[edit] Slave Driver
The Slave Driver is a frontline combatant who uses a whip to great effects, including devastating damage, and "motivation". He is a brutal, cruel, twisted man, with no mercy, and no concern for the well being of even his greatest friends, a whip in his hands is at least as dangerous as any sword. Very few Slave Drivers are good.

[edit] Class Features
All of the following are class features of the Slave Driver.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A Slave Driver is proficient with all simple weapons, whips and all armor, but not shields.
Deadly Lash: A Slave Driver becomes so accustomed with, and skilled at, using whips that he may choose to deal lethal damage to any target regardless of weather.
Painful Lash: A Slave Driver wielding a whip may choose to inflict a great and painful wound to his target, this attack deals an extra 1d6 damage at first level, this amount increases by 1d6 with each additional 2 levels. This damage only applies to a maximum of one attack per whip, per round.
Slave Keeper: A Slave Driver may keep all subdued enemy creatures and/or hirelings as slaves.
Get Back to Work!: Many Slave Drivers give rise to the phrase "No rest for the weary" as they brutally lash their allies back into action, as a full-round action, the Slave Driver may whip any ally in a square he threatens in order to grant that ally an extra turn, beginning immediately after the Driver's ends, this turn does not change the initiative order of the battle, every four levels after the driver gains this abillity (6th, 10th, 14th) untill 10th level, the time this ability takes to use decreases (standard action at 6th, move action at 10th, swift action at 14th)
Whipmaster's Reach: A Slave Driver of 5th level or higher gains an aditional 5ft of reach when wielding a whip.
Pick up the Pace!: A Slave Driver will not tolerate slow workers, or slow allies for that matter, when an ally begins a move action, or an action involving a move action (such as charging) the Slave Driver may make an attack of oppertunity, as if this ally was a foe; If this attack hits, the startled foe gains a speed increase of 5 feet x the Charisma modifier of the Slave Driver.
Slave: The Slave Driver truly becomes a Slave Driver at 10th level when he gains the "Service" of a Cohort, 2 levels lower then himself, this cohort can be of any class or alignment, and is not affected by the Slave Driver's leadership score (if any).
Cat o' Many Tails: At 15th level the Driver becomes so very adept at using his whip that he can treat it as if it had multiple "tails" and as such he can either attack 2 adjacent opponents with each attack or, one opponent twice, this ability imposes a -2 to the Slave Driver's attack roll when used.
Painful Tactics: A 18th level Slave Driver's viciousness knows no bounds, and even when he attacks an opponent tactically (Bullrushing, Tripping, or Disarming) with his whip, he may deal damage as if he had simply attacked the target.
Fearsome Lash: The very idea of feeling the pain caused by a 20th level Slave Driver is enough to cause almost anyone to run in fear. Whenever a Slave Driver whips a target, and uses his Painful Lash, that target is affected as if the spell, Cause Fear had been cast, with the following differences, creatures are affected regardless of their hit-dice, and the Will save DC is determined with 10 + Slave Driver Level + Cha.
[edit] Ex-Slave Driver
A Slave Driver who turns lawful loses the service of his Slave, and cannot gain levels as a Slave Driver until he becomes non-lawful again.
