[QUOTE="Nyaricus, post: 2732554, member: 35678"] Hey Sigurd! Nice class you have here, i think i might pilifer (ps?) for my own campaign setting - it won't be exactly the same in theme, but i think i will be able to get it going smoothly enough - with a wee nit of editing, of course ;) Now, as for your specific PrC here . . . Actually, i'd say magic would be banned - too many [i]charm persons[/i], and divination spells. Diplotmats would be those who make their living by their wit and tongue - not by their arcane lore. I think that adding to spellcasting levels would, in all honesty, be inappropriate. It also discourages rogues (one fo the best classes IMO that a elf can go into) but getting useless abilities. If you still insist on spellcasting for this class, have it as a prereq - but don't penalize those that make characters against their "racial steriotypes" (damn you WotC, DAMN YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUU!!!) jj :P ther are no feats in D&D that allow you to increase your [i]ranks[/i] in a skill (the Iron Heroes theif class has a special ability though, but that definitively ain't standard D&D). Bonuses, yes, but not ranks. Also, it may be the same mechanic as the ollam class, but this is for [b]elves[/b] not for bearded gnomes ( :lol: ) so i don't think (by that remark) that you are getting the theme right here. Diplomacy, sense motive, and bluff would be [i]much[/i] more appropriate than two x 10 ranks in knowledge skills. In politics, its not how much you know, it's how much your opponents thnk you know. Personally, i think your prereqs for this are out of whack. They don't make any sense, really. I think a few feats might be appropriate, in the line of Negotiator (+2/+2 Diplomacy and Sense Motive) and/or Skill Focus (Diplomacy). Li Shenron had the awesome idea of giving the Elven Dilomat a competence bonus to Diplomacy based on the Prc's level. If you decide to drop spell casting, maybe cinch this up by allowing a competence bonus to Diplomacy, Bluff and Sense Motive, based on Elven Diplomat level. I thnk that's all i'd do for now.
