Message: <blockquote data-quote="Pielorinho" data-source="post: 627985" data-attributes="member: 259">Hi, folks!  I'm looking to build a prestige class, and I figured this was the place to come for ideas.Background:  Currently, I'm playing a druid who focuses on summoning and befriending animals.  However, my DM has pointed out that my turn in combat takes more time than everyone else's turn combined, given the menagerie of creatures I have to deal with.  So I'm looking to move the character in a different direction, and I'm thinking a PrC might be a fun way to do that.I'd basically like a PrC based around a supernatural understanding of and control over stone.  I'd like the class to be a +1 spell level at each level class, with special abilities balanced for druids.  Right now, I have only vague ideas and not much sense of proper balance.  If y'all can help me get this into a coherent form (or point me toward an appropriate existing PrC), I'd be much obliged.Teeth of the DragonIn ages beyond memory, when the stars themselves were young, the grandmother dragon Taumin gave birth to the gods, and they played naked over her flesh.  Her youngest son, Moradin, coveted her beauty:  the shine of her scales, the glow of her eyes, the coruscating beauty of her blood.  He demanded of his mother that she give him raiment to match hers.  And when she refused, he led a rebellion of the children.  They killed the grandmother dragon Taumin, and her body is the world.  From her hair are made the trees; from her breasts are made the mountains; from her spit flows the rivers and oceans; from her breath is the wind of the world.  And Moradin and his own children burrow through her body, stealing the blood from her veins, glistening blood of rubies and gold and silver and all the metals and gems of earth.But Grandmother is not dead, for she created the world and is the world and cannot die.  She cries out as her children use her, maim her, and few can hear.The Teeth of the Dragon can hear.  They learn her secrets; they move through her without harming her.  They protect her.The Teeth of the Dragon is a cult dedicated to an almost-forgotten goddess, the Grandmother Dragon Taumin.  They believe that the well-known Gods are her children and are responsible for her near-destruction.  They believe that by ending the worst offenses on her body (including the incessant mining of the dwarves), they can protect the Grandmother, restore her, and return the world to a utopian state.The vast majority of Teeth of the Dragon are druids, although some clerics of other earth-related Gods are inducted into the cult.  Due to the spellcasting requirements, the PrC is very difficult for members of other classes to enter.Prerequisites:Skills:  Knowledge (stone) or Profession (stoneworking) or Craft (stonemason):  6 ranks Other skills?Must be able to cast Spike Stones.Possible PrC benefits, in no particular order:-Ability to command or rebuke earth creatures as a cleric with the earth domain.  Should this stack all divine class levels, or only PrC levels?  The former seems really powerful; the latter seems pretty useless.-Ability to add the earth template, from Manual of the Planes, to summoned creatures.  Like the alienist class's ability to add the pseudonatural template, this would replace any existing templates on the creature.-Ability to burrow like a xorn, probably a limited number of times (or a limited distance) per day.  Possibly model after a shadowdancer's shadowjump ability?-Natural armor bonus, as skin becomes stonelike.- Bonus on DCs of stone-related spells (e.g., spike stones, etc.)Again, if anyone is able to help me organize these into a reasonable PrC, that'd be fantastic.  I have no experience at doing this, and am not really sure where to start.Thanks!Daniel</blockquote>
