[QUOTE="myradale, post: 1802499, member: 25010"] I made it up of bits scavanged from OTHER prestige classes such as the kensai (CW) and the Five Animals Fist Fighter (QM) I just wanted to get some opinions on it before I present it to my DM. Disciple of Io D&D 3.5 Prestige Class Much as a Five Animals Fist Fighter looks to the natural world to enhance his martial technique, a Disciple of Io looks to the mighty dragons to improve his art. A Disciple of Io looks upon both chromatic and metallic dragons with reverence and awe, seeking to improve himself and eventually become as potent as a dragon himself. The only currently known teachings of the Disciples of Io are located at the “Grace of Io”, a mountain temple in the northern spine mountains of Faerun. There, an ancient sect of monks teaches the ways of dragon kind, secretly led by an ancient silver dragon in human form. Disciples of Io are easily identified by their rank belts; chromatic ranks are signified by a different color of silk belt and the metallic ranks by a different buckle (In a stylized dragon motif). Disciples can progress through the ranks unattended, but to obtain their belts, must travel back to the monastery to demonstrate their progress.
