[QUOTE="kenjib, post: 75645, member: 530"] I imagine someone like this might exist with one foot in the land of the living and one foot in the spirit realm, so to speak. What effect would this have on a person? Some ideas of the top of my head: 1. Speak with dead - as mentioned before. 2. See ethereal creatures. 3. Inherent ghosttouch ability. 4. Turn/rebuke undead as a cleric of 2 levels lower than your level in this PRC. These levels stack with cleric/paladin/etc. levels. 5. Perhaps at high level they can gain supernatural powers that emulate Shadow Walk, Ethereal Jaunt, Etherealness, or some other similar spells to represent their deepening connection to the spirit world. 6. To represent the guidance and aid of ancestors maybe something like the following - Ancestral Guidance (Su): You may invoke the spirits of your ancestors to guide your actions. You may do this once per day at 1st level and one extra time per day for every 3 additional levels you have in this prestige class (i.e. 1 at 1st, 2 at 4th, 3 at 7th, and 4 at 10th). You can choose one of the following benefits when invoking this power: a) You may spend a full minute communicating with your ancestors to attempt to find the answer to a single question. As a result you may make any one knowledge check as if you had maximum ranks for your character level in the applicable skill b) As a move equivalent action you may call upon the spirit of a warrior in your past. The next single attack you make may be made as if you had the BaB of a fighter of your character level. c) Calling on ancestral spirits to protect you from harm, you may make a single saving throw as if you had the base saving throw progression of a monk of your character level. You must decide to invoke this power before rolling the die. d) As a standard action you may call upon the spirit of an experienced ancestor to guide your actions. When you do this you must choose a skill from the following: Balance, Climb, Escape Artist, Hide, Jump, Listen, Move Silently, Ride, Spot, Swim, Tumble. The next single skill check you make with this skill within the next minute can be made as if you had maximum ranks in the skill for your character level. I think that would be a pretty sound basis for an interesting prestige class, but there will be a bit of a balancing job to balance out the rather powerful ancestral guidance idea. The list of applicable feats for usage (d) might also need to be revisited. I tried to pick purely physical, action oriented, feats, that resolve quickly. When you're done with the details make sure and post the PRC. I think it's a really fantastic idea! [/QUOTE]
