General Discussion / Re: PRC 3.5 beta 1

Nice to see the PRC development going on.
I’ve tested a bit the Expanded Psionics feats and find no trouble with them.
I had a bug in 3.4 where the game asked for more cantrips than the Duskblade could have but it’s fixed with this version.
The blade magic (maneuvers and stance) have feats a bit similar to the Expanded Psionics that allow to gain new stance or maneuvers (in fact there is several of them). But contrary to the psionics it is available to any characters, so it might not be that simple to add.
It would be nice to be able to have them implemented but it’s no big priority. What lacks more is the ability to change maneuvers as blade magic class level improves. At 4th level and every odd level after that (6th, 8th… ), it should be possible to replace a maneuver by another of any level available. Replacement for spells already exists in PRC, for example for the witch class, but maybe the any level available part makes it tricky to add. It would really help the blade magic class scale at higher level. Another point on blade magic, the Recover Maneuvers works strangely. With a Warblade or a Swordsage, I had to wait 60 seconds for the maneuvers to be ready again while, according to the pseudo-feat text, it should either be one round for all (in case of Warblade) or a full round for just one. At the end of an encounter, all should be recovered too, and it’s not the case.
I forgot to mention Skill Focus (TrueSpeech). I thought the feat didn’t work but it change the DC of the truenaming rather than the skill. The description of the feat should mention it. By the way many time, as in this feat, truespeech is used instead of truespeak.
In the process of checking if this skill focus feat is working, I remarked than the PC doesn’t get any bonus when targeting itself with it’s truemagick. It’s indicated that when when incorporating a truename in an utterance, the DC get +2 but as the PC has a +4 competence bonus to speak it’s own name, there is no reason not to do it every time it target itself and gain a -2 to DC (+2 DC and +4 to skill).
By the way is there a place to report bugs (and see if they already are indicated) ?
