[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 6554804, member: 5100"] I've been thinking about Heir of Syberis and trying not to reintroduce prestige classes into 5E (they wore thin early in 3E, for me). My current thought to make it a "subclass" of either Warlock or Sorcerer, due to the way I implemented the marks, themselves. I drew on the multiclassing rules for the spell-like abilities of the marks, such that a marked character is always considered to have their "spell" prepared. A non-caster gets a single use between long rests. If a character ignores the mark, it grows a little (advances like the official version). If they want to focus on really being Dragonmarked, they can multiclass or (if they start early) do something like arcane trickster/eldritch knight. A Warlock would better fit the "I do one kind of magic well" mold, but I'm afraid you'd need to create both a new patron (The Prophecy) and pact (Pact of the Mark) to get it right. A Sorcerer would be feel a lot less devoted (or, maybe, just brimming with the power of Syberis) but would only need a new bloodline, probably broken down like the draconic blood is. [/QUOTE]
