Anyone Know a Source for a Sea Wizard PrC?

The Aeromancer from Dragon #308 is a caster focused on weather magic. The Windsinger in Dragon #294 is a bard focused on weather magic. The Windwright Captain in the Eberron Explorer's Handbook is an airship or elemental galleon captain for which a bard could easily qualify. The Sea Witch from Stormwrack is a nautically-oriented arcane caster, while the Wavekeeper from the same book is a sea-focused druid. Green Ronin's Skull & Bones has the Mystic Navigator. DragonLance Towers of High Sorcery has the Sea Mage. I actually found nothing of interest in a quick perusal of the Legend & Lore books from Fantasy Flight Games.

Not wizards, but you may also want to check out the Corsair in Dragon #321, the Deep Thrall (kraken cultist) in Dragon #300, the Dread Pirate in Complete Adventurer, the Legendary Captain in Stormwrack, the Thunder Guide in the Eberron Explorer's Handbook, and the Shark Cultist in Dragon #315.

Nice list there, man. With a name like "Dread Pirate Murphy", however, I'd expect that quality of a response.
 


Masterwork Characters: Out of the Deep (which I wrote) has both the Coral Sage (a spellcaster PrC based on the common link in mythology between ocean gods and divinatory powers) and the Witch Pirate (though that's aimed more at rogues and bards as it has its own 4-level spell progression). There's other fun stuff for nautical characters in there too.

OK, I'll stop pimping now :)
 


I like Seafarer's Handbook a lot. It contains no Prestige Classes though, a mark that raised it's rating in my eyes as a DM.

The AE sea witch is a very good core class variant. You can use it as is, or even allow it to function as a Prestige Class if you let the spellcaster levels stack with whatever base class the NPC starts with. Sea witches can breathe water once a day, manifest a water sword, spray forth acid, or call forth mists (depending on what they take for witchery abilities), and even can get access to a spell template that boosts their spells when on water. They're nasty too - I almost TPKed a group with one but for a slew of Hero Points.
