Looking for a PrC that...

[rgard]

Hi Gang, I'm looking for a PrC that grants 2 of the following:

Evasion, Mettle and the one that saves for no effect on will saves. I forget the name of the PrC and don't remember which of the 2 it grants.

Dandu or somebody mentioned it in another post here.

Thanks,
Rich

Perhaps you're talking about Pious Templar from Complete Divine? If you make a Fort or Will save that has a partial affect you ignore it.

BTW, that's only one of several classes, IIRC, that offer Mettle. Hmm, Hexblade comes to mind but it's a base class.

You can get a Ring of Evasion if you want Evasion.

A small handful of (probably non-exhaustive) lists for you, containing the class, the level at which you get the ability and the book it's on... It's worth noting that Mettle is an extraordinary ability for some and a supernatural ability for others: it won't matter most of the time, but it could come up in some corner-cases, particularly if your DM is fond of antimagic effects.

Base Classes that grant Mettle (Fort or Will partial reduced to no effect on successful save):

Hexblade 3 (Complete Warrior)
Extraordinary ability.

Crusader 13 (Tome of Battle)
Extraordinary ability.

Prestige Classes that grant Mettle:

Vigilante 9 (Complete Adventurer)
Extraordinary ability.

Pious Templar 1 (Complete Divine)
Supernatural ability.

Base Classes that grant Evasion (Reflex half reduced to no effect on a successful save if character is in no armour or light armour):

Monk 2 (PHB)
Ranger 9 (PHB)
Rogue 2 (PHB)
Ninja 12 (Complete Adventurer) *
Scout 5 (Complete Adventurer)
Swordsage 9 (Tome of Battle)

Prestige Classes that grant Evasion:

Shadowdancer 2 (PHB)
Dungeon Delver 4 (Complete Adventurer)
Halfling Outrider 7 (Complete Warrior)
Master Thrower 2 (Complete Warrior)
Extreme Explorer 2 (Eberron Campaign Setting)


Classes that grant similar or complementary abilities to Evasion:

Divine Oracle 2 (Complete Divine) **
Kensai 5 (Complete Warrior)***


Hmmm. That took longer than I thought it would! I haven't gone through everything; in particular I've missed out most campaign-specific stuff and the "Races of the X" books, so there could be more instances in those.

* A Ninja's Evasion can only be used when the character is wearing no armour

** The Divine Oracle's ability is called "Prescient Sense": it's an extraordinary ability almost identical to Evasion, but works in any armour so it's even better.

*** The Kensai's Withstand ability allows you to substitute a Concentration check in place of a Reflex save. If you have Evasion or Improved Evasion, it applies to the result of the Concentration check.

Dandu, I tried to give you xps as well, but I have to spread some around first.

Thanks.
