[QUOTE="Jeph, post: 1124842, member: 6738"] It's more of a "you are reincarnated as an angel" than "you gain the powers of an angel, as well as the ones you already have." Or it is according to the popular church, anyway: some would argue that the memories of noble souls simply pass onto an existing Virtue when the mortal dies, or each Virtue is a conglommerate of a number of pious personalities--really, most things involving religion are pretty much a "we think it's like this, but we're not sure" deal. Allows me to improvise and throw plot twists. :) As for prestige classes...not at the moment. However, there are a number of niches that need filling in the world, most notably some sort of summoner/gater/binder class. Is there already something of the sort? If not, I may be forced to make one. ;) Perhaps a bit on the cosmology is in order...think of it as two great disks set at right angles to each other, with a smaller sphere in the center of it all. That sphere is the Material plane, and the only plane with an Aetherial counterpart. One disk is Gaius, which is an amalgam of the four Elemental Plains. The other disk is known as Hyperion, and corresponds to the four Alignments as Gaius does to the Elements. Surrounding everything is the Astral, and a tendril of the Shadow binding it all together. Floating within the Astral are numerous demiplanes, which combine some of the facets of two or more of the other plains. Thus, you may have a Shadow-tainted, Chaotic Fire and Air demiplane, a region of only partially real birds of flame flying eternally through a scorching void, or a Good Water demiplane, in which permanent Gates are placed to create eternal fonts of holy water at sacred sites. Or something like that. :D Thanks, --Jeff [/QUOTE]
