although i dont think opening up the PrC to other classes is a bad idea, I'd be wary of making them combat trained (ie a decent BAB progression) and giving them a spellcasting progression as well as some of the special abilities in a 7 level PrC, unless you are going to give it some hideous...

i used Knowledge (religion) as its the skill that relates to undead. - ive never really understood the correlation between them though.

Out of all the encounters ive run in the campaign, the most frustrating was a streetfight with 2 bugbears vs my lvl2 PCs, the whole thing took around an hour and a quarter. A larger scale battlemat and using the index cards to keep track of initiative might speed things up a bit, but a simple...

that's partly it - combined with the fact that their low level and don't do a lot of damage.

surely this would slow it down more? - it means that the opponents take longer to kill than ever. in answer to Paltryn's Q. not usually - my players arent big on rules really, and the only conversation is usually when someone rolls a Crit.threat - along the lines of 'come on be a Hit!'

i'm afraid i've got a tad carried away and have started working on my own version of this PrC, based on what youve posted here - it was to cool an idea to pass up, sorry. Its a work in progress, but see what you think so far:

spartans didnt use tower shields, they used large bronze ones - closest in dnd would be a heavy wooden shield. the spartan shield could not possibly be used as total cover. what makes you think that spartans were dumb?

I wouldnt mind so much if it was just huge combats, - im talking ALL combats

the campaign is still young so theyre all lvl2 Arto d'Cannith - Human Artificer2 - hangs at the back and takes potshots at opponents with a sling and magic stones. equipt with eternal wand of cure light wounds -acts as party healer. 259Y - Warforged Art1/Ftr1 - took adamantine body feat and...

In my campaign it seems to take forever to get through a combat, no matter how many combatants there are. what is supposed to be a short, vicious battle is drawn out into an eternity, and it slows the whole story down to a crawl, or sometime grinds to a halt. Im sure others have had this...

in time your nation will fall, it is inevitable, Only nature is eternal. turn your back on dreams of conquest, seek out the great Druid and gain understanding.

that was broadly my point - if they're gonna feel guilty anyway...

In the Mythology of ancient Greece, satyrs were the avatars of Bacchus (and to Pan to an extent). They were symbolic of lust [most of the classical imagery is emphatic about this]. in a lot of the myths when they werent chasing women they were drunk - leading them in to a kind of Bacchic frenzy...

I like all of them, although in all fairness ive yet to experience a Shifter in play, and the warforged seems to have immunity to almost everything. (save us from warforged paladins with heavy fortification :( ) what do people make of the Daelkyr Halfblood? the one ive got in my game is truly...

its a neat method, but part of the objective is to make my PCs edgy, if they know whodunnit before they start, it prevents them from getting paranoid and suspecting each other (something my PCs are more than capable of. - theyre even capable of Framing one another). its hard to build up...

like a Hawk (an aundair dragonhawk to be exact...)

fortunately my 4 of my PCs are CN and 2 of those are craven cowards, the fifth is LE, so he might kill the witnesses, but only if he thinks he can get away with it, and only when theyve answered questions- hes a warforged with a thirst for knowledge (any Knowledge) - so hes more likely to...

well here are some more suggestions for spell effects on this one: Last breath [drd4] or Revenance [clr/pal4] both from Complete Divine or spiritwall [sor/wiz5] from Comlpete Arcane, an equivalent of the nightmare shroud ability of the Quori nightmare PrC from Races of Eberron or possibly a...

if you want to make it only a 7 level PrC, its gonna be difficult to balance. You will have to make some serious sacrifices, to take it - so a seriously restrictive set of requirements, and no spellcasting improvement while taking the class probably. at what level do you want it to be...

ah.
