[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 3894386, member: 29014"] Here we go--crossposted from SitS [SBLOCK=Degree Stuff]The Loremaster Prestige Class is an in-game construct--they award all outstanding Diviners the same Magus status in Divination, not just Loremasters. Just like they need not necessarily have the Archmage PrC to have Archmage status (almost no one has that status, though, so it doesn't matter. I believe there have been three to receive it in the last fifty years, and all are missing or presumed dead. Umbryn Albion is thought to have Archmage status, but no one living remembers when he got it. Rayne Liore is close to receiving it, but she has been unable to complete some of the final requirements yet. The Magus Staff is pretty cool--it's an arcane nexus, and I'm in the middle of writing some feats for advanced Academy studies too (so that Academy Magus can be an official feat). It's not just a thesis--it's a program of study that is 2 years+, including oral exams, a technical qualifying exam, etc. The time can be handwaved outside of adventures, but if someone comes to them with money and a written thesis and says 'give me the degree', they still won't award the degree. Heck, most adventurer Academy Graduates have the Journeyman's Degree only. AFAIK, the only LEW semi-playable character with the Wizard's (also has the Master's) is a cohort. Journeyman's typically requires mastery of all cantrips (except from barred schools of course) and a certain level of familiarity with 1st-level spells. It is designed for adventurers. It is technically possible to graduate with the Journeyman's without mastering 1st level spells yet (for those who would like to be X/Wizard and take their second level in Wizard and claim to study at the Academy), but it is frowned upon. For Wizard's, one requirement is that you must be able to cast at least 2 2nd-level spells, preferably more--no exceptions. You also must be able to scribe scrolls. For Master's, you must be able to perform some degree of metamagic (or create Wondrous Items for Omega) and cast at least two 3rd-level spells. )[/SBLOCK] [/QUOTE]
