[QUOTE="Duganson, post: 6727992, member: 1059"] Heya all, So with this last installment of UA we see the basics of what a 5E prC is and the first example of them in the Rune Scribe. I'll stand by my cautious bellyache of 'here comes the bloat' and my wish that they wrote up some toolbox for creating our own instead of the shadowbox we received, but they are coming, believe that. My hope is that their quality and care of design are as good as - if not better then - the existing material. I digress...B-) What I really would like to know is which of the 3.X PrCs and 4E Paragon Paths are you most wanting to have as 5E PrCs, what would they look like? Why do you think your favorites are not represented by existing class/archetype/background combinations and why do you believe it would make a better PrC then an archetype in and of itself? One I am kicking around: [B]Incantatrix:[/B] I loved this PrC back in the day for its unique ability to both constrict a caster's depth of spells yet expand what she could do with them. I know that Sorcerers are the wielders of metamagic in this edition but I believe to multiclass into sorcerer enough to emulate what the Incantatrix could do would be to miss the gist of her abilities. She might be translatable to a Sorcerer Archetype but the theme 'Master of metamagic' doesn't jive with the themes of the other two (or three) archetypes that already exist. I could see this PrC being nice for full progression casters that want to focus on their favorite types of spells at the actual hindrance (unlike 5E's Wizard Schools) of other spell types. I can see a Druid taking Incantatrix and specializing in fire spells, Clerics in healing, or a Wizard in their chosen specialization, loosing the ability to cast spells of the opposite descriptor or school but getting the Metamagic abilities of a Sorcerer in a brief 5 levels. I'm rummaging my mind for some more, specifically ones that allowed a PC to enter into and utilize the skills or resources of a Faction, race or social group without being easily converted into a background.[I] Like the Rune Scribe using a unique type of magic item, I can see this list being limited to PrCs and Paragon Paths that introduce a new system or expounds upon an existing one.[/I] Anyway I'm interested to see which you guys and gals feel need to be converted to the new edition.
