I thought that this was an excellent class. Far better than the prestige class. :)

Wonderful job on this Class! It really has the Shamanic Feel!

The Slayer was quite well done.
Very Good mix of abilities and the different mix of themes that could be carried out with each. Far more than just an assassin. Fionn McCool Lives!
And Bond!

Investigator is very interesting. We saw the Sherlock Holmes references immediately. There is also a Batman element that is quite present. Question though: Can you play someone other than a detective with the Investigator? Can you play an Instigator or The Doctor? Is it a good class for, say, Dr. Sebastion of the same Sherlock Holmes era? Sorry All, perhaps we didn't see it in the same perceptual viewpoints. We just all came up with Holmes...

Skald...Sorry All...this was a repackaged Bard. Inciting and Granting Rage/Rage Powers is cool and all. It's simply additional Bard abilities or alternate class features. You could do this Skald as part Ranger or Rogue and give class abilities to others as well. A Skald IS a Bard :)
The most interesting part of the Skald was the Spell Kenning. Very Neatly Done!

Well, That's the Thoughts :)

Hi All,

I was thinking about the Bard. Good work, by the way on the update. A lot of my friends are looking more for from the Bard's Handbook from 2nd and trying to update it for P3.5. We were thinking that the Bard should have a choice of ONE Chr-based skill in which to utilize their Bardic Abilities. The choices were Bluff, Diplomacy, Intimidate, or Perform. This gives a wide range of variation to the Bard. Something that was very prevelant in the Bard's Handbook. We also thought of a Feat: Learned Bard in which the Bard uses Int to cast Spells. The spell list is then chosen from the Sorc/Wiz list. (note that other feats should be available for this type of variant. Such would be Divine Bard (Cleric spell list), Natural Bard (Druidic spell list)using Wisdom as the spellcasting stat.) We realize that the spellcasting potential is still limited to 6th level spells of the differing spell lists, but that's just part of the variant.
What do you think?
