one half her Bladedancer levels. She gains a +6 enhancement bonus to Dexterity, a +3 competency bonus to all attack rolls, and a +5 competency bonus to all Strength and Dexterity based skill checks. During the dance, the Bladedancer must move at least 10 feet per round, or her dance immediately ends. She also gains an additional attack at her highest bonus, per 5 points of Base Attack Bonus she possess. These extra attacks do not stack with other extra attacks, excepting those gained from a high base attack bonus. She must spend a rage point per round in order to keep the dance in effect, and once it ends, she becomes fatigued for 2d4 rounds. A Bladedancer cannot activate her dance ability while fatigued.

    Whirl of Blades (Ex): Starting at level 4, the Bladedancer gain the Spring Attack feat, even if she does not qualify for it. If she already has the Spring Attack feat, she gains a bonus feat of her choice that she qualifies for.

    Ghostly Speed (Ex): Starting at level 6, the Bladedancer may increase her speed to incredible speeds, by spending 5 rage points, as a swift action. Her base land speed quadruples for a number of rounds equal to her Wisdom modifier. If she uses the run action, her move speed is 7 times the normal base land speed, and if she has the Run feat, 8 times her base land speed.

    Walk the Air (Ex): Starting at level 8, by spending 4 rage points, as a swift action, If both the Bladedancer and an ally are adjacent to the same creature, they both gain the benefit of flanking against that target. The Bladedancer and her allies can gain this benefit against multiple enemies, if they meet the conditions required. This ability lasts for a number of rounds equal to her Charisma modifier.

    Steel Waltz (Ex): Starting at level 10, the Bladedancer may make full attacks while using the spring attack feat, instead of only one single attack.

    Seem fine. Any specific reason a minimum 8 level entry ?

    -snips skill-
    Fine list.

    -snip hd and table-
    d8, 3/4 bab and good ref save fit.

    Rage Pool (Ex): The Bladedancer’s levels stack with her Barbarian levels for determining her barbarian level for rage abilities, her rage pool cap, and when she gets rage abilities, as well as how many rage points her Frenzied Strike class ability adds to her rage pool. So, a Barbarian 5/Bladedancer 6 gains a rage ability that level, and has 6 rage abilities in total.
    okay.

    Dance Ability: At every level described in the table, the Bladedancer gains an additional Dance Ability (see: Dance Abilities). She must meet all prerequisites for the Dance Abilities.
    Another type of ability no problem.

    Dance of Blades (Ex): Starting at second level, the Bladedancer may, as a swift action, become a veritable whirlwind of blades and arrows, by spending rage points equal to one half her Bladedancer levels.
    You spend rage point equal to half your level. So the higher your level the more it cost you ? Also if it was intend you need to pecise minimum 1.

    She gains a +6 enhancement bonus to Dexterity, a +3 competency bonus to all attack rolls, and a +5 competency bonus to all Strength and Dexterity based skill checks. During the dance, the Bladedancer must move at least 10 feet per round, or her dance immediately ends. She also gains an additional attack at her highest bonus, per two Bladedancer levels.
    Five bonus attack (at 10, ECL 17), wow, it seem strong but thinking about it, it's probably alright.
    Also usual question can I rage and dance at the same time, not much benefit I know but I need to ask.

    These extra attacks do not stack with other extra attacks, excepting those gained from the extra attack line of rage abilities, and extra attacks gained from a high base attack bonus. She must spend a rage point per round in order to keep the dance in effect, and once it ends, she becomes fatigued for 2d4 rounds. A Bladedancer cannot activate her dance ability while fatigued.
    Okay.

    Whirl of Blades (Ex): Starting at level 4, the Bladedancer gain the Spring Attack feat, even if she do not qualify for it. If she already has the Spring Attack feat, she gains a bonus feat of her choice that she qualifies for.
    Always nice.

    Ghostly Speed (Ex): Starting at level 6, the Bladedancer may increase her speed to incredible speeds, by spending 5 rage points, as a swift action. Her base land speed quadruples for a number of rounds equal to her Wisdom modifier. If she uses the run action, her move speed is 7 times the normal base land speed, and if she has the Run feat, 8 times her base land speed.
    "increase her speed to incredible speeds" ???
    Increadible level no ?
    Otherwise fine.

    Walk the Air (Ex): Starting at level 8, by spending 4 rage points, as a swift action, the Bladedancer counts as if she flanking an opponent as if she were in another square within 1 square of her, for the purposes of gaining flanking benefits from allies, for a number of rounds equal to her Charisma modifier.
    Need work in the wording, I think you mean for the dancer to count as being in an adjacent square for the purpose of determining flanking but only for an allie and not herself ? Yeah, it need to be clarified.

    Steel Waltz (Ex): Starting at level 10, the Bladedancer may make full attacks while using the spring attack feat, instead of only one single attack.
    A fine captsone.

    Oh, good point. And yes, that is how all of the rage abilities work, 1/2 the prestige class level in order to start the rage. For the regular rage, it is 1/4 the barbarian level in order to start it.

    Yeah, that is the main mechanical benefit gained from this class. And yes you can, but it costs quite a bit (you have to pay for the activation for both, and the round by round cost.)

    Otherwise fine.
    Well, what can I say, it is fluff. And actually, consider what would happen with only the prerequisites and this ability. 40 base land speed, and if she runs, and has the run feat, that is 320 feet in a round. Compare that to the normal humans base land speed, times four if they had the run feat, which would be 120. So, she can run almost three times faster than any normal human. Now, consider it with the rage abilities. Her base land speed at level 10 is 30+60, or 90. 90 times 8 is 720 feet. That is a full six times faster than any human being. That is the equivalent of running the 100 meter dash in
    (3.280839895 feet in a meter, therefore the 100 meter dash is 328.0839895 feet. 720/328.0839895=) 2.19456000000877824 seconds. That is so fast that a normal person's flesh would come off of their bones, and their joints would literally break.

    Oh, yeah. I suppose I could base it off of the Shadow Hand stance, Island of Blades.

    No. It is forced movement, so that wouldn't make all that much sense.

    Yeah, this class is meant to be the Skirmisher. Also, notice; he gains 5 attacks at his highest bonus, plus four attacks for having a highish BAB. He gains Skirmish +6d6/+6. That is only 54d6 damage, plus Strength or Dexterity, if he hits on every attack. He will most likely miss on 2, leaving him with 42d6, and this is only at level 18 or 19, in which casters are doing far, far more damage, creating planes, and destroying entire civilizations. To me, it doesn't seem all that bad.

    I could be wrong of course, and if that is the case, I will adjust this. I noticed that the Bladedancer could do 200+ damage per round, and that felt out of line. Maybe I should tone it down, and have it be an extra attack per 5 points of BAB they possess? One less skirmish ability? What do you think?

    I've never played to that high level so I can't really give a fair evaluation but you could probably do comparable damage with an optimize totemist or a good glaivelock. Plus skirmish count as precision damage so that contribute to limiting it.
