Lion Blade Prestige Class Features


Rules Questions

I have a question about the new Prestige Class from Inner Sea Intrigue "Lion Blade". Crowd Strike says "In addition, she can use the stealth skill to snipe at foes when making melee attacks as long as she attacks from a square containing at least one other creature within one size category of her". I'm a little confused by this. How are you attacking while in a square with another creature, short of squeezing or grappling? Is this only for use when using the Crowd rules (I mean it is called Crowd Strike, but that's a very niche circumstance I've literally only seen in one module).

How would you attack while Squeezing when you can't end your movement while squeezing? I suppose you could provoke attacks of opportunity while moving and parry/riposte, or use Spring Attack...but both of those are very niche and feat intensive for a class that already has three prerequisites. Then again, the class does mention spring attack elsewhere, despite none of its prerequisites also being prerequisites for spring attack or classes that grant more than one bonus combat feat.

Also, this isn't the right place for this I venture but... Is Unexpected Suggestion supposed to use Intelligence? The class is a Bard/Rogue class, so I can't believe its not using Charisma.


rat people can fight in the same square legally with a feat, also there is a mounted/teamwork feat that lets your share squares with another mounted person. It is probably mess up and don't expect a lot of support on it. As pathfinder has all but abandon Prestige Class (with the exception of Hell Knights they are too big of setting piece to throw out.) in core books and companion books\campaign based books, they don't get errata or FAQ's. They add one occasionally in companion books.

edit note. most Prestige Class are originally for NPC/GM use, So it is something that would more then likely only be used in a limit situation or encounter. hence why most Prestige Class abilities are weaker then most core classes. Hellknight is good example, of this, most the the ability mimic paladin only half as powerful, half the smites per day ect. the only reason to play a Prestige Class is for theme or if you want to challenge your self.
