I have a few new PrCs in the works and I was wanting to get some ideas from you all on what you think these classes might need. All of these PrCs have been started, but I am looking for...something. I do not know what, but I will know it when I see it.
I will not go into a lot of detail on what I have for them right now - I would like to see what you all propose first.
Here we go:
High Templar - I am planning on using my templar domains for this class, granting them at least one additional domain and maybe improving their sigil.
Noble Scion - so far I have based this PrC kind of off the idea of using the Favored in House feat from the Eberron Campaign. This is not a powerhouse PrC, but something that a straight classed Aristocrate could qualify for at around 4th to 6th level.
Member of the Order (Epic) - masters of psionics - I could see granting them some bonus epic feats and I was also thinking of maybe something along the lines of the Spell Pool that the Guild Mage has.
Like I said - this is just some general stuff I have been working on - I would like to know what you all think too before I go and do these things fully.
(and yes Dirk - the Crystal Adept will be completed soon - promise)
Thanks
Anyhow, those are my two bits.
Oh, nevermind.
:P
Don't know if high templar needs an actual PrC. To me, it would just be a title given to a high level templar of a SK. Levels in a SK's specialty PrC (i.e. black cassock, yellow robe, etc...) would also denote how high they were in any said city-states' goverment.
Anyhow, those are my two bits.
Well - think of it in terms with the Arch Psion, Archmage, and Hierophant. The High Templar is the most advanced practitioner of templar magic and in the closest favor with their respective monarch. Therefore they are able to have access to abilities and powers that dwarf those of most any other templar.
The Black Cassock and the Yellow Robes serve a purpose - but it would be the High Tempars who would be running the show with only their SK to answer too.
Hey, so what about my -
Oh, nevermind.
:P
Don't you have some READING to do!!! Maybe a little bit of EDITING to!!! :P
Ponder this.Tithian was given the title of high templar by Kalak in the Prism Pentad. He didn't exhibit any increase in spell or divine ability, just an increase in status and privilege. If your PrC focused on special uses of secular authority and charisma based skills I'd be more open to the possibility of an actual high templar PrC.
But hey, I'm just one guy with a turkey fetish
Why listen to me?
Dirk, please tell me that in your story a certain Trebor is cowardly attacked, tortured and murdered by a total wussy? Please? :D
Hey - that is not fair! So I am pulling a Jon and telling you to take your off-topic conversations elsewhere bub! :P :D
Noble Scion is also interesting as an idea. What sort of things do you see it as being able to do? Have you considered looking at the Noble base classes in the Dragonlance campaign setting and the Conan ogl setting? Both have some very interesting mechanics that you might lift for your prcl.
As for High Templar, the only issue I have with it is that it might be very limited in how many people can have access to it. I presume that there would be only one High Templar per Bureau in each city, so that's a very small group of people. General design philosophy prestige classes suggests that you don't need a class for a tiny group of people. It needn't represent a huge group, but there should be an appreciable amount of members to make it worthwhile having a class for. Otherwise a feat tree might be a better way to approach it (Bureau Exemplar -> Templar Commander -> High Templar or something like that).
:pile: 
you mean the Hack'em Master? :D
Jon loves those guys!
Jus the other day he was like "Kalthandrix. I think that the Hack'em Masters rule and they are the coolest idea that anyone has ever had! I think that they should take over a city-state and rename it the State of Hack'em, and the Sorcerer-king could be Slice'em. King Slice'em could be a immortal killer who is like all decked out in blades and stuff with like the ability to make a flensing strike that shears all the targest skin from their bones and then animates them to be his undying servants."
I was like "Whooow Jon! I like your energy here, but the Hack'em Masters would never set up in a city-state. They are like a swarm of locust that swoop in and devouer everything in their path and then moves on to new lands. I might be able to hook oyu up up sometime with a stated out version of some of them, but for now I think we need to focus upon some of the other projects that are needing to be finished first."
:D
The only idea that I can give you about that is the name that I had chosen myself for the PrC: The Cerebral Master. Hope you like it, and if you use it, I'm sure you'll do justice to it.
Jon loves those guys!
Yes, may they forever stay buried and encased in Obsidian. :P
Rangers.
Sure, there's the beast hunters and the Master Scout, but what I was hoping for was something that focuses on the stealth aspects of the ranger.
I like the Master Scout, but I don't want to take levels in any other class because I'd lose out on things like Camouflage and HiPS.
Perhaps something like the Desert Nomad. Focus on the ranger's stealth skills, give them increased speed or something, not like the Master Scout's party-bonus ability, but as a personal speed increase, not unlike the Barbarian.

Bruno: No.
Kal: I'm on it!
Everyone Else: Hi!
Kal: I'm on it!
That's great news!!!
Now what exactly is "it" that you are on? - oh - wait a minute! Okay, I officially know what "it" now is and we can all carry on with our lives in peace!
Bruno: No.
I don't like you anymore :P

Er, crap - you mean I wasn't supposed to carry on my life in peace *before* doing "it"? Whoops. My apologies to all who I may have negatively impacted with this lapse in judgement.
I don't like you anymore :P
I don't recall you ever mentioning that you liked me in the first place. :P
Er, crap - you mean I wasn't supposed to carry on my life in peace *before* doing "it"? Whoops. My apologies to all who I may have negatively impacted with this lapse in judgement.
Of course not silly - you are supposed to do my bidding in all things first! All other activities and desires you may have once hand have been supplanted by MY needs and desires.
Now honestly - how could you have been so selfish as to do other things before doing my stuff. Geeze!
PS: New shoes are awesome! I got this new spring in my step today--the like of which I have not had since I burnt down that little runt village of Ogo!

Moon boots?
Moon boots?
Nope - Sketchers. They have a really thick sole and deep treds - great for head stomping and leaving one's mark on the faces of your enemies!

It was already released by athas.org, here. It's called avangion.

You'll be sacked for revealing trade secrets like that!

I am like 75% done with the Member of the Order PrC - this one will also include a stated out NPC as well, for your gaming goodness.
I am hoping to have it done in the next day or so - and as soon as it is finished, I will post it.
