First Post
I am at work and without books, so forgive the roughness here. I have had a moderate-ly cool idea (like a 6.5 out of 10) for a Prestige Class and I want to A) get it written down before I forget too much of it and B) get ground-floor input from EN'ers as to its develop-ability.
Prestige Class name here. (Ideas so far: Knothing-er, Nullen Voider. I know these suck. Please help!)

Prereqs:
-Eschew Materials (I would like to make it Spontaneous casters only, but I would like feedback on that)
-Impr. Unarmed
-Vow of Poverty (plus Ascetic???)
I would like this PrC to be kind of like a shadow-adept + shadowdancer + jedi... only without shadows or the Force involved. A character who lives for the DM-trick of "You awake in a dark prison cell, with no equipment, weapons, or bearings." A character who, as they get more powerful, actually withdraw from reality and become less corporeal over time, and have less in common with the Material Plane.
I would like to end it (@ 5th or 10th level) with something from Ghostwalk or BoED, etc... some kind of template add-on that would give you Risen Martyr + Ghost like characteristics, yet allow you to still be alive and kicking (sort of) in the "real world".
I think that with each level, you would have a %age higher chance of not being able to be ressurected, or reincarnated, but of becoming a true ghost and retaining your knowledge and memory.
Skill list should be all self-suffiecnt type skills + magic user skills. +1 caster level for levels 1-4 and 6-9, with a significant attribute/gameplay bonus @ 5th and the template add-on @ 10.
Basically, just an individual who is totally self reliant. is a caster, but casts innately (I think it *has* to be that way, unfortunately) and fights, but without equipment, and grows more powerful by becoming even LESS dependant on physical things. But losees his/her *humanity* for lack of a better term during the process. I wouldn't even mind seeing some kind of madness or insanity score reflected in the class, as progressing would push you further from yuor mortal coil.
Thoughts, ideas... suggestions. I will try and do some number crunching and table-making later at home... but just want basic thoughts for now.
thanks... jay.
