Usefullness of the Harper Scout

I think your right Chewie, they took another prestige class out, and put that in, but I can't remember what it was. I played one once, and have to agree with Legolas. I sure could have put those five lvls somewhere else.

The Eagle's Splendor ability obviously goes quite well with the Paladin's charisma-related boni, Invisibility can come in handy from time to time, and the other stuff, although indeed only moderately useful, adds a bit of flavor to you run-of-the-mill vanilla Paladin. You can do a lot worse, character-wise, both from roleplaying and powergaming points of view.

Adding fighter and/or COT levels to a paladin makes a lot more sense. [img]smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]If everyone only ever did things which make sense, the world would be a very boring place. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I seem to recall seeing that WOTC said this class is only 5 levels when BIOWARE wanted to make it a 10 level class.

Ranger/Rogue/Harper Scout. The Ranger class gets a decent boost to its' will save, keeps a decent amount of skill points/choices and gains some useful abilities that allow the Ranger to keep pace with the Fighter and the Paladin at pre-epic levels. Combining the Scout's Sleep and the Rogue's sneak attack can be a way of dealing with roomfuls of weak bad guys, and with two small weapons/ranged weapon, weapon finesse, some light armour and two castings of Cat's Grace, the build can hold its' own in a combat situation.
