[QUOTE="eris404, post: 2708187, member: 5338"] Hello all, I've been reading an excellent trilogy by Garth Nix ([I]Sabriel[/I], [I]Lirael[/I] and [I]Abhorsen[/I]) and I really like his Remembrancer, a type of mage that deals with death, undead and seeing into the past. In D&D/d20 terms, it is part necromancer, part bard and part loremaster. I like this so much that I think I'd like to introduce it as a prestige class or perhaps as alternate abilities for the bard in my game. Basically, the Remembrancer uses seven bells (or sometimes whistles or pipes); each has a different tone and magical effect(s), similar to the bardic music ability. Each bell and its ability, as described in the books, are below: Ranna, the Sleepbringer: causes all nearby beings to fall asleep (sometimes including the ringer) Mosrael, the Waker: brings a listener closer to life, but can bring the ringer closer to death Kibeth, the Walker: can give freedom of movement to the Undead or allow the ringer to control Undead, but can also force the ringer to go places against his will Dyrim, the Speaker: can give speech to the dead or meaning to long-forgotten words or silence a voice Belgaer, the Thinker: restores independent thought and memory or erase them Saraneth, the Binder: binds the dead to the will of the ringer Astarael, the Sorrowful: will cast all who hear it, including the ringer, deep into death Also, a Remembrancer can "scry" the past in mirrors, though this requires concentration and an expenditure of energy on the part of the mage. Though some of the abilities can directly translate into d20 terms, some of the others are difficult to explain outside of the context of the story, but I'm open to suggestions. I was thinking that some of the abilities could be based on the Perform skill and have a limited number of uses per day like bardic music. I've never created a prestige class before, so I'm looking for some ideas about how to go about this. Any ideas? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
