So this class has some attractive abilities, but I'm wondering if they're attractive enough, considering.  I don't really have a feel for how useful the NPC companions are, I suppose.  The +1 bonus seems fairly paltry for only working in a 10 foot radius, but maybe I underestimate the usefulness of +1 to all rolls.  In fact, I'm probably really underestimating the usefulness, now that I think about it.
What's the speed on Remove Fear? Standard action, a spell-like ability sort of thing? -[[User:Slitherrr|Slitherrr]]
 
* Yeah, PF standard is unless otherwise mentioned a standard action.  
What are this class's class skills? Also, it seems weird to have 5 points per level--perhaps it should be either 6 or 4?

Attribute scores make horrible prerequisites, because they're almost impossible to improve, and can make the desired minimum character level for a class ridiculously high if the character doesn't happen to start with the right stats (barring the mysterious appearance of Manuals of X).  It might be useful to consider what the desired minimum level is for characters who take this class, and what he should be focused in.  The Leadership feat isn't available until character level 6, for example, so that puts a hard level minimum for anyone. The BAB requirement doesn't change the minimum level for fighting classes, and increases it a bit for non-fighting classes.  If the class is mostly made for charismatic fighty types, then perhaps minimum ranks in Diplomacy and some sort of Knowledge might make more sense (both being Paladin and Cleric class skills, although Clerics have different Knowledge class skills than Paladins).  This tends to exclude people with mainly Fighter levels, but so does having a 14 in Charisma, which Fighters have little use for.  A Diplomatic feat like Negotiator might make sense, also.

Excellent question! To clarify leadership, for the purposes of the Field Marshall class, treat it like you would under the living greyhawk rules from old tounrny D&D. So, you end up with a 24 pt cohort (22 in LG) with a starting level determined by your leadership score. So, essentially, it's a way for a well-established professional to develop a sage advisor, bodyguard, sidekick or whatever to go along with his goodly amount of time scmoozing and gaining temporal power.
 
Since you're interested in the class, I'll put some skills up - they'll be very much in line with the fighter + the professional.  -gm

I kindof agree looking over this that it might need a boost to command abilities. Couple with leadership, they are pretty strong so I don't think we should overdo it. Maybe combine skill checks and saves, and shift AC and At down one. So they get +1 to all at 3, and then at 4 they get more range and 5 a bigger buff?
 
I'm glad you pointed out that bit about attributes. Good catch--glad they are gone. --[[User:Msallen|Msallen]] 01:45, 25 July 2009 (EDT)
