Yennico, Thanks for taking the time to review the PrC -- I'm looking forward to seeing your comments. ------------------- If anyone wonders what I had in mind when I was creating the Tears of the Shadow Mistress (TofSM), you have to see the picture entitled "Mydnyght" by Dragonsart.com-- its...

[Fair enough. Here's the text of the PrC and a JPEG of the tables and TotSM Symbol - Minaret] Tears of the Shadow Mistress By: Craig A. Singsank Sitrini kept her head down and her eyes sternly closed lest a tear escape its confines. Her smoky black locks flowed across her face like a velvet...

Good evening everyone. I'd like to thank everyone that reviewed my first drafts of the PrC a few months ago. I've updated the PrC and uploaded it in this thread as a Zipped PDF file. I know standard text is the preferred way to post to the boards, but the file (165k) is much easier to read as...

I'm overwhelmed. You've put a great deal of thought and time into this post. THANK YOU! I'm glad the concept is working for everyone. It's much easier to tweak the mechanics vs overhaul the concept. No, I haven't read the book. In truth the idea for the swans came first. I work as a...

1) The one feature I really want to keep with this power is the fact that if the Tear makes her DC, she survives regardless of the damage dealt. With that said, it is unlikely the Tear will be able to overcome massive amounts of damage since the DC would exceed her ability to meet it. Secondly...

1) Adding at bit more explanation and flavor text isn't a bad idea. It would help clarify what motivates these women to take-up the lifelong role of a Tear (I specifically didn't save "burden" because to them the role isn't a heavy yoke that weighs them down -- it's a calling that gives them a...

CORRECT ON ALL POINTS. The Tears aren't really part of a guild or organization. It is what they've become because of what they've experienced and how they reacted to those experiences. There is no external code or creed to follow or breach. However, if the Tear's actions ever change her to...

1) Since the class takes on a guardian role, albeit a very selective one, I didn't think CE characters would be that altruist. On the other hand, a CG character may have too many moral constraints to do whatever it takes to save a "swan" or dispatch a "jackal." 2) I started with "concealment"...

Re: RE:Shadow Mistress First, thanks for the feedback. I bumped up the Will Save to match the Attack bonus. That way it is just a little lower than the Reflex Save. Second, the symbol and related paragraph are meant more as flavor text. The tattoo/brand is a form "stigmata" that symbolizes...

Nothing specific at the moment, but I have been playing with the idea of expanding the concept and wanted to kept my options open with regard to the character names and storyline. I've also started working on another PrC with a working title of "The Weathered." Imagine if Snake Pliskin from...

I realize it is difficult to use this PrC the way it is formatted. If anyone would like a PDF of the PrC that is much more user friendly, please e-mail me at <alcordraco@yahoo.com> and I'll send you a copy. My only request is that you send me any feedback on how it works for you and/or your...

Clay_More, thanks for the well thought-out review. You pretty much nailed-it in terms of describing the tone I was trying to convey with the PrC. I'm glad the imagery came thorugh. I was also thinking the "Ray of E." was a bit of a generic filler effect. After looking through the DMG, I think...

[Thanks for taking a look. All types of feedback are welcome -- the more specific the better. What would you change? What would you keep the same? Overall opinions and assessments are also helpful. - Minaret] TEARS OF THE SHADOW MISTRESS: Sitrini kept her head down and her eyes sternly...
