Vorab, ja, ich habe die Suchfunktion mehrmals zu Rate gezogen und bereits bemerkt, dass es mehrere Versuche gab, Prestigeklassen für einen Sunepaladin zu entwerfen und dass man sich gerade bei den doch sehr Charisma orientierten Fähigkeiten leicht überschätzt, was die Balance angeht. Nichtsdestoweniger ist hier ein neuer Versuch, da ich nach einer Prestigeklasse für meinen aktuellen Charakter suche (Paladin of Freedom 9). Er soll also nie allgemeine Geltung erlangen, ich brauche einzig Hilfe beim Einschätzen der Fähigkeiten.
ACHTUNG: Der Flufftext und viele andere Texte sind eine schlichte Kopie der "Gallant" Prestigeklasse. Er soll nur die gewünschte Richtung angeben, nicht mehr.
The RosebladeThere is no hero as pure and romantic as the Roseblade. He travels the land on the wings of romance and true love, stealing the hearts of the young and lightening the spirits of the elderly. He is a charming aesthete at heart, who seeks to overcome the daily doldrums of life by defending innocence and love and finding truth and beauty in poetry, art, and romance. More often than not, the Roseblade lacks a certain appreciation for book learning and politics, usually choosing to remain blissfully ignorant of the real world around him – though he is not necessarily naïve. Rather, he takes nothing too seriously but his quest for passion. Nevertheless, his interests – or rather lack of certain interests – often land him in trouble.
Roseblades travel the land in search of beauty, true love, and adventure. Their romantic outlook is such that they can always imagine a purer life just over the next ridge. Thus, most try to never stay in one place for long and instead wander, often from tournament to tournament dedicating their performance to an admirer or lover. Although others often win these tournaments, Roseblades often win the hearts of the onlookers and steal the day’s glory away from the victorious warriors. Of course, this often causes a lot of friction between Roseblades and jealous warriors. Roseblades also adventure to fulfill promises made to fair maidens, retrieve an item of beauty and love, or for some other romantic cause – including the simple romanticized notion of adventure. In these situations, Roseblades adopt the role of the heroic fighter and charge forward regardless of the dangers that lie ahead.
Aristocrats, bards, paladins, and rogues make the best Roseblades, although the occasional expert or cleric of Sune opts to become a Roseblade. Other classes usually find the Rosebladeslifestyle difficult to measure up to or understand. .

Song of Hope (Su): A Roseblade may inspire powerful hope in his allies. Good-aligned creatures within 30 feet of the Roseblade who are his allies gain a +2 moral bonus on saving throws against fear and all enchanting or enthralling effects.

He adds his Charisma bonus to his attack roll and deals one extra point of damage per Ruby Rose Knight level. If he accidently smites a creature that is not evil, the smite has no effect but the ability is still used up for that day.
He can use this ability more times per day as he advances in level at level 6 and 9.
Beauty of the Rose (Su): At eigth level the Roseblade gains an inherent + 2 Charima bonus.
Ashborn Rose (Ex): At tenth level, a Roseblade may call up for the power of sune to meet calmly his fate. He may add his charisma modfier to his armor class ( to the maximum of 10 at tenth level) and gains additional hitpoints equal to half his charisma modifiers per level of the Roseblade Prestige Class (to a maximum of 100 temporal hitpoints)
A Roseblade may use this ability once per day and it lasts for 1 round/ constitution modifier (to a maximun of 10).
Jealous goodness: Roseblades aren’t allowed to multiclass any other level than paladin, cleric or - if the Roseblade prestige class isn't yet completed - Roseblade levels.
Ex-Roseblades: A Roseblades who becomes anything different than chaotic good loses all his class features, except weapon and armor proficiencies. He may regain his abilities, if he atones for his violations (see the atonement spell description on pages 201-202 of the Player’s Handbook).
Die Rosenklinge, sowie die Zauberfähigkeit machen mir derzeit am meisten Probleme.
Das Schwert soll die Prestigeklasse auf eine einzige Waffe festlegen, was an sich ja schonmal eindeutige Nachteile in sich trägt, da sie die Golfschlägereinstellung verbietet.
Deswegen bekommt es, je weiter man in der Prestigeklasse aufsteigt, bestimmte Eigenschaften, nur welche? Magischer Bonus bis wieviel? Zusatzeffekte wie heilig oder magische Waffe, Silber um Schadensreduzierungen zu überwinden? Ein Dauerhafter Dornenzauber ab dem letzten Level? Soll es nur bösen Kreaturen richtigen Schaden zufügen können und allen anderen nur Betäubungsschaden? Ich stehe ratlos auf verlassenem Flur.
Ähnlich die Zauberfähigkeit. Ganz streichen? Generell dachte ich an etwas ähnlich der Zuaberliste des heiligen Befreiers, nur dass man den ganzen "against-law-Quatsch" rauslässt, einige schwächere mind affecting spells reinpackt und das ganze auf Charisma basieren lässt.
Soweit, so schlecht. Zerreißt mich.
