[QUOTE="Kweezil, post: 93487, member: 681"] Something a friend and I came up with. It was late and there was very little blood in my caffeine stream. :) Any thoughts or criticisms? [B]The Dark Overlord[/B] A PrC for evil overlords with hordes of fanatically loyal but expendible minions. Prereqs: Alignment: any evil Diplomacy 10+ Intimidate 15+ Leadership Skill Focus (Intimidate) BAB +8 Must have a permanent base of operations [FONT=courier new] BAB Fort Ref Will Special +0 +0 +0 +2 Fearsome Reputation, Tyranny +1 +0 +0 +3 Frightful Presence +2 +1 +1 +3 Rule Through Fear +3 +1 +1 +4 Dark Master +3 +1 +1 +4 Overlord [/FONT] HD: d6 Skill points 4 + Int modifier/level Skills: Bluff, Diplomacy, Gather Information, Intimidate, Knowledge, Listen, Search, Sense Motive, Spot [B]Fearsome Reputation[/B] +1/class level bonus to Intimidate checks. [B]Tyranny[/B] +1/class level to Leadership score. All Negative modifiers to Leadership score due to Cruelty etc. are cancelled. [B]Frightful Presence[/B] As Feat of the same name. [Once per round, you can, as a free action, use your frightful presence. All opponents within 30 feet who have fewer Hit Dice than you must make a Will saving throw (DC =10 plus your Hit Dice plus your Charisma modifier). An opponent who fails this save is shaken, suffering a -2 penalty to attack rolls, saves and skill checks for 1d6 plus your Charisma modifier rounds. A successful save indicates that the opponent is immune to your Frightful Presence for one day. This ability cannot affect creatures with an Intelligence of 3 or less.] [B]Rule Through Fear[/B] The Dark Overlord's mere name is a cause of fear and triggers effects identical to Frightful Presence. [B]Dark Master[/B] Gains the Leadership feat for free, effectively doubling Cohorts and Followers. [B]Overlord[/B] Followers and Cohorts within 30ft will fight without morale checks etc. and can fight even at negative hps until slain (-10 hp). [/QUOTE]
