Well what I meant was that the Weapon Training gained at 10th level is really a class feature that not only is it useless (since the Kensai has already got another version of it), but it also goes against the idea of the Kensai (who focuses on a single weapon and shouldn't need to gain fighter only feats that he can use with weapons other than his chosen). For this reason it's a class feature that should be removed from the Kensai's abilities the way I see it. And although spells and arcane points are ok, it's not like the Magus needs to get the Critical Focus feat as soon as possible. Besides, Critical Perfection also gives him another bonus so it's an ok ability even if the character can't gain Critical Focus at the same time. So if you get Critical Perfection at level 10 you can keep the Magus Arcana from level 9 and also replace Weapon Training at level 10, which shouldn't be there for the Kensai.

If it's a matter of power I get it, but personally I don't think that one more Magus Arcana can make a character overpowered, and maybe the fact that he needs to wait for two more levels to get Critical Focus balances that out.

I would like to hear your thoughts about the 9th and 10th level of the Kensai. The way it is now, 10th level is practically as if it offers nothing to the character, since the Kensai gets a better version of Fighter Training at level 7. Also the Kensai loses only one Magus Arcana, the one from level 9, which is pretty annoying in my opinion because it stops the normal progression every three levels.

Wouldn't it be much better, if the Kensai got the Critical Perfection class feature at level 10 instead of level 9, and have it replace the original Fighter Training instead of the Magus Arcana gained at level 9? This way you get two things: 1. you get rid of a redundant class feature and the practically empty level 10 offers a cool feature, 2. you retain the normal progression of gaining Magus Arcana.

PS: Sorry if I posted this in the wrong section!

Has anyone come up wih conversions of these two prestige classes or any other class from the BoED and the BoVD?

I'd also like to hear random ideas, or if someone has played one of these prestige classes, even in 3.5, did you do any changes to balance them?

Is there going to be a remake of The Book of Exalted Deeds and The Book of Vile Darkness? These two books are great flavorwise and some additional options concerning good and evil would be more than great.

Also are new things going to be published only as books, or should we expect to see for example collections of Feats, Prestige Classes, etc?

I see, thank you for your quick reply

I want to create an item that has one of the abilities of the "Sunblade". I want it to be able to be wielded as a smaller weapon (one size category smaller), like the Sunblade can be wielded as a Short Sword although it is a Bastard Sword.

How do I know how much this ability will increase the weapon's market price? Will it count as a fixed amount of extra gold pieces or as an enhancement bonus?
