MotW: Forsaker

[CRGreathouse]

Are supernatural abilities OK?

 

[Paladin]

Can you imagine a vampire, troll, or dragon with this prestige class?!

I'm not sure.

"He must sell or give away all his magic items, and renounce the use of any spellcasting and spell like abilities he previously used."

It doesn't mention supernatural abilities specifically.

Vampires and dragons have a lot of special abiliteis that I think they would haev to give up to be this class.

But a Troll Forsaker could really mean business.

Hmmm. A human fighter could qualify at level one....

No, none of the prerequisite feats are on the Fighter Bonus Feat list.

Earliest you could qualify is level 3. (Human character takes two of the feats at level one, then the 3rd at level 3, and nearly killed by magic.) Level 4 would be the first level of the Forsaker.

The Forsaker still qualifies as the Prestige Class that can be taken at the lowest level. Every other one you can't qualify for until level 5, and level 6 is the earliest you can take your first level.

I stand corrected, oh great one!

I would say that if something is neutralized by an antimagic shell, the forsaker can't use it.

So, no supernatural or psionic ability IMO.

That'd include psionics, since they're officially spell-like abilities. I wouldn't have allowed it anyway, I was merely playing Devil's advocate.

I second this view. I like keeping things very consistent and this follows that rule.
