Diamond Swordmaster

Summary:

My own attempt at recreating the supposedly WotC-cancelled PRC

Diamond Swordmaster

The first draft has been posted here.

I would appreciate hearing your opinions and most importantly suggestions for the capstone ability.

Jade Phoenix Mage was used as the base…then heavily altered. As for the balance…I am aiming for a power output somewhere between Ruby Knight Vindicator and JPM (yes above JPM because arcane magic is inherently more powerful than psionics so it should turn out balanced in the end).

1. Edited Saphhire Mind for clarity
2. Phrenic Stance needs to note what the idea of *Free Psionic Focuses* means mechanically.
3. Bonus feats can and should be made more available. How about any Psionic, Combat ,or Martial Feat?
4. You should add profession and craft to the Diamond Swordmaster's skills.
5. Overall I like what I'm seeing, keep it up and think of a cool capstone.

Thx for editing another copy-paste error of mine…the alpha draft was simply full of them so I am not that surprised that one survived the editing-purge heh :).

2. Phrenic Stance needs to note what the idea of *Free Psionic Focuses* means mechanically.

Yes I am fully aware of that, but that's just the first more readable draft…I will think about translating it better into the mechanics soon (possibly based on the dominant mantle ACF ability but limited in uses per encounter).

3. Bonus feats can and should be made more available. How about any Psionic, Combat ,or Martial Feat?

I made the list very specific to avoid the PRC from being too dip-friendly but if the overall power level of the class will not be deemed too high then I am eager to change this part.

4. You should add profession and craft to the Diamond Swordmaster's skills.

O_o How could I miss this part. Thanks for pointing it out !

5. Overall I like what I'm seeing, keep it up and think of a cool capstone.

Thanks for your reply…yeah the capstone will need a lot of brainstorming on my part heh.
