[QUOTE="Cheiromancer, post: 1093101, member: 141"] I think that class features should build on the pre-requisites. Thus you could include pre-requisites that don't do much on their own, but fit into stronger class features. Sometimes a class feature is better placed as a pre-requisite: For example, skill focus (spellcraft) may be required in addition to/instead of Spellcraft Mastery. Spell focus (abjuration) would be an appropriate pre-requisite for the features that involve improved dispelling. Spell focus (divination) would also be appropriate, given the information gathering powers. Or perhaps Alertness. Under spells known you may wish to add identify and arcane sight. I tend to neglect skill ranks as pre-req's when designing prestige classes, but that is a weakness of mine. Since Spot is an unusual class skill for a spellcaster PrC, maybe add 4 ranks of Spot to the pre-req's. Since you will be looking at magical items, ranks in Knowledge (Arcana) would be appropriate. ---- On the whole, I think the features of the class need to be trimmed back a bit. If spellcasting progression were a bit lower (no improvement at level 1, say), and pre-requisites were a bit more demanding, I think it would be a very nice prestige class. [/QUOTE]
