[QUOTE="Winterthorn, post: 59934, member: 1702"] :mad: Okay. So here's the problem: The Beastmaster prestige domain, as presented in Defenders of the Faith, is only accessible to the Contemplative prestige class. No other prestige class in DotF offers access to the Beastmaster prestige domain. Failing to find any obscure remark in DotF, or erratum to the contrary that I may have missed, that is what I've discovered thus far. (Rule Zeroing set aside.) This route of access IMO is not conceptually smooth, nor is it appropriate, when one reads the concept behind the Contemplative and compares that to the content of the Beastmaster prestige domain. It can be done, but there are certainly better choices of prestige domains for a Contemplative. So, I thought at the time that I got DotF, that this new prestige domain would be more effectively dealt with in Masters of the Wild--seemed like a sensible expectation to me! I was even looking forward to it. :) Tah-dah! No mention of any prestige class in MotW offering access to this seemingly relevant prestige domain! :( :confused: Folks, have I missed an erratum? Did I overlook something published somewhere? It seems to me that at least one, if not more, of the prestige classes presented in MotW could have made some kind of a connection, no? Animal Lord? King/Queen of the Wild? Tamer of Beasts? Did ‘Masters’ Eckelberry & Selinker "forget" to put the Beastmaster prestige domain to good use in MotW? A whole column could have been saved for the discussion of prestige domains for druids, like said Beastmaster, instead of REPEATING-verbatim three spells from DotF: Blight, Briar Web, and Slime Wave! What’s with that? Repetition over continuity? :rolleyes: Not appreciated. :( [Aside] Forgive me. This is one of those glaring holes in design continuity that drives a generally forgiving guy like me absolutely crazy! Hence the tone of this post. [/Aside] *Phew! Calming down now* Does anyone here have sound suggestions concerning the application of this "forgotten" prestige domain? [Before I start making my own Beastmaster prestige class (to exploit the poorly-applied-so-far prestige domain of the same name), I am hoping that we can come up with some good ideas on how to handle this... :D :D :D] Cheers anyway, :) [/QUOTE]
