So you're talking about changing initiative relative to other party members? The opponents should be roughly balanced, so they'd get the same sort of initiative bonuses and it would cancel out. I'm not really thrilled about mods. to init. due to combat experience. But I do think certain classes...

I played around with something along those lines, but it was called a Vivimancer. In some respects the class was as repulsive as the Necromancer because they liked to experiment with life forms, making modifications, adding parts, and so forth. You could, for example, conceive of chimerical life...

Nasty. But the instant death after three rounds of holding a bite seems excessively powerful. Also the bite damage is automatically maximum so why have a random roll? BTW, how'd you end up with +11 Grapple? :)

For a while now I've been pondering a unique branch of arcane magic that is oriented around odor and taste. This would be used, for example, by gnomes and races that have the scent special ability. So I think this would be something like an alchemical ability, producing magical effects by mixing...

Thanks Sravoff. Do you mean have some levels with no special perks for balance purposes? Or do you just like 10? :)

Bump. Thoughts?

I think this class is roughly comparable to the Dwarven Defender, with a lower hit dice and slightly better skills. (It is more group-defense oriented than the DD.) Do you see any balance issues? Thank you. :-) Seneschal of Silvera The most dedicated followers of Silvera can choose to enter a...

Half-ass, half-human. Sorry, it was a terrible, evil pun...

So... by any chance is there a half-assed PrC for a Centaur? Sorry, I couldn't resist. :)

Thanks for your feedback everybody. I'll go back and see if I can balance it out a little better.

Hi. Do you think that the following prestige class is properly balanced? Are there any issues that need addressing? Thank you. :) Purifier The elite holy warriors of Thoshanir have dedicated their life and spirit to cleansing the lands of all that is most vile, putrid, and loathsome. The...

How about an evolved chameleon? I.e. squirrel is to human as the chameleon is to the evolved alien. You could give it gecko-like padded feet and hands; an ability to alter its coloration, and perhaps a sticky web-like spit for capturing prey and pinning them to tree branches. Plus the...

Thanks for the suggestions, especially the moonsight and silverbow ideas. I'll have to loosen up that alignment requirement to include NG and CN. So you believe that somebody would "dip" into this PrC just to get the, what, save bonuses? Maybe I should just have good Will saves then. I'll...

The Hybrid form's are potentially pretty powerful special abilities, which is why I nixed the spellcasting at those levels. The bow is the sacred weapon of this deity. She's a god of hunting and carries a bow, &c. I could cut back the BaBs. Regarding the "casting spells as a cleric" thing: this...

Hi. Do you think that the following prestige class is properly balanced? Any improvements? Thank you. :) Moon Mystic A chosen few female worshippers of Beshada are selected for special indoctrination into the secrets of the moon mystic. How the moon mystics are chosen is a closely held secret...

Interesting idea. To me the saves look to be too low. E.g. Wis 14 should give at least Will +2. Should bite be +5 melee? It needs a separate venom entry in case it is used with the bite attack. :)

Hmm, perhaps a DC 20 Will check to damage hands enough to try. But personally I'd roll as an Escape Artist check; that's why it's there. How else are you going to encourage players to put points in EA? :)

It's probably a (keyboard) character conversion issue. It was supposed to just be -1. That's an interesting idea. I'll give it some thought. This class is generally non-combat oriented, and most likely more useful as an NPC concept. I could probably keep improving the subdual combat abilities...

I remember a note from the WotC folks concerning the number of levels in Prestige class. Apparently they were concerned about everybody adopting 10 levels as a standard number for a prestige class. They pointed out that the number of levels were not set in stone. In this case I just let the...

This is another prestige class from a custom pantheon, and I'd like to find out whether you think this class is balanced and playable. The class is combat-weak, but has good skills and spell advancement. Thanks! :) Hooded Healer These itinerant priests of La'ahl are blessed with supernatural...
