Talk:Field Marshall (3.5)
+5 BaB to +6 raises the 2/3's (Rogue, Professional, Cleric) min level to 8 from 7. Which you're probably fine with, just giving an FYI. -Slitherrr
- Raises from 7 to 8 you mean? I'm ok with that, considering the relatively low number of skills required compared to the strength of the special abilities, I think getting putting it off is ok. Also, I think it makes more sense for a Field Marshall to require a stronger martial background than a mere +5. -gm
- To 8 from 7 is what I said, silly. LEARN TO READ. But yeah, I can dig it.-Slitherrr
I'm trying to think of a good way to simulate the Commanding Presence benefit to see what kind of damage output it amounts to within that 20' radius. +2 isn't a whole lot on a per-person basis, so the benefit of this class is really small unless the PC can find a way to cram a bunch of allies into that 10' radius, which is just barely enough to have flanking PCs within the radius (but only if the enemy in question is size M or smaller). Do we have any other good, Martial, 5-level prestige classes to compare to for balance? -Slitherrr
- I would suggest comparing it to the progression of similar bard songs? However, consider also that the bard songs are modal (you must pick the bonus to apply per song) rather than total, like the field marshall. (all bonuses, all the time!) -gm
Killed a bunch of interesting stuff here that's available in the history. -Slitherrr 00:32, 12 December 2010 (EST)
