I'm GMing a group that exclusively sticks to Paizo products, but we picked up a new player that's looking at the Nightblade. I'm a little apprehensive about it from just from looking it over briefly. It looks like it was modeled off of Bard, which gets a ton of new stuff every level, and so does the Nightblade. However, most of what the Bard gets is skill bonus related, and the Nightblade seems to replace those skill bonuses with abilities that are similar to Rogue talents AND a Ranger combat style.
Has anyone been in a game with one? How does it compare? Any other issues with the class?
We're playing an AP if that affects anything.
