You might want to give them a single other discipline; two is VERY limited. You need to state what benefits/penalties you get from different sized cats. Also, you haven't written out Pounce in the text.

this class isn't supposed to be maneuver-heavy.

...
Also, please capitalise ability names and headings. Like The Cat Warrior. Level. Fort Save. Warrior, Hunter or Skirmisher. Cat Form
It just bugs me.

okay, I'll do that.

[Lix Lorn]

Yes, but with light maneuvers and a progressing ability, it may not be weak, but it is dull. Notice how almost all homebrew classes keep getting new abilities all through the class, rather than just improving old ones?

[Jade Dragon]

I added some more stuff, now I just gotta add fluff and think of a capstone ability.

Done! I just finished my first homebrew class! Still open to suggestions.

EDIT: there are now officially no dead levels.

[Bhu]

Cat Warrior now has listing on first page index, which has also had an update

[Jade Dragon]

The only problem with this is it might be good only for a one level dip if you're multiclassing. Though it's probably not much better than the warblade for a dip.

Need to do the guns for the Meowcenaries:

Craft Gun
Y'all can make Guns now.
Prerequisites: Craft Wand
Benefits: A Gun is basically a Wand, with a few important differences. The first is that it only has 6 charges. The second is that it can be used by anyone whether they can cast spells or not (activating it is a Swift Action, Manipulation). Guns may also be recharged by any spellcaster who has the spell on their spell list by them 'losing' a spell of the same level as a Swift Action, or by using a Charger.

GP Cost: Half Base Price
XP Cost: Base Price divided by 25
Base Price: 187.5 x Level of Spell x Level of Caster
Crafting Time: 1 day per 1000 GP


Beezooka
Price (Item Level): 2813 GP
Body Slot: - (Held)
Caster Level: 6th
Aura: Faint; (DC:18) Conjuration
Activation: Swift (Manipulation)
Weight: 12 lbs.

You hold a giant wooden tube that shoots beehives at opponents. Needless to say, everyone wants you on their side.

Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and Armor, Craft Guns, BEES!
Cost to Create: 1407 GP, 3 days, 115 XP



BEES!
Conjuration (Summoning)
Level: 3
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Close (25' plus 5'/2 Levels)
Effect: 1 Swarm of Big Bees
Duration: 1 round/Level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

This is pretty much identical to Summon Swarm except that you do have mental control over what the Swarm does.

Big Bee Swarm
Tiny Vermin (Swarm)
Hit Dice: 6d8 (27 hp)

Speed: 10 ft. (2 squares), Fly 30 ft (Good)

Challenge Rating: 4
Treasure: No coins or items, 1/8 goods (honey only)

"...avenge me..."

Big Bee swarms are quite obviously a hazard in some areas. It helps if you don't try making your campfire underneath their nest.

Poison (Ex): Injury, Fortitude Save DC 13, Initial and Secondary damage is 1d6 Constitution.

Distraction (Ex): Any living creature vulnerable to the swarms damage that begins it's turn in the same square as a Swarm must make a DC 13 Fortitude Save (Save DC is Constitution based) or be Nauseated for 1 round. Spellcasting or concentrating on a spell within the swarms area requires a Concentration Check (DC is 20 plus spell level). Using skills that require patience or concentration requires a DC 20 Concentration check.

Skills (Ex): Bees have a +4 Racial Bonus to Spot Checks and to Survival Checks made to orient themselves.

Combat: Big Bee Swarms don't die as quickly as regular bee swarms, which makes fighting them a bit more of a problem.

Requests for specific guns while I'm at this?

[Eiremauve]

These are awesome! I shall use them when I finally get around to playing dnd!

[Bhu]

Thanks Eiremauve!




Does the Meowcenary cap seem too powerful, and does it read clearly?

That's a "ye gods, that's uber, i wants one NOW," which translates to way powerful.

Does anyone think the cat warrior's overpowered?

Cieyrin: How about if I switch the cap to "your special Maneuvers gained from this PrC are always considered readied" they only get 3 of them.

[Jade Dragon]

There aren't any dead levels, at any level there isn't a class feature, you learn a maneuver or stance (although you gain those with class features as well). I also added iron heart to the disciplines available.

Definitely better. I'm just imagining some guy going Master of Nine after Merc and it's a little horrifying.

[Bhu]

Cool. Anything you're looking for by way of guns?

[Jade Dragon]

What about lightning guns and ice guns?

[Bhu]

Meowcenary now has Gun FU and is available for feedback.

[Bhu]

I has begun editing in the Way of teh Cat.

Lighting and ice guns are good.

[snowboule]

Hai!
a friend of mine showed me those cat classes and I bumped on this picture the other day and it made me think about teh cat burglar.

there are f word on that picture so I wont post it xD

I was thinking about some kind of amnesic duplicating cat that doesn't recognize himself

So if any of you feel like using this idea to make something go ahead!

[Cieyrin]

You probably want to remove that, it'll get scrubbed by a mod sooner than later.

[snowboule]

probably a good idea made the change

[Bhu]

It's still showing in your spoiler Cieyrin

Amnesiac duplicating cat...I wonder what kind of fluff I could write for that...

[Cieyrin]

Sounds like Chameleon to me.

[Bhu]

All the maneuvers are up so in theory meowcenary is done pending review

added 3 more guns

[Cieyrin]

Cats have 9 Lives seems a bit niche and redundant with Cats are Magic. Maybe change it to a damage negation type ability?

[Bhu]

Changed Cats are Magic and Cheshire Cat Grin and added more guns. This should be enough guns for now, and I'll start filling in the blanks.
