I Lost a Prestige Class :(

[Qualidar]

So I seem to recall coming across a prestige class that had the feel of a Cuthulu-style magician; danger of madness, spells tend to have creepy special effects, etc. I thought for sure it was in Book of Vile Darkness, but I finally got my hands on my copy and....nothing.

Can someone point a fellow gamer in the right direction?

Thanks in Advance,
~Qualidar~

You're not thinking of Alienist in Tome & Blood, are you? Or the magic system in Bad Axe Games' Grim Tales?

I think you are thinking about the Alienist from Tome & Blood. A fun little prestige class. I hope it gets some love in the Complete Arcane, although there is little reason to re-print it because the T&B version is very 3.5 friendly, IIRC.

My first thought was for the Alienist as well.

Though if that is not it, maybe you could add a little more description on what you are looking for?

[Charlie Brown] That's it! [/Charlie Brown]

I've never actually read Tome & Blood, but now that you mention it I think that's exactly what I'm looking for. My exposure to it was through your story hour, Piratecat.

Well, there's another book for the To Buy list...

Thanks, All.

If you are running a 3.5 game, you might hold off on Tome & Blood until after Complete Arcane is released. There might be a 3.5 version of the Alienist in there.

If you are running 3.0, you might look for used copies of Tome & Blood.

Good point. I am running 3.5. I'll just have to wait all the way 'til November.
