On the matter of homebrew, any chance of my subtle link finding its way in?  It's no big, I was just trying to find a way to justify my entertainer background.  I've been playing too much 3.P, I forgot how much more painful cross-class skills are in 3.5.

Eh, it's not all that broken compared to what you can easily do with a fighter or barbarian if you put your mind to it (+3 to hit and tanking ability over 6 levels?). Also, far better than Anthropomorphic Bat, which has 1RHD and 0LA and thus would be perfectly acceptable by the rules you're using. Or the official ghost class.

Removes the bother of having to optimise, anyway.

What is it your exactly wanting out of your subtitle link? I just opened your classes and my brain malfunctioned. So this will be quicker if I know what you want me to look at exactly.

I believe the trait he mentioned that gives full ranks in Profession or... something. I can't remember the other one.

Yea, but from what i gathered if left to its own devices this could get broken fast. I mean personally where i saw that headed was building a perfect monstrous race for what you want towards classes after you lvl 6 it.

My classes?  Oh wait, I think you're looking at the link in my sig and not

Oops, I spilled my homebrew all over the floor!  Don't mind me, or this tempting fragment!

Basically it's just a way to get free ranks in a useless skill.  I sometimes run games where I give it away free, but I figured it might pass mustard as a trait.

I love perform skills myself, but I'm also a big fan of bardic type classes lol :p
I just love my ninjas more. :)

Eh, it really depends. For instance, I still have plans to use it for a fine-sized butterfly ninja at some point, which isn't terribly threatening but is good at hiding. :p

Changelog:
Adjusted values to represent Pathfinder skill set (1 rank max atm, +3 class bonus when appropriate).  And the trait, which I'm putting in Perform since I never plan to pick up any bard levels.

Oh, and shuffling around some items to afford an instrument.  A lute should be a good stand in for a shamisen.  Merci.

As a last minute thought you are not yet associated with the clans, you know of them, but are not a part of them. If you wish to join one later you may. If you play a class that has to have a class such as samurai choose a clan that suits the feata your supposed to have to choose from for bonus feats, but you currently right now remain clanless.

Well we don't wanna change to much so if you want you can still be associated with a clan. After some thought i can still work it in. That's my bad tho. :p lol.
