[QUOTE="Clay_More, post: 703402, member: 9813"] Good PrC, in my humble opinion. It has a good atmosphere about it, mainly due to it's description. The abilites of the PrC goes well with the description. When I looked at it at first, I didn't think it was powerful enough. Yet, after taking a second glance, I think it is sufficient. I know, it doesn't look like a PrC a player would choose for "munchkin" reasons, which is actually good, it keeps the PrC away from those that would ruin it. Since it has both Spell Progression and Sneak Attack Progression, it acts as a multi-classes sorcerer/thief, without gaining benefits from the two classes as rapidly as a single-classed individual would. Instead of advancing as a thief, the player will advance as a Tear, which reduces the number of skill points available to him, doesn't give him any special thief abilities, but still allows to to gain extra sneak attack damage. On top of that, it gives him spells, and some extra abilities. The reason I compare it to a thief, is that it looks as if though it is a Rogue/Sorcerer PrC that highlights the Rogue aspect. The special abilities are more usable as a thief than as a sorcerer. I could easily imagine the PrC being played like "Thief with sorcerer spells to boost his abilities" instead of a "Sorcerer with sneak attack". Thus, emphasizing the PrC's connection with the Rogue class semms obvious. Yet, it doesn't lack in the magic department and I could easily imagine these Tears being extremely sneaky people. Since some of their abilities require Hide checks, the sneakiness would improve even further (can you even say that...). Good PrC, just one little, minor detail. Under the class ability Shadow's Embrace ". This expulsion will disorient the Tear as if affected by a ray of enfeeblement for 1d6 rounds. " Isn't there a spell that's a little more suitable than the strength-draining RoE? I dont normally connect disorientation with strength-loss [/QUOTE]
