Remaking a custom pantheon that works the same as the Sovereign host for a specific game.

Council of the Dark Prophecy
A collection of gods and immortal beings who seek to either plunge every material plane into permanent darkness or failing that to destroy it utterly.

AussirKhuno [Winter, Cold, Dragon, Evil, Trickery] [Lesser]
God of the winter drakes who seeks not only endless night but the endless deep winter of the frostfell.
Gdkr'chk'n'nk'm'kp [Destruction, Decay, Madness, Undead][Overdiety]
A mysterious being who speaks only through a tiny group of select Heralds and grants no actual domains and does not answer any prayers.
Vershnat [Evil, Perversion, Protection][Greater]
Orc aspect of the cruel and evil Fertility goddess. Her only reason for being on the council is that if a tide of death and darkness must sweep through all of creation it should be at the hands of the Orcs.
Kiaransalee [Chaos, Drow, Evil, Retribution, Sin-Envy, Sin-Pride, Undeath][Intermedite]
Exiled Drow goddess of necromancy, evil and corruption. She seeks only enough power to overthrow Lolth and restore herself to full divinity.
Mushnugapt [Orc, Evil, Chaos, Perversion, Pleasure, Greed] [Lesser]
A very new deity born from the blending of the divine energies and worship of Kiaransalee and Vershnat in an Orc priestess. Now worshiped widely in the Orc lands.
Burzum, Lord of Darkness [Corruption, Decay, Pestilence, Vile Darkness, Orc][No Divine Rank]
Lord of the Orc lands and an immortal seeking to bring about eternal winter and darkness only so that he can furthur his cause of using pestilence to bring entire material planes under his personal control.
Kurtulmak [Evil, Law, Luck, Trickery][Intermediate]
The mischievous god of the Kobolds is here purely for the fun of it.
Vecna [Evil, Knowledge, Magic][Lesser]
Vecna seeks power and knowledge. Intrigued by the presence of Gdkr'chk'n'nk'm'kp.
Ha-Kniellghy [Evil, Chaos, Destruction, Greed, and Undeath][Quasi-deity]
Exiled God from a shattered prime material plane that has traveled for millenia through the void in search of redemption and a return to his lost divinity.
Tiamat Cold, Deathbound, Darkness, Dragon, Dragon below, Fire, Hunger, Metal, Necromancy, Scalykind, And War][Greater]
Lord of the Evil Dragons. She is present merely because many of the followers of the Dark prophecy are themselves Dragons.

Domains list:

Winter, Dragon, Evil, Trickery, Destruction, Decay, Madness, Undead
Perversion, Protection, Retribution, Sin-Envy, Sin-Pride, Undeath, Cold
Pleasure, Greed, Corruption, Decay, Pestilence, Vile Darkness, Hunger

Have it continue getting levels in previous divine, arcane, spellcasting class or manifesting class or the domains are kinda useless.

Gaiyamato
2012-08-02, 05:09 AM
That is what I was doing yeah. Got it all up there now.
Just need to do epic progression.

Dr.Orpheus
2012-08-02, 07:02 PM
What about an ability related to each rider that can be chosen at 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th level. I would like to create my own, in regards to my character.

Ghost of the God Snake (SU): Once per day a Herald may add his charisma modifier to attack rolls, damage rolls, AC, Saves, and skill checks for a number of rounds equal to their Herald level.

Gaiyamato
2012-08-02, 08:27 PM
I actually attempted to edit that in last night but the forums were not responding for 3 hours and then I had to go to bed. The angel is just a place-holder.

Dr.Orpheus
2012-08-02, 08:39 PM
Alrighty then. You could make yours, but try and make it related to something your character does, thats what I did.

Many domain powers depend on level. What is the level for the bonus domains? And if existing domains also increase like spells do (they probably should), that needs to be said.

Gaiyamato
2012-08-02, 10:19 PM
That does not make sense. Domains based on level are based on either Cleric levels (which this class advances) or total character levels (which any class advances). Making the point moot.

Dr.Orpheus
2012-08-02, 10:27 PM
I think the point is the domains based off cleic caster levels don't work with Physics or arcane casters.

Gaiyamato

I think the point is the domains based off cleic caster levels don't work with Physics or arcane casters.

Just as it works with the Sovereign speaker class you just go off the levels in caster/manifester same thing as with the Cleric. Though clearly they only gain the domain powers and not the spells.
I could add that Cleric level == caster level or manifester level in chosen class perhaps.

Ya and do you have any plans to use this PRC for? (Send a PM just in case the other players find this)

On Tiamat, Change the Domains:

Cold, Deathbound, Darkness, Dragon, Dragon below, Fire, Hunger, Metal, Necromancy, Scalykind, And War.

Gaiyamato
2012-08-02, 11:02 PM
That is a lot? Are those her official domains?

I have this listing for Tiamat (http://www.imarvintpa.com/dndlive/DeityIndex.php?Deity_ID=117).

If Drack approves it I'll change a whole bunch of my Tantrists to have levels in this.

This is being made for a specific game world and these people are in the game with me and will be using this with me. :smallsmile:
There are four of us working on this in effect.

Actually, it doesn't, as written. "This does not grant any features of that class except Caster/Manifester level, spells/powers per day, power points and spells/powers known." Domain powers are not on that list.

Who are the Four Horsemen?

Also, Smite Good in a bullet for 1GP is WAYYYYYYYYY too cheap. Especially if you want the Smite effect to be based on the shooter's Charisma modifier and character level. Need to be more specific on how exactly this works, and no matter what, the price needs to be drastically increased.

In that case virtually every cleric prestige class has the same problem.

Given that it is a +1 enchantment enhancement to get bonuses to smite, plus extra uses to smite, it is clear that giving a single smite good attempt is less than a +1 enhancement bonus.
This is also bestowed on one-use only ammunition instead of the weapons themselves. Lastly this ammunition is not actually magic. Simply infused with evil. But it does not even count as [EVIL] or [MAGIC] for purposes of bypassing DR.

1gp per shot for a possible minimal non-magical smite good attempt is actually quite expensive. I might have agreed if it was smite opposition or something a little more generically useful.

EDIT: Using the magic item creation rules these should cost 2sp each in fact. Or 1gp per 5. (on top of the cost of the shot)

Edit 2: Given it is ammunition and the Charisma bonus is to attack roll, it cannot apply. Someone without smite good deals +0 damage. Someone who already has smite good would deal more damage based on their level in the class that grants the smite ability.

No, as most cleric prestige classes don't focus much on domains, and therefore the fact that you're sacrificing domain power strength for the abilities of the PrC isn't such a concern. This class, however, goes so far as to grant additional domains, so clearly domains are a major part and domain powers should therefore improve with it.

Gaiyamato
2012-08-04, 10:22 PM
This is a modified version of Sovereign Speaker, and gives a lot less domains than that class does.
There are over a dozen classes that grant domains, several that non-clerics can enter. I have used the same wording as many of them do.

So if there is a problem here then there is also a problem with dozens of official classes. Already I am much more explicit than most of those classes.

Yitzi
2012-08-05, 12:24 AM
Ok then...Still means Sovereign Speaker (as well as this one) is sort of absurd by RAW, but there's a case to be made that RAI is that domain powers progress as well.

Gaiyamato
2012-08-05, 12:28 AM
Indeed strict RAW can get silly.
RAI it works fine.

Yitzi
2012-08-05, 11:38 AM
That's often the case; what makes this case different is that if there weren't non-Core classes which make it absurd, there'd be a case to be made that RAI is in fact the same as RAW. (After all, it's not so crazy that a minor ability such as domain power progression would be given up in order to get the benefits of a prestige class.)
