06-06-07, 11:32 PM Does anyone else think that these 2 new classes would be useful as the most direct path to Master Inquisitive, and Extreme Explorer respectively?

I am interested in how some of you would build these 2 classes and keep them balanced as well as not taking away any of the new stuff gained by their respective PRC's.

Please submit your ideas.

06-06-07, 11:52 PM I'm going to be very honest and say that both classes sound like variations on the Expert or Rogue classes...

As such, I hate to say it, but it feels like these would be good for NPC classes, but maybe not so much for PC classes.

I can see an explorer getting feats like endurace, maybe track, but he'd have no magic, nor a good BAB (average maybe) and I can't see him getting very many other benefits

Inqusitives I see being experts with skill focuses in Law, gather information, search and spot...and maybe that lvl 1 ability you can get if you take the 1st level racial substitution level for Changeling rogues.

Sorry if this wasn't the answer you wanted to hear, but that's where I stand. Now if you were to actually build the classes and tell me why they're so good, I might sing a different tune.

06-07-07, 01:27 AM These classes do not currently exist, I was considering building them for PC Class Types as alternative classes for advancing to the PRC's listed in my earlier post.

I.E. One should be an Explorer before becoming an Extreme Explorer. (I was thinking the Indiana Jones/Daniel Jackson archtype)

Same idea for the MAster Inquisitive; though I cant seem to think of any good Archtype examples.
