Cosmic Hunters (OOC)

[Geeksthenewsexy]

Go for it! I'm glad to see the Silver Key class actually put to good use, it's not a famously powerful PrC so it's nice to see a case where it actually is powerful!

Right?! I absolutely adore the Silver Key class concept. For 'offbeat' PrC's, Silver Key, Trapsmith, Combat Trapsmith are probably my Top 3 favorite. (Though using Racial Emulation feat to pick up race-restricted classes and substitution levels, and feats in general, makes me gleefully happy as well) None of them are 'powerful' and they are all extremely specialised and hard to make useful....but they all hold a special place in my heart. If Invisible Blade didnät have seriously stupid prerequisite (why tf do you need Point Blank Shot and Far shot for a class all about feinting with a dagger?!?!?), I'd have been able to squeeze in the Portal Sensative feat to really perfect the build.

Being able to detect an active or inactive portal as if it were a normal secret door (Search DC 20) is super helpful for Silver Keys' capstone ability, and becomes amazing in a setting like Sigil. If you merely pass within 5 feet of a portal, you are entitled to a Search check to notice it as if you were actively looking for it. You also gain a +2 bonus on your caster level check when trying to discern portal properties with the analyze portal spell. I ended up taking Trap Sensativity (literally the same feat, but for mechanical traps instead of portals) because otherwise, I forget to check for traps. lol

Will definitely be taking Portal Sensitive if we make it to lvl 21. Had to waste a feat on Quick Draw because I needed a Crystal of Truedeath instead of a Crystal of Return so as not to be utterly useless against every undead critter in 3.5 And while Skill focus Bluff wasnät strictly necessary, my OCD made me take it to have an even +50 to my bluff checks. Changeling Rogue's ability to take 10 means anything that can be feinted needs to roll 60 or higher on a Sense Motive or be feinted every single round. No dexterity dodge bonus for you!!!
