[QUOTE="Drowbane, post: 4463457, member: 23396"] Sneak Attack: nice spread of d6s gained. Spellcasting: -3 levels is painful, but as long as the abilities are worth it... the PrC will be used. Veil of Viccor - Very thematic and cool. Invisibility is rather weak (beaten by a 2nd lvl spell or a very popular Least Invocation), while incorporality is rather powerful. Have you considered Hide in Plain Sight? Assassins's Spell - At first I thought this would let them use Assassin spells. Very cool and flavorful ability. Nothing says lovin like "necrotic-stabbity-death". Arcane Boon - Two things here: I believe there is a set of spells in Complete Adventurer that let you do this (with a limited set of skills) for +10 bonus... as Swift. I suppose +5 is good enough since you can apply this to any of your Class skills. Also, in standard D&D, Clerics make better necromancers than Wizards... is this not true in Balmortis? Glyph Strike - Very frickin cool... these strikes would be my reason to take the PrC. I understand why Poison Strike has no save (when 1 to 6 hits kills you), but Disease Strike does (except for perhaps, that Marsh Vipers didn't have any sort of save mechanic :D). As I understand it... a high lvl Lifebane could nail someone with several Poison strikes (its just part of a sneak attack, right?) in a single round. At if 10th lvl in the PrC could unleash... 12 in a single round (assuming BAB high enough for 3 attacks and full progression in twf...). Stride of the Shapeless & Veiled Strike - I could make good use of these abilities, very cool ~~~ This would make for a powerful Cleric / Ninja PrC. [/QUOTE]
