Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cheiromancer" data-source="post: 370505" data-attributes="member: 141">I agree that a deadmaster would likely become a lich.  I think one of the virtues of the class is that it complements and does not overlap a lich's special abilities.  A few of the 10th level special abilities don't work too well- larval blood in a lich is kind of redundant, as is ghoul touch.I concur with Elder Basilisk (he's a clever guy- listen to him!) about the creation of vampires and ghosts.  I would drop them both, and spread create wraith and create mummy over two levels.I could see the Countenance of Corruption as affecting a single individual who is close by- perhaps 5 ft. away.  The other options that Elder Basilisk mention would work, too.  (Did I mention that he's a clever guy?)I would also try to find a way to arrange special abilities so the deadmaster gives up only two caster levels, not three.  Maybe switch levels 5 and 6, and give the deadmaster a +1 to caster level at level 9.  This would ruin the smooth Embrace of the Grave/Vigil of the Damned progression, but perhaps you could combine these abilities as one 6th level ability.A very flavorful, very fun prestige class.  Good job!</blockquote>
