Thank you, trentonjoe, for your critique and suggestions.
As I said earlier, I planned on taking out all Undead related bonuses except the Extra-Turning feat. So I did.
Now, keep in mind that these powers the Bloodletter gains replace all further Domain Spell progressions. Most Domain spells can be cast once a day while a few of the Bloodletter powers may be cast once a week. Secondly, remember that by the time the Bloodletter has access to some of these powers, they're mid level characters. By the time the Bloodletter can cast fear, a 4th level spell, she's effectively a 10th level Cleric with access to 2 fifth level spells. By the time the Bloodletter can cast sow discord, she's effectively a 12th level character with access to 2 sixth level spells; discord works out to be a 6th level spell at most (confusion's a 4th level spell). I think these balance out.
Now, I agree with you on the Bloodlust ability. I will probably take your advice into consideration.
As for the Creature of the Night, it is intended as you saw it -- to couple with the Bloodlust. However, I forgot to include the DR the Bloodletter gains while in this form, making it a little more useful to a13th level Cleric who has to really think about using this when it can only be called on once a week.
As for making the rest of the abilities spells... well, that's the point. My cleric PrCs are essentially 3ed answers to the virtual non-existance of specialty priests. These powers are only available to those that worship Ostensis and there are only a few. Since I don't want to go through the hassle of creating a Bloodletter Domain (which actually shatters my intention of having specialty priest PrCs), I went with this option.
Hey! I really appreicate your suggestions and your analysis. If I post more PrCs (I have over 20 gods in my pantheon, half of whom will have PrCs), please offer the same service again... assuming you have time!
Thanks!
