Other Prestigue Class

[Bartmanhomer]

Is there such thing as Black, Red, and White mage exist in D&D? For example, black mage cast damaging spells, white mage used healing spells and red mage used both damaging and healing spells!

I guess - I've never thought of it as a PrC, but it's fairly common (at least in our campaign) for a Cleric to be a "White Mage" and a Sorc. to be a "Red Mage"...

I don't know if that's common in anyone elses games, but I always thought it just made sense...

What I really think in my opinion for Black Mage relies on Intelligence, White Mage for Wisdom, and Red Mage both Intelligence and Wisdom for the prestigue class! But I think is possible?

There's a large FFd20 thread on the Wizards of the Coast 'Videogame d20' board. It includes d20 system stats for Black, White and Red Mages. However, it's not, strictly speaking, D&D in that it doesn't use the D&D spell lists or spellcasting system (or at least it didn't the last time I checked).

In actual D&D, "Black Mage" and "White Mage" are functions of the wizard/sorcerer and cleric, and a "Red Mage" would be either a bard or, as a prestige class, a Mystic Theurge. The latter (in the DMG and the SRD) sounds like what you're looking for in a Red Mage.

Cool! Can A Red Mage consider to be a fighter class too?!

There's a white mage in AEG's good.

Black mage is just about any necromancy focussed PRC.

Depending on how strong you want to be in the areas of divine casting (white), arcane casting (black), and fighting, you could go with the following:

Fighter 1/Cleric 3/Wizard 3/Mystic Theurge 10/Eldritch Knight 3

Or some combination like that. My guess is you're probably going to want a Bard.

A bard can cast some arcane and divine spells like a sorceror. Can wear some armor while doing so. And it has some fighting ability.

I think white/red/black in D&D is probably quite parallel to classes. If white means healing only, well obviously you won't have a white wizard/sorcerer, but you would if you considered "white" also protection spells and spells which negate negative afflictions (dispel magic, break enchantment...).

OTOH, most of the cleric heal but also damage/kill a lot. I've never seen a spotless "white" cleric so far

There's a white mage in AEG's good.

I've never seen that book. Is this white mage a PrCl, a core class or something else entirely? Does it cast healing spells?

 

[Bartmanhomer]

Is it possible that I could used the "prestigue" mages for level 1 instead of the regular class?

By the rules, no.
