Love the class.  Anticipate is a sweet ability and I like it.  Anyway, I was wondering why you think of this class as a melee class?  I noticed you listed the Advancement Examples as Assassin, Shadowdancer, and Duelist.  Also the NPC holds a halberd.  I would have expected a ranged combatant.  Someone who can shoot you with a bow but you can never catch them.  Or is this one of those ninja things?  Good job here.  --[[User:Jay Freedman|Jay Freedman]] 07:50, September 17, 2009 (UTC)

: The main reason this doesn't work for ranged attackers is because it doesn't give an extra source of damage to ranged attacks. Where most ranged attackers [[Shower_of_Arrows_(3.5e_Optimized_Character_Build)|need a secondary]] [[Machine_Gun_Assassin_(3.5e_Optimized_Character_Build)|source of damage]], the MW shoehorns characters becoming chargers (Leap Attack + Shock Trooper), since virtually all of its combat abilities make you a better charger and that's the primary reason to take it. If you went with a bow and continually ran away, you'd be stuck turtling the whole time, which in D&D is virtually never a good option. --[[User:Ghostwheel|Ghostwheel]] 08:04, September 17, 2009 (UTC)

::this class would stack very well with [[User:ThunderGod Cid]]'s [[Tenken (3.5e Class)]], making an already fast character be even more effective at charging around the battlefield. --[[User:Azerinth|Azerinth]] 23:36, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

:::First, I disapprove of "instinct" bonuses, I think they're pointless.  They can be insight or alchemical or anything already in the game.  Even untyped.

:::Whatever, there's some oddities in this class.  Specifically what's coming out to me is the Uncanny Speed.  It's clear it's supposed to be the instinct bonus x 10 for your speed, but as it reads that's not what it does.

:::I know Rith isn't here anymore, perhaps someone should go over the class with a comb and make adjustments.  I don't think it's too far out to remove the instinct bonus nonsense and just have it untyped or obscure-typed either. -- [[User:Eiji-kun|Eiji-kun]] ([[User talk:Eiji-kun|talk]]) 03:24, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
