Disicple of Rajaat History/Goals
Sacha of Arala was the first champion to complete his task in the cleansing war. While the other champions continued leading their armies on conquests of extermination Sacha envisioned a more subtle way of of dealing with Rajaats foes. He sponsered a group of dedicated defilers who served Rajaat as assassins and spies. Since Rajaat wasn't that interested in them in reality the Disicples were placed under Sachas control as a reward for his rapid cleansing. Sacha used them as a hidden knife. Rajaat however was betrayed and Sacha beheaded.
The surviving Disciples retreated to a hidden Fortress near Celik where they continued to plot in Sachas absense. Soon after the end of the Cleansing War they tried to eliminate Kalid-Ma in Kalidnay who responded by destrying their order. One apprentice named Zeon survived however and retreated to a remote valley where the Disciples had buried their dead in elaborate tombs carved into the southern reaches of the ringing mountains. Zeon eventually became an undead spirit (use the ghost template Zeon 10 Defiler/10 DoR) and trained up a new order.
Over the years the remaining Disciples have forgotton most of their old knowledge and often dedicate years towards goals the rest of Athas never even knows about. Typical missions include retrieving artifacts/magic items Rajaat crafted, finding Rajaats ancient lair near Thamasku, hoardind items from the Green Age, killing a Dragon, killing a Sorceror King, etc. Needless to say they haven't had much luck in most of their quests.
The rest of Athas does however have reason to be thankful towards the Disciples. While their ultimate goal is to free Rajaat they have managed to eliminate several would be Dragons, 1 Dragon in the early stages of metamorphosis and they managed to manipulate Kalid-Ma's goal of becoming a fully transformed Dragon before Hamanu, Kalak and Borys destroyed him. All Dragons are abominations in their eyes. Shortly before the events in the Prism Pentad the DoR were once again all but destroyed by Borys the Dragon. Only Zeon and another apprentice survived this assault and were in no shape to assist Rajaats brief escape from the hollow. In the free year timeline they are currently looking for potential recruits and approach any promising defilers.

Is there no arcane caster advancement (i.e. spells per day) for your PrC?
There is. I just wrote it above the BAB. The PrC has full caster progression. You don't really need a table that says +1 arcane spellcaster level 10 times over.
;)
O - then I guess it is the rest of us and WotC who are all doing it wrong- silly me.
Rofl
And it should always follow the 'normal' format and use the correct language for generic abilities- most of which can be found in the PrC Appendix I and the SRD. Following said format will draw more interest and make it easier to merge into individual campaigns.
Of all the PrC's that I have made- not that there are that many- I have only had one come out close to the finished product on the first pass. Then there are others that, while not 100% right off, drew so much interest that others were willing to throw in their two cents and give me the desired feedback that made them (the PrC) a damn fine product. And there have been others that I have gotten almost zero feedback on, but I have soldiered on and put it out on the board anyway, chipping away at it until I am happy with the end result.
:D
It's a cool idea so far and I am interested, but I'm not going to bother if you aren't going to at least show me you care enough to make it somewhat more readable and put into the proper format.
I was short on tim.e last night when I posted it. I'll errata it to flesh it oot.
Sweet. Can't wait.
:bounce:
How does one create a table? The BAB, saves and spells look good when I edit it but get jumbled togather once I hit the submit reply/edit button?
People use the "CODE" tags in order to have preformatted text (the kind where white space characters are actually remembered and used).

Thanx I've got it looking mor or less right now (I think).
All the abilities you have listed are fine, except for Spell Betrayal. You haven't really justified the ability in the description or prerequisites and it's defined too loosely. The way I'm reading it you could merely make yourself invisible and let loose area effect spell on a large group gaining the extra damage against all of them. On top of the shear power of this ability, it doesn't make any sense that an energy based area effect spell would be able to do precision based damage like a sneak attack.
Hmmm... much much too powerful.

Yeah I would agree. I liked the idea and borrowed it from a PrC in the Book of Vile Darkness. That PrC didn't have full caster levels though. Replace it with sneak attack or errata it that it only applies to weapon like spells (as per Complete Arcane). Or get rid of it totally.
