He based it on the Thaumaturgist in the DMG. What do you think? Balanced?There are a couple things I'm thinking of changing, but I wanted to run the class as written by the player by you all first for opinions and thoughts.WILDMASTERRequirementsTo qualify to become a wildmaster, a character must fulfill all the following criteria.Feats: Spell Focus (conjuration), Skill Focus (Concentration).Spells: Able to cast summon nature's ally III or better.Skills: Concentration 8 ranks------------------------Hit Die: d8.Class SkillsThe wildmaster’s class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are the same as the druid's.Skill Points at Each Level: 2 + Int modifier.BAB: as druidSaves: as druid[code]Level Special                 Spells per Day1st   Augment Summoning       +1 level of existing spellcasting class2nd   Extended Summoning      +1 level of existing spellcasting class3rd   Accelerated Summoning    4th   Contingent conjuration  +1 level of existing spellcasting class5th   Maximize Summoning      +1 level of existing spellcasting class[/code]Class FeaturesAll of the following are features of the wildmaster prestige class.Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Wildmasters gain no proficiency with any weapon or armor.Spells per Day: When a new wildmaster level is gained, the character gains new spells per day as if he had also gained a level in whatever spellcasting class he belonged to before he added the prestige class. This essentially means that he adds the level of wildmaster to the level of whatever other spellcasting class the character has, then determines spells per day and caster level accordingly.He does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained, with the exception that wildmaster levels stack with druid or ranger levels for purposes of determining animal companion advancement and wild empathy checks.If a character had more than one spellcasting class before he became a wildmaster, he must decide to which class he adds each level of wildmaster for the purpose of determining spells per day.Augment Summoning: At 1st level, a wildmaster gains the Augment Summoning feat.Extended Summoning: At 2nd level and higher, all spells from the summoning subschool that the wildmaster casts have their durations doubled, as if the Extend Spell feat had been applied to them. The levels of the summoning spells don’t change, however. This ability stacks with the effect of the Extend Spell feat, which does change the spell’s level.Accelerated Summoning: At 3rd level and higher, all spells from the summoning subschool that the wildmaster casts have their casting time changed from 1 round to 1 standard action.Contingent Conjuration: A 4th-level wildmaster can prepare a summoning or calling spell ahead of time to be triggered by some other event. This functions as described for the contingency spell, including having the wildmaster cast the summoning or calling spell beforehand. The spell is cast instantly when the trigger event occurs. The conditions needed to bring the spell into effect must be clear, although they can be general. If complicated or convoluted condition as are prescribed, the contingent conjuration may fail when triggered. The conjuration spell occurs based solely on the stated conditions, regardless of whether the wildmaster wants it to, although most conjurations can be dismissed normally. A wildmaster can have only one contingent conjuration active at a time.Maximize Summoning: At 5th, all spells from the summoning subschool that the wildmaster casts have the  number of creatures summoned maximized, as if the Maximize Spell feat had been applied to them. The levels of the summoning spells don’t change, however.  This results in the automatic summoning of 5 creatures 2 or more levels lower than the spell (instead of 1d4+1) or 3 creatures 1 level lower than the spell (instead of 1d3).  The spell still summons only 1 creature of the same level as the spell.------------------------------------Quasqueton</blockquote>
