[QUOTE="LiquidBlue, post: 3185403, member: 40911"] I can understand this feeling, and I mostly agree. However, the Thaumaturgist is one example of a SRD prestige class that has a single entry point (Lesser Planar Ally can only be achieve through seventh level cleric spellcasting.) I intentionally made the class useful exclusively to bards. I thought that the class would too powerful if it gave +1 level of existing spellcasting level to full progression spellcasters. Perhaps I was incorrect in my thinking, In which case the spells per day could be expanded from +1 of bard level. In this case the class would be very useful for muticlass bard/other spellcaster, as it would advance the bard abilities and the other spellcaster class. The class was originally named simply the Lorekeeper, but I was concerned that it would be too easily confused with the Loremaster, so I instead named it the Itinerate Lorekeeper. I agree that at first glance there are many simularities between the two classes. Perhaps the greatest difference is that despite its flavor, the Loremaster class is a poor choice for a bard. The Loremaster introduces a non-stackable mechanic similar to bardic knowledge, and it requires three item creation or metamagic feats, which for the bard as a less than full progression, spntaneous spellcaster are a very poor use of feats. Thus, though some bards would fit well with the flavor or idea of the loremaster, bards are a very poor choice with the loremaster. I considered proposing that the Baric Sage be accepted as another core class, but as the variant merely adds to the class without taking much away (Poor reflex saves and inspire courage lasts 2 rounds less.), it was a simple matter to simply implement it as a prestige class.
