I have a feeling this is overpowered, or atleast akwardly balanced... so any help in fixing it (particularly the prerequsists, they feel really generic to me, but I can't figure out how to fix them) would be greatly appreciated. All other comments, criticiums (spelling?) and even praise are always welcome as well.

Hit Dice: d6
Skill Points: 2+ Int

Class Abilities:

Storm-blessed Weapons (su): At first level, any melee weapon you weild that you are proficent with is treated as haing the Thundering special Ability. Any ranged weapon you weild that you are proficent with is treated as though it had the Shock special ability
Stroke of Lightning (su): As a standard action, a Stormchild of second level or higher can release a stroke of lighting as a ranged touch attack. If the target is wearing metal armor, the Stormchild gets a +1 bonus to attack. The attack does 1d6/2 levels electricity damage.
Clap of Thunder (su): As a standard action, a Stormchild of third level or higher can emit of sudden clap of thunder from her hand, as a melee touch attack. The attack does 1d4/2 levels sonic damage. On a critical hit, the target must make a reflex save DC (10+wisdom mod+1/2 class level) or be knocked prone.
Storm Resistances: At fourth level, a Stormchild gains resistance 10 to electricity and sonic. At ninth level, this resistance increases to 20.
Ride the Winds (su): At 5th level, the Stormchild gains a fly speed of 40ft (average manuverability). She cannot fly in medium of heavy armor, or with a meduim or heavy load. At 10th level, her fly speed increases to 50ft, her manuverability becomes good, and she gains the ability to fly in meduim armor, or with a medium load.
Lightning Leap (sp): A Stormchild of atleast sixth level can dimension slide once per day as a spell-like ability. Physial beareriars still block her path, as per the spell (power?), but creatures do not. The Stormchild does not travel through the astral plane, as is normal for this spell (power), but instead breifly becomse a bolt of lightning, and flashes from one location to the other. Any creature in the path of her travel takes damage as if struck by her Stroke of Lightning ability (Ref half [ DC=10+wis mod+1/2 class level ])
Wind Wall (sp): A seventh level Stormchild can use Wind Wall, as the spell, three times per day at her normal caster level
Greater Storm Blessing (su): as per Storm Blessed Weapons, but mellee weapons do +2 sonic damage on a non-critical hit, and ranged weapons gains Shocking Burst instead of Shock.


So there it is. let me kow what you think!

Not sure if you've read Complete Divine, but that is really close to the Prestige Class Stormlord

Admittedly that's a specialist cleric of a storm god, where this is more of a druid, but shock/thundering enhanced spears/javelins, level 4 resistance 10/elect
immunity to storm effects (like lightning, rain, wind driven objects) make it very similar

Actually, the Stormlord was my inspiration for this. I alwasy liked the idea behind it, but found the class itself less than satisfactory, particularly for a druid rather than a cleric. So I wrote this more or less as a replacement for the stormlord.

And thank you, by the way, Inyssius. I had no idea how to do that, or I'd have done it in the original post. :smallbiggrin:
