Swiftblade Conversion?


Conversions


Okay, the Swiftblade is a little known PrC that only showed up on the WotC web page. That aside, it has become my favorite new gish PrC for an old character concept.

So I was looking to bring this to Pathfinder.

By the normal conversion rules this should probably just get a D10 hit die, and that is it, however I was thinking this might be too much. Maybe a D8 or is a D10 fine? I don't think any other conversion is needed as it has lots of interesting abilities.

If I had to chose abilities though, uncanny dodge, and evasion come to mind.

What do you think?


Ah, the 3.0 Haste prestige class! I love that thing. No, honestly, I'd bump the HD to d10 and leave it alone. It was borderline overpowered in 3.5, especially when built well.

You might consider a line of feats, though. Feats that boost the damage, cause Dodge to work double when hasted, etc.


By the way, my favorite Swiftblade build was a Battle Sorcerer 6 / Swiftblade 10 / Abjurant Champion 4. Swapping out Battle Sorcerer for an Elf Focused Specialist Transmuter worked just as well, but you didn't get the armor or weapon focus.

Either way, you ended up with 16 caster levels, and a BAB of 18 or 17, depending on your build.

I might be a little biased, though.

Lol, want some Queso with that cheese sauce?

Good build, though. I love the CharOp boards. :D

Yeah that is my favorite build as well.

I am trying to go TWF, but I am having trouble with a 25 point buy because the concept requires using a bastard sword, and the games will probably end at 15th level.

P.S. Check the date of the web post, it is hardly 3.0 as it takes place well after complete adventure.
