[QUOTE="Piratecat, post: 131407, member: 2"] A friend sent me this prestige class, which one of his players developed. I suck at telling whether or not a PrC is well balanced. Could you guys please give me your opinions on this one? It's unusual... primarily defensive abilities, but some suspect ones. I'll appreciate your opinions as you hunt for problems. Thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [b]Philosopher King[/b] "Noble, gracious, the friend of truth, justice, courage, temperance . . . to men like him, when perfected by years and education, and to these only you will entrust the State." Wise, benevolent, and learned, the Philosopher King brings studied thought and philosophical discipline to his role as a ruler and leader. The Philosopher King need not be a sovereign ruler in his own right, but must be the legal ruler and lord of inhabited lands. These lands may be inherited, granted by a greater ruler, granted through an elective process, established in the wilderness, or wrested from an evil or chaotic lord. Hit Die: d6.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Philosopher Kings gain no proficiency in any weapon or armor. Spells per Day: Beginning at 1st level, a Philosopher King gains the ability to cast a small number of spells.

Each level of Philosopher king adds an additional point to the Philosopher King's leadership score, on top of the points gained for character level. For example, a character who is 5th level cleric and 3rd level Philosopher King with no charisma bonus or other leadership modifiers would have a leadership score of 11 (8 for character level plus 3 for each level of Philosopher King), while if he had advanced solely as a cleric would have as an 8th level cleric a leadership score of 8. Perspicacity (Ex): At 1st level, a Philosopher King may gain additional insight into the character of any creature (or thing) with whom he converses.

Solomon's Wisdom (Ex): A wise leader can judge the words of others. Beginning at 7th level, a Philosopher King may discern lies spoken by any creature (or thing) with whom he converses. If he is able to converse with a target for at least one round, he may discern lies spoken by the target. Both the Philosopher King and the target must be able to speak, hear, and understand one another, and the target must be engaged in conversation with the Philosopher King (i.e. the Philosopher King may not discern lies in a target delivering a speech or conversing with others).

His subjects are so inspired by the eminence and renown of his rule that they gain the Philosopher King's charisma bonus as a morale bonus on all trained skill checks, so long as they are not acting against the good of the state. Spell List Philosopher Kings choose their spells from the following list: 1st Level: Command, Calm Emotions, Comprehend Languages, Charm Person, Remove Fear 2nd Level: Detect Thoughts, Emotion, Suggestion, Tongues, Remove Paralysis 3rd Level: Charm Monster, Detect Scrying, Remove Curse, Status 4th Level: Break Enchantment, Mark of Justice, True Seeing Ex-Philosopher Kings A Philosopher King who ceases to be lawful good or who willfully violates the confidence entrusted to him by his populace loses all special abilities and spells gained as a Philosopher King, and may never again progress in levels as a Philosopher King.
