It's a little hard to have an oriental setting without throwing a bone to all the Rurouni Kenshin fans out there (and all the other iaido archetypes of Japanese history/mythology), so I thought I'd offer [[Iaijutsu_Master_(3.5e_Prestige_Class)|this one]]--a non-sucky version that doesn't rely on a single skill that's a pain to use. It's not exactly a Tome-specific PrC, but I think it can stand at around the same level as classes such as the Assassin, Thief-Acrobat, and Knight (though doubtful compared to classes like the Wizard, Cleric, or Druid, or Tome-variations of classes like the Fighter or Samurai). Still, with something like the Combat Looting feat to sheathe as a free action, it might be wizard-level. --[[User:Ghostwheel|Ghostwheel]] 05:09, August 12, 2010 (UTC)

: Awesome! I always enjoyed the idea behind that class, but hated the iaijutsu focus skill(and the blank levels). The balance shouldn't be too much of a problem, since some of the Tome stuff is Rogue level(and if what I've read is correct, winning encounters 50% of the time was the original ideal).

Replacement for Iaijutsu Master

It's a little hard to have an oriental setting without throwing a bone to all the Rurouni Kenshin fans out there (and all the other iaido archetypes of Japanese history/mythology), so I thought I'd offer this one--a non-sucky version that doesn't rely on a single skill that's a pain to use. It's not exactly a Tome-specific PrC, but I think it can stand at around the same level as classes such as the Assassin, Thief-Acrobat, and Knight (though doubtful compared to classes like the Wizard, Cleric, or Druid, or Tome-variations of classes like the Fighter or Samurai). Still, with something like the Combat Looting feat to sheathe as a free action, it might be wizard-level. --Ghostwheel 05:09, August 12, 2010 (UTC)
