[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 2829215, member: 710"] My last 2 wizards were Loremasters. Two other players in my group also played a Loremaster. I think it is one of the best Wizard Prestige Classes ever made. That doesn't mean that it's overpowered. It just fits the wizard archetype perfectly, and all the abilities it grants are useful, but they are never overshadowing - free Identifies, Legend Lores aren't gamebreakers, and all special abilities are easy to adjucate. If I hadn't already made 2 Loremasters, my next wizard (whenever this will be) would certainly become one, too. There are certainly other prestige classes out there that might be better than the Loremaster, but all PrC I have seen so far never compelled me to play it. Either they cost to much, or I didn't care for the background, or I didn't care for the special abilities (regardless if powerful or not). But the Loremaster convinced me instantly. If you're a diviner, there is no reason to not play a Loremaster. You have to learn the Divination spells anyway(otherwise, what are you going to do with your free slot), and you might need a feat and a few ranks to give up for it, but I think it is better (mechanical and flavourwise) than staying a wizard. If there is anything I have to complain about the Loremaster, is that it must be to good, since, as I said already, I'd take it for all my wizards. :) (That complaint might be valid, since it is essential a wizard+, except that the + doesn't really steal someone elses thunders or helps you killing monsters and take their stuff) [/QUOTE]
