Rationale

Some of current PDK abilities are not working properly, and some are not very useful on the mod. Duration of the abilities is the major concern, as it only lasts a minute or two for level 40 PDK, and it requires change.

Stated Goals

Change would allow players to explore more into PDK builds, as there is hardly any PDKs around.

  • Level 1: Fear
  • Level 3: Final Stand
  • Level 5: Heroic Shield, Sacred Right [*]
  • Level 7: Inspire Courage*
  • Level 10: Oath of Wrath
  • Level 13: Valiance
  • Level 15: Pious Demand
  • Level 17: Bonus Feat
  • Level 20: Vengeance
  • Level 25: Rallying Cry
  • Level 40: Virtue
[*]Maybe these can be just 1 button thing.
