The Chameleon (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/iw/20041210b&page=1) looks like a great class. But I've got a problem with it: It seems designed to be started at level 6 (8 ranks in the highest skill to qualify), and it's ten levels... but there's nowhere to go when it's done. It doesn't much feed into other PrC's, you can't really qualify for other things based on it, and so on. It just feels lacking to me in that regard.
So here's an attempt at expanding the class for another five levels:
{table=head]Level |Attack Bonus |Fort Save |Ref Save |Will Save |Special |0|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9
11th |+8 |+3|+3|+3 |Bonus Feat, Qualification|4|4|4|4|4|4|2|0
12th |+9 |+4|+4|+4 |Mimic Class Feature 4/day|4|4|4|4|4|4|3|1
13th |+9 |+4|+4|+4 |Ability Boon +8|4|4|4|4|4|4|4|2|0
14th |+10 |+4|+4|+4 |Triple Aptitude|4|4|4|4|4|4|4|3|1
15th |+11 |+5|+5|+5 |Aptitude Focus 4/day (+6), Mimic Class Feature 5/day|4|4|4|4|4|4|4|4|2|0
[/table]
All class features work exactly like the base class feature - triple aptitude, of course, is just double aptitude with three aptitudes. The bonus feat was thrown in at 11th to cut down on the dead levels. Exception: The caster level from Chamelon levels doesn't increase as quickly after 10th. Your caster level goes up by only one per class level from 11th on, meaning that your caster level never exceeds your character level +5 from class levels alone.
Qualification (Ex): At level 11, your Aptitude Focus will let you meet prerequisites for the purposes of qualifying for your Chameleon Bonus Feats only (this does not let your Aptitude Focus qualify you for regular feats or for prestige classes).
