forgive the poor formating, but...

The Sisterhood is comprised mostly of female clerics who grew frustrated with the male dominated heirarchy of the Reaper. Alanzanadra, a female Half-Blue Dragon, was said to have founded the order after she was denied higher advancement as a cleric of the Reaper. Rouges are often attracted to the order for their improved ability to conceal themselves in shadow. Few members of the other classes join this cult but they do exist occasionally.

Just a bump for you.

The reason i suspect you are not getting responces is that too few people are comfortable with Dragon Star to make PRC's yet....

Thats why Im not commenting, I am starting my Dragonstar campaign on wednesday. I think the prc may be a tad to powerful im not sure...

First, I admit I know nothing about Dragonstar...

...however, I do like it. But I suppose being able to rely on my players to not take PrClasses without good in-character reasons, it seems reasonable to me. It relies on fairly even multiclassing, which can hurt either Sneak Attack or spellcasting, or high levels of cross-class skills...but, as I said, I don't know anything about Dragonstar, so I don't know if Move Silently and Hide become class skills for clerics of the Reaper. If it does, I still like it. :)

Harvest of Souls is an interesting power, considering it's a good way to thresh through minor hordes at higher party levels without expending a lot of playing time in combats that don't affect the PC's much. I was looking at the save DC in regards to higher-level foes a while, but it seems balanced at only once per week.

But these are just the opinions of someone with no knowledge of the campaign setting, so I might be way off base. Consider it a long bump. :D
