[QUOTE="Nifft, post: 2172803, member: 6562"] I'm thinking of making a PrC for monsters (devils, yugoloths, hags, chokers, phase spiders, yuan-ti, nagas, etc.) who are the chosen assassins of their respective dark powers. The DMG Assassin is really lame for that use. Ghost Faced Killer is somewhat better, but not great for Phase Spiders and other critters who already have access to the Ether. For these critters, the PrC I'd really like would have these features: 1/ Full BAB. Natural Attacks provide a limit on their claw/claw/bite routine, so I'm not worried about displacing Fighter as a class. 2/ No weapon proficencies. Who cares? 3/ Qualify as a 5-6 HD monster. 4/ Better Sneak Attack progression than a Rogue. 5/ Some kind of poison bonus for critters with natural poison; and some kind of poison access for critters without. 6/ Racial Substitution levels for races with affinity for certain kinds of magic -- e.g. for a Salamander Assassin: Immolating Blow (Su): When you kill a foe with a Coup de Grace or via a failed Death by Massive Damage save, you additionally immolate your foe's body, leaving only a fine grey ash behind (as [i]disintegrate[/i] would). Foes immune or resistant to fire do not immolate. Anyway... just my feature request list. I'm not sure it's practical to do all that in one PrC, but I hope someone will try. :) Cheers, -- N [/QUOTE]
