Though many warriors exist throughout the land, there are some that have proven themselves worthy of special recognition. Not only for their promise in combat, but their unusual capabilities compared to others of their race. Prodigal Warriors are, as their name would suggest, physical prodigies. They are capable of feats of physical prowess that other members of their race could never think were possible. In their prodigal abilities comes a certain responsibility in how they handle the public, and the many followers that they are sure attain. Those in awe of their capabilities.

[edit] Becoming a Prodigal Warrior

Prodigal Warriors are feared and adored, they are masters of combat. Most often, a character who becomes a Prodigal Warrior has little choice in the matter. They were born prodigies, and their abilities have more or less decided the path that they've taken. Most often, Prodigal Warriors are found among humans because of their incredible versatility, but they are found among all of the races in some degree. Prodigal Warriors also find themselves most heavily populated with members of the Fighter class, though it is not unusual to find Barbarian, Ranger, or even Rogue Prodigal Warriors.

[edit] Class Features

All of the following are class features of the Prodigal Warrior.

Bonus Feats (Ex): At 1st, 4th, and 8th level, a Prodigal Warrior gets a bonus combat-oriented feat. These bonus feats must be drawn from the feats noted as fighter bonus feats. A Prodigal Warrior must still meet all prerequisites for a bonus feat, including ability score and base attack bonus minimums.

Prodigy (Ex): Prodigal Warriors are physically superior to other members of their race and are extraordinarily more capable of improving themselves physically. Prodigal Warriors choose a physical ability (either Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution) and every single ability point attained that is used improving this ability instead improves it by two. This ability is retroactive.

Uncanny Dodge (Ex): At 2nd level, a Prodigal Warrior retains his Dexterity bonus to AC (if any) even if he is caught flat-footed or struck by an invisible attacker. However, he still loses his Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized. If a Prodigal Warrior already has uncanny dodge from a different class, he automatically gains improved uncanny dodge (see below) instead.

Lethal Hands (Ex): Prodigal Warriors are prepared for almost any situation in combat. Even when they aren't prepared. At 3rd level, they gain the improved Unarmed Strike feat.

Minor Prodigal Ability (Ex): At 5th level, the Prodigal Warrior gains an ability based on the physical ability that they chose at 1st level.

If the Prodigal Warrior chose Strength, he gets Rending. This gives him Improved Grapple as a bonus feat and for each round he spends in a grapple, he deals a certain amount of damage to his enemy while literally tearing him apart. If the Prodigal Warrior has the enemy pinned, he deals 2d6 + 1.5(Strength Modifier) Bludgeoning and Slashing damage. If he is the controller of the grapple, but does not have the enemy pinned, he deals 1d8 + 1.5(Strength Modifier) Bludgeoning and Slashing damage. If he is being controlled in the grapple, he deals 1d6 + Strength Modifier Bludgeoning damage. If he is pinned, he cannot use this ability. This damage takes the place of any attacks he could make that round.

If the Prodigal Warrior chose Dexterity
