Hey Leif... You're not allowing Precocious Apprentice to qualify as 2nd level caster requirements for prestige classes are you?

IMHO it's broken if you do allow it to be used as such but I'll take advantage of it to go master specialist at 4th level.

Edit: Oops... meant 3rd level...

Edit: nvm, Mikkanna would have to gain another bonus feat (via Human) and I'm not going to sacrifice character/rp for mechanics regardless!

Wish I'd seen this thread earlier - Harry Potter on steroids! Would be fun to play an choral scholar - singing his spells!

Might as well go ahead, roll him up, and fling him in the pot! As it stands now, I have no idea how I'll ever handle so many characters anyway, so what's one more gonna hurt?

Thank you! I thought I was unreasonable for thinking that sounded like a hare-brained idea. I still haven't even found Precocious Apprentice.

Actually... just for easy reference it's right here in a WotC excerpt. It's about 1/2 to 3/4 down the page.

As a side note it is interesting that you can start the Master Specialist PrC at 4th level without any difficulty at all. I think that it's one of those very rare and few intended as such though since it's really not an overpowered PrC and adds a lot more flavor to specialists. *shrug*

Added some background fluff, personality, and description to Mikkanna as well as character development info. What level are you interested in running this to? Just curious.

Well, to be fair I'm only going to qualify a level early - Master Specialist is designed to take 3 levels to qualify for, I'd make it in 2 instead.

If you do decide to nix that, would it at least allow qualification for feats (like having a reserve feat early)?

 

[Ryfte]

Just because I find it amusing I thought I'd comment... [begin commentary]

What makes a crossbow of any kind truly a different weapon proficiency than another?

Crossbow Instructions:
1. Draw crossbow (or turn winch)
2. Place bolt
3. Point at target using the sight
4. Pull trigger

And then there's the exotic crossbows... a.k.a. the repeaters... which do one thing differently... instead of loading a single bolt you slap a bolt case onto the top of the whole rig... it's a bit heavier... but you still point and click it, lol. Granted they've got to do something to eliminate every mage keeping a heavy repeater on hand but creating false limitations to enforce it still amuses me to no end!

At least with the exotic melee and thrown weapons there's some justification but point and click weapons? [End Commentary]

Thank you for tuning in...

Defense and Summoning

As the general orientation of my character will be defensive/protective magic it should not be that big of a stretch to add a few summoning spells in as well. In fact it makes a lot of sense to add summoning to his list as part of a good defense is being able to banish and or deal with summoned/conjured foes.

Remember... we are going to share spells... DM approved and suggested even.

(Not that I think most of my spells will be of interest... but still... )
