[QUOTE="Kerrick, post: 4826056, member: 4722"] I'm a little burned out, since I finished and posted 4 (!) PrCs earlier today, but I'll post some rough ideas. Maleficus Lamnia is still a working name; I tossed it in as a placeholder for the time being. I changed the focus a [I]little [/I] bit - instead of it being strictly mage/assassin, I opened it up to clerics as well; thus, we can have clerics of the god of murder taking levels in this as well, though necromantic spells are still more the purview of the mages, for some reason. The Maleficus Lamniae (Dark Blades) are a sect of necromancers who have turned their skills to the assassin's arts. They use negative energy to steal abilities and even life energy from their victims before they kill them, leaving them as drained, lifeless husks. HD: d6 L1: ??? L2: ??? L3: Necromantic death attack (you can use a necromantic touch/ranged touch spell like enervation as a death attack; it all uses one DC (the death attack DC), and a successful save avoids both effects. L4: ??? L5: ??? L6: Vampiric death attack (you inflict negative levels with a death attack, gaining the energy as healing) L7: ??? L8: L9: ??? death attack (another DA ability) L10: ??? At this point, I've tentatively got Steal skills (use the victim's base skill ranks in place of your own), physical and mental attributes, spells/SLAs, and Ex and Su abilities. They'd be every other level, probably the even ones; since we have DA abilities at 3/6/9, all we'd need is something at 2/5/8. Oh, and of course it gets spellcasting at every other level. [/QUOTE]
