[QUOTE="Geron Raveneye, post: 120479, member: 2268"] There´s a thought that came into my head while reading all the different possibilities on how to express the Knights of Solamnia or the Wizards of High Sorcery in 3E terms. Most seem to lean towards the prestige class solution, which is understandable, as it´s the easiest way out. In my opinion, prestige classes don´t quite cover the feel of either organization, though...and as many have argued against new core classes, I tried to find a way inbetween, to modify an existing core class so it fits the roles on Krynn. Up to now, there are two major methods to modify a character, as far as I know. One is a prestige class, which is essentially a new class that specializes the character on his chosen path, and whose levels are added to his character levely as if he was multiclassing. The other is a template, a "shell" that is slipped over the character to give him the features of a monster-like creature. How about combining both, to create a "Template Prestige Class", a class that acts like a template in that it only modifies the current class with a bunch of special abilities, but acts as a prestige class in so far as there are requirements that need to be fulfilled to take that template, and that the bonus features are depending on the character level? Just as a disclaimer ;) : I don´t know if something like this has already been done in any supplement or rulebook, or maybe on a fansite. If yes, would someone please be so kind and direct me there or give me the source? I´d be very grateful :) [/QUOTE]
