Uh, you can't rate your own stuff. It don't work that way. Sorry. --Jay Freedman 23:26, 27 August 2009 (MDT)

Certainly lazy, aren't you, Jay? I got your attention but I suppose that's all the response I deserve, correct? Why don't you take a look at this class yourself and tell me what you think. Or have you no opinion, only distastefully obvious objections? --TejayHighlander 20:41, 29 August 2009 (MDT)

Dude, I am the laziest person you shall ever meet. Haha. I just noticed your name was red, (meaning no user page), and figured you for a casual jack. My bad. I'll look this whole puppy over and give ya a rating soon. --Jay Freedman 20:54, 29 August 2009 (MDT)(And may the schwartz be with you)

Power - 4/5 I give this class a 4 out of 5 because it should only take a'little work to boost it up. I feel it needs more power to be useable as a PrC. I want to be a rockin' bad arse when I use this PrC.

Ideas I had. Take'em or leave em.

• Ditch prereqs for Quick Draw and Concentration. (What martial character uses Concentration? I never use a feat for Quick Draw either. Thats just me.)
• Make prereqs for Dex and Int only 13. Not 14. (Most fighter feats only use a 13 prereq anyway.)
• Make Sonic Draw: Can attack with any undrawn weapon as a move action with a +2 bonus. Can draw a weapon as a free action. (Gained with or without Quick Draw.)
• Make Honing Critical: add Stength Modifier to confirming crits. (No me gusta Concentration.)
• Change his sword specialty to any two-handed slashing weapon. (or a Weapon Focus prereq.) --Jay Freedman 21:50, 29 August 2009 (MDT)

Wording - 4/5 I give this class a 4 out of 5 because its lengthy and the first paragraph needs a rewrite. It makes sense though. I knew what you where going for. --Jay Freedman 21:50, 29 August 2009 (MDT)

Formatting - 1/5 I give this class a 1 out of 5 because it needs proper links badly. On every Strength, and Dexterity, and such. It also needs a complete preload. --Jay Freedman 21:50, 29 August 2009 (MDT)

Flavor - 3/5 I give this class a 3 out of 5 because I've seen this before. Alot. Also the abilities he gets dont scream GIANT swordsman. They just seem swordy. Maybe more precise abilities or a change to any two-handed slashing weapon. (Like, idk, maybe if you use a slashing weapon the crit multipler goes up by +1 or something.) --Jay Freedman 21:50, 29 August 2009 (MDT)

Here's another idea. Make Combat Expertise a Prereq. So your guy needs an Int 13 anyway for the feat and he can boost his AC using his BAB. Now give him the ability to trade -2 BAB for +2d6 Sneak Attack Damage with a maximum of -6 to BAB. Cause Power Attack gives a -5/+10. This gives a -6/+18average. (Take it or leave it.) --Jay Freedman 22:02, 29 August 2009 (MDT)

Weapon use

Power - 4/5 I give this class a 4 out of 5 because it is an quite interesting and balanced class for those interested in focusing for some reason in specifically greatsword fighting --173.245.56.179 14:13, 18 May 2012 (MDT)

Wording - 4/5 I give this class a 4 out of 5 because it was easy to understand but nothing special --173.245.56.179 14:13, 18 May 2012 (MDT)

Formatting - 3/5 I give this class a 3 out of 5 because it was an bit loose but nothing that made it difficult to understand the idea of the class --173.245.56.179 14:13, 18 May 2012 (MDT)

Flavor - 5/5 I give this class a 5 out of 5 because I loved the idea of an specific prestige weapon class that worked out really well --173.245.56.179 14:13, 18 May 2012 (MDT)

Does no-one see a flavour problem with " specialist in wielding swords of larger size" and "fencing"? Marasmusine (talk) 14:26, 18 May 2012 (MDT)
