[QUOTE="Arkhandus, post: 2307812, member: 13966"] A neat prestige class, certainly, but it's got everything the cleric has and then some, so it's definitely kinda overpowered. The cleric's already the strongest core class (except when used strictly as a healing machine that never fights back, but only foolish folk or people playing a pacifist would squander the cleric's mightiness that way). I'd be tempted to say, change their spellcasting ability to only progress at 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 7th level. Make 'em give up 3 levels of spellcasting ability if they want all the neat extra powers. Clerics and druids of this sort will still just barely gain 9th-level spells by 20th-level as a character, but only one such spell a day, so they'll be sacrificing something at least. Otherwise, this prestige class'd make clerics and druids even more superior to all other classes. In any case, regardless, you need to revise Captivating Weave and Rainbow Burst. As they're written now, they're useable at will, and that's definitely too powerful. Captivating Weave should be useable once per day, plus once per day per point of positive Charisma modifier, maybe, at best. Rainbow Burst should only be useable once per day, possibly twice per day; it's the best stunning and blinding ability I've ever seen, and the DC to save against it is rather high. You don't need to lengthen the class to 10 levels, prestige classes don't need to be standardized to 10 levels, that's just a stupid idea. Plenty of great prestige class concepts don't need 10 levels to be done. Some need only 3 or 5 levels, some can encompass 13 or more, they don't need to follow some stupid, pointless 10-level standard. [/QUOTE]
