However, there is a bit of overlap between this PrC and the TotG talents (as well as the Echani feat in KotOR). It will definitely need an update in the next couple of weeks to keep it viable.

I don't suppose that it would be viable to add the Teras Kasi talent tree from Threats of the Galaxy book to this Prestige Class, would it? I'm actually running a Synth Droid that is/was going for that tree... but this looks like it might be better, and I dont have to take Point Blank Shot for Elite Trooper. I like this.

Good job. Other than the points already made above, I really like this class.

In the Talents section of the prerequisties, you've got "At least ON talent from..." instead of ONE. All the PrCs on the site that I looked at have this same typo. The other one is is in the description of the Teras Kasi style. "Mastery of the Teras Kasi style is generally a long and dif×××ult..." A couple of typos I noticed.

I had actually errata-ed it for my own use, but I guess it never got updated on the official file. Thanks for pointing that out. The attack is actually compared to Will Defense, as the knockdown effect is more an issue of leverage rather than brute strength similar to Judo or Aikido. Good catch.

You can’t use this talent to knock down targets two or more size categories larger than you." Is it me, or does that seem a bit too powerful? I'd give it a condition along the lines of "if the attack roll exceeds the target's damage threshold/fortitude reflex" ? If there is something I overlooked, or I'm just not talking sense, please do notify me ;) “Hijkata: When you damage an opponent with an unarmed attack, you knock the target prone in addition to dealing normal damage.

This allows you to add an additional amount of damage equal to 1/2 your (Martial Artist) class level (a value ranging from +1-5) to unarmed damage rolls. This is effectively the same as the Gunslinger prestige class feature "Trusty Sidearm". Normally you would add 1/2 your character level as a bonus on all damage rolls.

I'm sorry, would you explain this? as well as the additions after each incremental level? Does this mean that instead of half your level to damage you add the full level + the respective... addition (+5 max)? Or does this mean that you previously didn't gain a level benifit to damage when fighting unarmed? And if that's the case, what's the point of the +? Could you give an example for that? chrisjcrane@gmail.com ((Mighty Blow
