Too strong. Take note that the Mage and Acolt classes both have a power cap at 5th level, meaning it should be about equal to a 10th level Incarnate, not a 20th level. You have that set on everything except the chakra binds available. The Chakra Binds should not exceed those of a 10th level Incarnate.

Also, what about HD? Skills? Action Points?

The Chakra Binds should not exceed those of a 10th level Incarnate.In exchange for this they get a plethora of new abilities, which I didn't want to give to the Incarnate.


Also, what about HD? Skills? Action Points?Forgot to add them in, there now.

I'll only do the martial adept for now.

In d20 modern advanced classes tend to have bonus feats at levels divisable by 3 and 6 action points a level. I'd increase the base attack bonus one step, though I wouldn't give them good base attack. I've never seen a d20 modern class with dead levels either.

On the skills, I'm guessing you did the skills to be lazy and are open to doing more work on them. Strong heroes get handle animal (not very martial adept like) but not tumble (very martial adept like). I'd come up with your own custom skill list making sure that discipline key skills are on it.

I'd reduce saves to average. Most advanced classes that get a save that ends up at +7 only get one good save or have another save at average progression.
