Talk:Daunting Assailant (3.5e Class)
From D&D Wiki
This class is based on Rorschach from Watchmen, and as such the most appropriate image to use would be one of Rorschach. Is there any legal way to use one? I know Wikipedia sometimes uses some legal rationale to establish fair use, but I have no idea whether this page would constitute fair use or whether there are any free images available of him. Can anyone help me? --Daniel Draco 11:19, 27 March 2009 (MDT)
Power - 2/5 I give this class a 2 out of 5 because this class comes off as quite overpowered to me.
- The Rogue gets their Special Abilities at 10th level. This starts at level 2.
- Category:Improvised Weapon exists for weapons. Their is no need to make up rules for improvised weapons (that I can see).
- Daunt comes off as quite overpowered, especially when the player starts getting more of these class features.
I mean this class just comes off as a Rogue/Monk which can intimidate opponents for a quite improved combat advantage. --Green Dragon 15:20, 7 April 2009 (MDT)
- The fighter gets its feats at first level, but it still ends up being underpowered.
- That category is...confusing. By the SRD rules, improvised weapons simply use the stats of the most similar actual weapon, with a -4 penalty on attacks. I based the improvised weapon ability on the similar abilities granted by the Drunken Master from Complete Warrior.
- I don't see how daunt is overpowered. So the enemies are shaken for a few rounds. A spellcaster can do far worse at the same level.
- Well, the monk is underpowered, so it really shouldn't be used as a standard for power. Its combat advantage comes to some penalties and extra damage, but the extra damage is less than that of the rogue. --Daniel Draco 22:15, 7 April 2009 (MDT)
- Rating negated due to nonsensical basis and three months without justification. For example, "quite overpowered" is not, itself, an explanation of why it is overpowered. Sorry GD. --Daniel Draco 14:30, 3 July 2009 (MDT)
Wording - 4/5 I give this class a 4 out of 5 because the wording present is pretty good for the most part, except a few questions are raised. For example why does AC Bonus not use the same wording as the Monk's? Also, Dire Attack has some extraneous wording. --Green Dragon 15:20, 7 April 2009 (MDT)
- The wording is different to be a bit more concise, and because it's slightly different in mechanics. What extraneous wording? --Daniel Draco 22:15, 7 April 2009 (MDT)
- Rating negated due to nonsensical basis (different ≠ bad) and lack of explanation for what wording is extraneous. --Daniel Draco 14:30, 3 July 2009 (MDT)
Formatting - 3.5/5 I give this class a 3.5 out of 5 because no links to the SRD are present and the class feature table entries do not link to their class features. --Green Dragon 15:20, 7 April 2009 (MDT)
- Yes, this and flavor will come after it's playtested and possibly tweaked. --Daniel Draco 22:15, 7 April 2009 (MDT)
Flavor - 0/5 I give this class a 0 out of 5 because no fluff information is present and no example NPC is present. --Green Dragon 15:20, 7 April 2009 (MDT)
The originator obviously has no want to finish it so we should be able to either start finishing it or remove it depending on the information available. Tivanir 11:57, 2 April 2012 (MDT)
