I honestly think that his is a really interested class and I would love to see how it well it works in game. I could definitely think of some character concepts that would work well with it. On paper, it looks pretty balanced to me. Looks like a great support class.
I'm not so sure how it would work in high level parties (as I don't have much experience with them personally), and that is definitely something to look into.
Looks great and I'm interested to see where this goes!
I hope the powers that be are ok with me starting a new thread here. Anyway, he is the new, new improved version.

Whether he is a morbid coffin-maker, a work-a day gravedigger or a gleeful experimenter, he is an explorer, the corpse his unmapped wilderness and his surgical tools his compass. His in depth knowledge of the anatomy not only allows him to be more precise in battle, it also allows him to pass some of the benefits of their research on to his allies. But he is more than that. An anatomist’s keen senses, trained by years of medical studies allow him to observe things many others might miss. Furthermore his years of disciplined study have also made him a fountain of knowledge. Armed with his findings and that knowledge, the anatomist makes for a valuable asset to have at hand in any interrogation.
Role: The mere fact that anatomists spend much of their time cutting up the dead, does not make them the best candidate for socialite of the year regardless of where they are. Most people avoid them out of habit simply because they are too much a reminder of their own mortality. That said, for those of strong stomach, like a group of...
