Of late, I've been playing 'Legend of Dragoon' on the PSX. Fairly nice RPG, although the story is a bit contrived. But I digress.
I've been debating the pros and cons of making the Dragoons (Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Light, Darkness, and Thunder) and attempting to convert them over to 3E for some sort of playability... the Divine Dragoon (which the main character is given possession at the end of the game, before the final boss fight), I'm leaving out for the time being. However, my difficulties lie with whether to establish it as a prestige class or as a template.
I've looked at the templates in the Monster Manual, and yet I don't quite feel confident in converting it over into template format. My prestige class attempts, by comparison... well, it's not much better. I've only written up one so far on the WoTC prestige class forum, and the input I got from it, while helpful, was so contradictory that I'm uncertain of attempting to write up another one, even though in some ways a PrC format for the Dragoons might actually be more beneficial than a template.
Thoughts? If I have to, I can try to write up a template and PrC for the Dragoons and let others judge which would be preferable.
