Attention Spellswords! Important!

[Dorganath]

With the pending update, the Spellsword PrC will receive some changes. None of these changes should be significant in the respect that they will require character changes. However, we believe we've addressed the short-comings of the PrC as well as fixed a couple of bugs with existing abilities. The new Spellsword progression will be as follows:

• Imbue I (Level 1) - The Spell Sword can channel energy into her weapon temporarily enchanting it with elemental damage, this is useable once per day and lasts for one TURN per level of the spell sword.
• Ignore Spell Failure 20% (Level 2) - The Spell Sword reduces spell failure chance by this amount.
• Ignore Spell Failure 25% (Level 3) - The Spell Sword reduces spell failure chance by this amount.
• Imbue II (Level 4) - The Spell Sword can channel energy into her weapon temporarily enchanting it with elemental damage, this replaces Imbue I and is useable twice per day, damage increases from d6 to d8 and lasts for one turn per level of the spell sword.
• Ignore Spell Failure 30% (Level 5) - The Spell Sword reduces spell failure chance by this amount.
• (Level 6) BONUS FEAT
• Ignore Spell Failure 35% (Level 7) - The Spell Sword reduces spell failure chance by this amount.
• Ignore Spell Failure 45% (Level 8 ) - The Spell Sword reduces spell failure chance by this amount.
• Imbue III (Level 10) - The Spell Sword can channel magic into her weapon temporarily enchanting it with special abilities, they can choose from wounding, vampiric, or vorpal and it is useable once per day and lasts for one turn per level of the spell sword. Also the damage for Imbue II increases from d8 to 2d6.

  Spellswords gain one caster level every other level after the first. Respectively at 1,3,5,7,9. Gaining all benefits of durations and improved spellcasting, but not any other benefits from their spellcasting class.

*applauds* Well done, those changes just made the PrC much more appealing.

I played a spellsword once and I agree this is much more apealing. One question though. Does the spellsword have to take caster lvls to get new spells?

  Does the spellsword have to take caster lvls to get new spells?

 Yes.
  Spellsword levels now count toward the effective caster level for things like duration, damage and whatever else.

Is the Bonus Feat at level 6 taken from the Fighter list, the Wizard list, or any feat at all?

[Dorganath]

It's any feat the character can access.
  Though to clarify, it's not one of the other feats the Spellsword gets at Level 7, 8 or 10.

Will I need to re-level my character?  I would qualify to pick up the bonus feat.

[Dorganath]

You may, yes.
