[QUOTE="bret, post: 814577, member: 713"] OK, having thought about it overnight, I would playtest with two different characters. FRCS: Gnome Illusionist/Cleric with Gnome and Illusion domains. Gets +2 caster level to illusions from the domains, which puts them at only a single level penalty for dispelling and SR. PHB: Human Wizard/Cleric with Luck and Travel domains. I would go for at least a 15 in each of Wisdom and Int. Dump stat is Charisma since the character will not be able to turn undead anyways. I would figure it so that I could be assured of having a 19 Int by 20th level (when I could finally cast 9th level spells). In a low point buy game, this class is much less approachable. At about 30-32 points, you can do a respectable job. It is difficult to say just how this PrC would stack up, need to experiment with a few different strategies to determine what really works best. I know that Spell Penetration, Extend Spell, Persistent Spell, and Silent Spell would be high on my list of feats. As the Gnome, I would definately take Spell Focus: Illusion since that is my main offense. I think the hardest levels to get through would be 5-7. After that, I think the PrC would start really kicking in. Until we see all of the revised edition rules, there really is no way to know if it is balanced. One disadvantage that people haven't really gone into is the skill list. It is worse than either of the two base classes. [/QUOTE]
