Level 1 - You gain the Spring Attack feat - progressing your movement abilities from your prerequisite feats of DODGE and MOBILITY. (Rankings on the class abilities and features per level are BLUE for super good/excellent, GREEN for good/average, and RED for poor/below average.) The lack of these caster levels makes it hard to justify a full progression of 10 levels for most optimized characters. Loss of 4 Caster Levels out of 10, -4/10 CL - probably the most significant drawback of the PrC. Although it is better than a standard wizard or sorcerer the low hit die is offset by some of the special abilities of the class to avoid melee and spell attacks.ġ. ![]() "Moderate" Hit Die - Same as Rogues - d6, survivability becomes an issue without the hit points to survive hard hits. "Poor" Fort Save - Probably the most important save for melee characters, especially with save or die spell effectsĢ. (This is expanded in the skill /skill tricks section)ġ. Decent selection of class skills that help both melee and caster classes. Decent skill points per level (4 + Int modifier/level)ĥ. Some are new abilities/feats and other abilities increase in power as you progress through the 10 levels.Ĥ. Special abilities and feats at each level. "Good" - Full BAB progression over 10 levels.ģ. ![]() Special: Must have spent the entire previous level using all 3rd level spell slots to exclusively cast haste.ġ. Weapon Proficiency: Proficient with at least one martial weapon. Skills: Concentration 6 Ranks, Spellcraft 6 Ranks. It is my opinion that martial and caster classes can benefit from 3 or more levels of this PrC to significantly improve and optimize their abilities. ![]() The Swiftblade PrC includes 10 levels with abilities at each level. The current model of the Swiftblade is very attractive to Gish "like" characters due to it's empowerment of the haste spell and movement like abilities. Due to an enormous amount of player feedback, the authors decided to change some key elements of the PrC in order to make it a more desirable option for players. The Swiftblade PrC has undergone numerous evolutions from its initial conception as was first posted on the WoTC website.
