    Void Disciple won't happen on my watch; classes of more than 10 levels aren't in what I consider the "sweet spot" for IC builds.

    I myself am hoping for Acolyte of the Skin to be next. There are a lot of interesting builds you can get off of that one class...

    EDIT: Oops, was thinking of a different class. Sorry...

    Its totally gonna be planar shepherd because that's soo hard to optimize. You'd better give us lots of notice, because we'd need lots of time. Plus that would mean optimizing the Druid base! I don't even know what feats to take!

    Geomancer would actually be really interesting. I haven't taken a good look at the PrC before, and it has some really unique features.
    There is the moral of all human tales;
    'Tis but the same rehearsal of the past.
    First freedom and then Glory - when that fails,
    Wealth, vice, corruption - barbarism at last.
    And History, with all her volumes vast,
    Hath but one page...

    Actually, while it defeats the idea of using weak PrCs, it would be interesting to see if people can come up with original entries. Not that I am encouraging the use of Planar Shepard, but it could be entertaining.

    You know what would be interesting for an Iron Chef in the future? One of those PrCs that has more than 10 levels, meaning you have less base class and RHD levels to customize, if you want to take all PrC levels...

    I doubt it - notice how 8 of those 17 are from the Draconomicon (and not the Player's section, I might add), 3 are Prestigious Classes, and 1 is one of the two PrCs arguably better than straight druid.

    Well, that and Amph mentioned earlier that there'd only be 10-level ones while they're in charge.

    I'm hoping for Blighter, personally. There's a lot of potential for creativity and making people tear their hair out.

    The ways to take Geomancer, on the other hand, are kind of...really obvious.

    Yeah....I keep trying to find other ways aside from the really obvious ones right now, and it's tricky to do without burning caster levels. Back to reading through old 3.0 material to see if I'm missing something I suppose....

    ehhhhh, 3rd lvl druid spells really cut down on possible ways of entry.

    3rd Level Druid spells are easy, but automatically losing a level to become an ex-Druid is the irritating part, for me.
