(Each time he gains this class feature) Ray Critical (Ex): A Master of Rays’ ray spells gain a critical threat range of 19-20/X2. This stacks with Improved Critical (Ray) Double Ray Blast (Su): As a Full-Round Action, a Master of Rays can fire two rays in one round if he makes a Concentration check equal to 10+level of each spell. Each ray takes a -2 penalty to hit, however. Greater Ray Accuracy: A Master of Rays’ base attack bonus with rays is equal to his total hit dice (as Fighter)
SpoonyBard 04-16-07, 11:44 PM	Seems a bit... overpowered. You're getting near-full casting, your BAB is doubling, and you get Split Ray at no level increase...
Dead_Weasel 04-17-07, 04:48 AM	I agree with SpoonyBard; this needs to be toned down quite a bit. I recommend that you drop Double Ray Blast and Greater Ray Accuracy and move Ray Accuracy down to 5th level. Move the remaining class abilities up a level, and change Bonus Spell to Bonus Spell: Each time he gains this class feature, a Master of Rays gains a bonus spell per day, as if from having a high ability score, to any level of spells the Master of Rays already has the ability to cast. Once applied, it cannot be changed. This bonus spell may only be used for ray spells.
DeathXI 04-18-07, 10:35 AM	It's not split ray, it's more akin to Multispell, since it's not the same ray. Personally I'd say Drop it to 3/5 Casting, with no Casting at 1st and 5th. Remove the bonus spell at 2nd level. And change the 5th level to Bonus Feat: Split Ray If you REALLY want to keep the 5th level ability, you'd have to either really up the requirements (I.e. add Improved Critical: Ray, plus a BaB or spell level pre-req) or make the class epic only.
TheCarrionCrawler 04-18-07, 10:52 PM	And here I thought that this was a class about manta rays and skates! :tantrum: J/K I would drop another of the +1 spellcasting and maybe rethink the Ray Accuracy....kinda much for a 5-level PrC
Marcus Majarra 04-19-07, 12:38 AM	Doesn't the Complete Scoundrel's spellwarp sniper fill the ray specialist niche?
Dead_Weasel 04-19-07, 02:35 AM	Yes, but since when has that stopped people from making similar PrCs of their own? Especially broken ones...:P
