[QUOTE="korasukage, post: 1265686, member: 14423"] [b]Shadowmage PrC[/b] Hi Sertimon thanks for the feedback now on to your responses... 1) I would go with the Shadowed Casting rather than Shadowmeld. Otherwise, you could do either way, but I'd probably move it down on the list........ Yup thats exactly what I was thinking. So I will replace Shadowmeld with Shadowed Casting. Actually do you think it would be alright to add the shadowmeld at a later level or would this be to overpowered or should I just remove it completely? 2) Take note that having Knowledge (the Planes) at 7 ranks makes it a lot harder for a Sorcerer to gain levels in the Shadowmage. But perhaps that's your intention with the PrC?...... You are correct this is on purpose though if someone wanted to make the prc more accessible to a sor than it would be easy to lower that requirement in order to allow them to take it as well. Also as for the move silently I will be adding that in as a requirement I somehow cut it out of my original post. My original concept(that involves my world and where the shadowmages originated) is that of a skulking mage that would was used for scouting, spying, and info gathering. Somewhat like the arcane trickster but a little more refined. Actually I'll most likely add in disguise as a class skill becuase it makes sense. 3) As to feat requirements ... Spell Focus (illusion) or Skill Focus (hide) could work..... Yeah those are the ones that I was thinking about as well I just wanted to come with something more favourful. I'll check out the FR book. If I find something in there I'll post it. 4) I don't like the Blackened Soul ability because of the -2 penalty to effective caster levels.... I know that not everyone would like that but this is somewhat of a specialist wizard so instead of making the pc choose a barred school I instead imposed a negative to the school that makes the most sense. If someone does not like it they could simply remove it. 5) As for flavour text I will be adding it I just wanted to see if the prc would float or not before I put the effort into creating it. I should have it up by tonight. Let me know what you think of the above. Thanks:) [/QUOTE]
