Ah, I misinterpreted. My apologies. Out of the other core classes... I couldn't really say. Probably fighter, although ranger might not be too bad either, especially if you choose the archery tree on the weapon style choices... that'll only help your eldritch blast to hit more accurately...

As far as the first two questions, Ankh-Morpork Guard hits it on the nose. As for question 3... right now, given the inconsistencies of Customer Service at WoTC, the warlock evidently doesn't qualify for many of the prestige classes touted as able to be taken by the warlock. Out of them all, I...

Erran frowns to himself as he moves around to investigate. Something in the water makes an eyebrow rise slightly, and he peers to see what it is... bubbles. Three small strings of bubbles, for that matter. "There's something over there," he says, pointing out to the bubbles. The shuffling...

(( Rolled: 20 )) Erran steps through the portal with the rest of the team, arriving at the swamp almost instantaneously. He immediately begins to look around, and points out the bodies. "That isn't a good sign," he intones quietly, the first words he's spoken thus far. "Perhaps we should...

Erran nods quietly to Paymaster Hawk as the briefing ends. o O (Search and destroy... this should be interesting.) O o The elan moves, following the others out and waiting for the Portal Arch to activate, and send them to their destination. Mentally preparing himself, he take position behind...

Erran, curiously, doesn't begin his day with the morning meal. Rather, it begins with some meditation and his morning kata. When one (unlike many of his compatriots) only need four hours in a meditative trance to gain the refreshment that most other humanoids need in eight, it gives one an...

I'm with Isida on this one. Let's go ahead and get started, and he can jump in whenever he gets the chance to get back on.

Erran Steelfist As you have probably no doubt have guessed, I'm filling in at Doc's invitation. As such, I submit my character for your perusal. Erran Steelfist Male elan psychic warrior 1/monk 4: Medium-size aberration; HD 1d8+2 + 4d8+4; hp 32; power points 3; Init +2; Spd 40 ft.; AC 24...

I've heard that Necromancy: Beyond the Grave was a good book. Another good one is Hollowfaust: City of Necromancers, which gives a good case for Necromancy not always being the evil arcane school that everyone pegs it to be. The Secret College of Necromancy was okay, but I think it left some...

Sword & Sorcery's 3E Ravenloft campaign setting deals somewhat with aging vampires and greater powers. IIRC, in Ravenloft vampires have the ability to rebuke/command undead, but it's something that a vampire gets as they age. Btw, Clay_More, I just downloaded and printed out a copy of your...

Aha! I have seen the light now. Sure took me long enough. Thanks, gang. :)

So I'm actually looking at a third option as the correct answer: DC base 10 + (1/2 x character class levels) + the foe's Wis modifier + additional alignment modifiers So, using my 10th-level human fighter and 15th-level vampire wizard with the 15 Wis example... DC = 10 + (1/2 x 10) + 2 + 10 =...

I'm actually halfway tempted to rule that alignment changes should only matter for undead if the master is still alive and just not worry about computing DCs for a forced alignment change. If the master is dead, then (depending on the method of creation) have the character take the Emancipated...

Okay... while perusing my copy of SS, I stumble across the Alignment Change section, which in my mind is far too small and could have used an example or three to clarify what WoTC meant. So... I'll lay out the groundwork, and you all can tell me whether I've got it straight or not (I probably...

Any other comments? I'm beginning to work on the prestige class, and make it somewhat similar to the Dragon Disciple from Tome & Blood, so it should be up in the next day or two.

Take a look at ThirdEdition.Com. They had at least v. 1.0 of a points-based Prestige Class creation article, and I know that v. 2.0 has been released with an extension that allows you to use a similar points-cased system for creating new core classes as well. Might be worth your while to check...

While at work tonight, I thought about some way of making a race similar to the Transformers, since to a degree that's sorta what I'm striving for. Feel free to tell me if I'm way off base with this, in case you have better suggestions. My thoughts were to make some use of the lycanthrope...

A combination of those two options are what would be the basis for the race I'm wanting to create, when it comes right down to it, with no real ability score adjustments. This, by the way, originally came from a post I got on this same subject from the WOTC forum boards, thought I'd share it...

Creature Catalog has a few templates with prerequisites, the Death Knight template (which is a rather nice one, btw) among them, so I'm not quite the first to do it this way. The Guyver template will actually go hand-in-hand with a prestige class, a la the Dragon Disciple from Tome & Blood. It...
