    There is no Animal Lord class in Races of the Wild. AFAIK, the Complete Adventurer version is the only one.

    I think he means the 3.0 something-something of the wild.

    Masters of the Wild, maybe? Unfortunately, I got rid of a lot of my 3.0 material, so I can't check it.

    Correction, sorry. I meant Masters of the Wild. Yes i know, it's 3.0, but i had it handy.

    Don't be too hard on me, just had the thought while sitting here in my cubicle at work.

    They are significantly different. The 3.0 version is much better, sadly. 4th level casting, at will wild shape for the animal type, and the ability to grant a lesser version thereof to allies.

    Not yet, but I know what BooNL's concept is going to be, and I'm looking forward to the execution.

    We've had 8 Iron Chef competitions of playable characters, including playable Entropomancers. Don't let me down on this one.

    Arg, I've just realised my build gets the same ability two different ways, really poor optimisation, also about -10000 elegance.

    Dammit. I may not end up submitting.

    I just got back from vacation, (and finally saw the results of the last competition), but I don't think I'll have time to write up a build this time around. I would be interested in judging, though, if there is room.

    Crunch is done, the fluff is all in my head, now it's just about getting it out. Prinny, should I send you a PM of the crunch now, or just wait until it's all together?

    I'd prefer it if all of the formatting is done before you submit your entry.

    Y'know... something occurred to me so went to look it up. The druid alternative shapeshift feature in the PHB II grants practically all this entire PrC does before you're even of level to qualify for it, and does it better.

    Does it let you talk to animals with your mind?

    Also, Prinny, are submissions due Monday morning or Monday night?

    Nope, one ability it doesn't have. Not saying Animal Lord is completely replaced, but pretty darned close.

    Monday, 9 pm, EST is how he's been doing it.

    It grants telepathy with the chosen animal.

    Yeah, but I think this one is so far the tops (or is it the bottoms?)

    Still, have found a couple unique things to it to exploit.

    I'm not going for exploits, just a playable (optimized) character with a consistent theme and compelling backstory. I may be doing it wrong...

    yay. Half submitted! That table took longer than I would have liked. Worth it though, the presentation is a lot better.

    edit. Done and done. Looking forward to see what else is on the menu.
