What is your favorite PrC from Masters of the Wild?

reasons for your decision would be welcome, especially if you have chosen *other*...

Due to an interesting turn of events I get to start playing in a new campaign in a couple of weeks. And I'm shooting for the Shifter prestige class, and that my friends is the highest compliment I can give a PrC, that I choose it over the tens if not hundreds of other PrC's out there.

I voted animal lord for PC, since it'd just be fun to be able to polymorph into your chosen creature at will, and have a bunch of them as your allies. It'd also make a nice villain, with say a wolflord (though an Elephant lord would be cool!).

But for villainous nastiness, I have to go with the undead druid prestige class. What was it called again? Just the thought of a druid accompanied by a small army of emaciated, rotting forest creatures is revolting enough to make a great encounter. Or, ooh, what about one of these druids, living in a half-sunken pirateship, with a skeletal crew haunting it, and this druid guarding its treasure with her undead shark minions.

Well, I'll say one thing: about half of the choices on your list I consider the weakest prestige class choices in the book. Geomancer and oozemaster, for example, are a little too wierd. (But one of my players says he wants to play a geomancer, which I guess says someting...) Forsaker is also worrisome, and reminds me bitterly of the old magic item hating barbarian of the 1e Unearthed Arcana.

Shifter is okay, but there was a similar class in OA, so the shifter is a little redundant with an existing WotC book.

I chose windrider, but I like animal lord and tamer of the beasts for similar reasons: they fill an existing need. I had been planning to write up similar prestige classes in my game for some time.

The foe hunter is somewhat bland, but very flexible and also easily fills a variety of roles in my game, such as the yuan-ti hating amazons in the south and the giant hunters in the mountainous regions of my game.

Definately Bane of the Infidels! I always thought of Druids as somewhat wussy tree huggers until I saw this prestige class. Now I can play a Druid who performs sacrifices and can burn people alive! Sort of the way Jack Chick would portray Druids

But for villainous nastiness, I have to go with the undead druid prestige class. What was it called again?

That's the blighter. It seemed conceptually similar to the wasteland druid in AEG's Undead, but I think I like the wasteland druid better.

 

[Eye Tyrant]

I really like the Eye of Gruumsh! I thought it was cool even when it showed up in Dragon sometime back...

 

[Someguy]

Wind rider..i'v always liked mounted combat...and exotic mounts are just cool!

 

[Arkham]

Oozemaster is so _COOL_! I want to play a loogie!

I went with the Verdant Lord, because it's the closest thing I've seen in 3E to the old greenwood ranger kit.
