Prestige Class Contest Chat Thread I
So, looking around, I was kind of sad to see we had a base class contest, Oblivimancer's Speakeasy (think that's the name) contest (which allows up to 3 level PrC's) but no prestige class contest... So yeah, I intend on doing prestige classes, which can be anywhere from 5-10 levels. So... (I suck at setting stuff like this up :smallbiggrin:) anyone wants to, and if so cast a vote for our next topic, or if you want me to start it and begin voting on topics after that we can start with
It's the Little Things...
Also, what would be a good time limit? Once per month, every 2 weeks? Just wondering, (totally has nothing to do with the fact that I am OCD as hell :smallbiggrin:
So, would anyone be interested (If my dragging on ramble hasn't frightened you off :smallwink:)?
A sample PrC template can be found here (for PrC's that don't advance spellcasting).
Here's One that Does.
Spoiler: Rules

Re: Prestige Class Contest Chat Thread I
I'd be happy to do this, I guess. I need more practice designing prestige classes (and classes in general...).

None off the top of my head, I guess. Maybe aberration or far realms focused PrCs, vermin PrCs, possibly racial paragons and maybe weapon-specific PrCs that enhance the weapon in question through the levels(adding properties, enhancements, enchantments, etc.)

Ooh, you just gave me an idea if we do a weapon one, although I would make it wider, like PrC's dealing with magic items specifically... no idea what I would call the contest though... Vermin and abberation-y titles have been added to my ideas spoiler :smallsmile:

That's a good idea, honestly. I was more thinking of a khopesh wielder that gains more power and tricks to use with the khopesh. Sort of like this class focused around the whip.

If we did that it would definitely fall under the heading... How about "This is my Rifle" ... although now that I think about it Marine boot camp is so ****ed up...

Re: Prestige Class Contest Chat Thread I
I'm interested in this, if only because Prestige Classes are somewhat less arduous for me.
I do think that Far Realms is somewhat overdone, but that's probably just some homebrew games I've been in speaking.

Re: Prestige Class Contest Chat Thread I
ErrantX used to run the prestige class contests around here. Techwarrior ran a few for a while as well at the end.
The old prestige class contests ran for about a month. Here is just one of the many first posts in that series, for reference. Here's a more recent second post, which is just a template.
I'm interested in this, so count me in if I get inspired.

Awesome, Count it as on... Anybody have a preferred topic?if not we're going with the one on the OP, but I'd put ti up to a vote preferably.

Re: Prestige Class Contest Chat Thread I
I'm fine with the topic in the OP, tempted to make a rogue PrC that gives you the ability to shrink size classes but leave the rest of your abilities alone and have your weapons deal damage as though they were normal sized.

Well, I was thinking... Nobody is voting for another topic so why not start it tomorrow?

I think that I will try my luck at making a PrC, I never have, but there is a first for everything

Re: Prestige Class Contest Chat Thread I
one quick thing, prestidigitation is rather complex and is a cantrip

Yeah? I consider 4th or under to be the little spells, although OMV. If you want to build a class around cantrips go ahead (hell, I am building a caster PrC that sacrifices the rest of her spells for rather powerful abilities... that affect her 0-4th levels.

Re: Prestige Class Contest Chat Thread I
Oh, boy. Little Things is the theme? The Wasp is really simple... Basically the core function of Rogue with a size reduction ability on top. Not that that's all that bad, but I started churning ideas of considerably higher complexity... basically instantly. Book of Vile Darkness derived casting progression shenanigans, minor magic item mass production, low-level spell focus, undersized grappling expert... I could expand these into outright twenty level base classes, if I wanted, but kinda prefer the simplicity of PRC design. You don't need it to cover a wide stretch of the game with the abilities, but can instead tie those abilities into pre-existing ones to offload most of the versatility onto the base class.
I suppose I'll work on the first outline of the Hive Mind based PRC. Because Vermin Lord is too abusable, thanks to the rules it gives access too, and I hate the pile of concepts they made Evil-only in BoVD. Now, do I want 1/2 or 1/3 casting per "integrated" Swarm HD...

Re: Prestige Class Contest Chat Thread I
Hey, are we allowed (should I allow it?) to PEACH other works while this is going on, that is one of the things I was never clear on with the contests...
