Re: Prestige Class Contest Chat Thread I
In the hands of someone with their eye on ruining the game, maybe. A possible "Fix" rolling around in my head for spells like Gate, Wish, Shapechange, Polymorph, PAO, Planar Binding and a few others is just to make them elite, honestly. Force someone to take levels in Currently Nameless Elite Summoner or Currently Nameless Elite Transmuter instead of incantatrix if they want to get access to all that.

Re: Prestige Class Contest Chat Thread I
One thing to do to the Elite classes is to make them proper specialists, with bonuses relevant to the form of magic they use. Stuff like giving the Leveller automatic Extend/Widen spell if it wouldn't push the effective spell level over their current maximum Elite Spell Level Known. The wording would also neatly prevent using the feature to go over the normal limit on metamagic...

Re: Prestige Class Contest Chat Thread I
Still haven't decided if I should add these or what level yet, but here they are if your interested:
Invisible Rider (Su): 3/day you and your mount become invisible as per the invisibility spell.
Spell-like abilities: Faerie Fire, Sleep Strike, Euphoric Strike, and Elemental Strike
I’m thinking Faerie Fire at will, Sleep Strike 1/day or 1/encounter gaining one (/encounter) or two (/day) additional uses as you level, Euphoric Strike and Elemental Strike 3/day or 5/day… Sparrow Riders use ECL as CL.
I think these spells or something very similar should already exist, but since I didn’t see them in the SRD I created them…
Euphoric Strike: One creature within 60 feet is staggered, sickened, and immune to fear effects for 1d6 rounds per 5 CL.
Elemental Strike: A missile of magical energy darts forth from your fingertip and strikes its target, dealing 1d4+X points of your choice of Fire, Cold, Electricity, or Acid damage. X is 5 for fire, 4 for cold, 3 for electricity, and 1 for acid. The missile strikes unerringly, even if the target is in melee combat or has less than total cover or total concealment. Specific parts of a creature can’t be singled out. Inanimate objects are not damaged by the spell. For every five CL increase the hit die by one step: 1d6 at CL 5, 1d8 at CL 10, 1d10 at CL 15, and 1d12 at CL 20.
Sleep Strike: One creature within 90 feet who has fewer HD than your caster level, falls into a magical sleep for one minute per 5 CL. The creature can be awakened early if it takes 3 hp in damage per minute remaining of the affect or by being shaken with a strength check DC 10 + CL.
EDIT: Went ahead and added them, with some slight adjustments...Last edited by Ranged Ranger; 2017-11-18 at 02:14 AM.

Re: Prestige Class Contest Chat Thread I
It is actually intended to be taken kinda serious, but not Crash the sky. So balance critique would be very appreciated. Why make something that never sees play?
Correct thanks for the catch.
The levels don't convert they just count as levels. so you would still be a level 10 intern level 1 wizard at level 11. But you would have the caster level and spells per day of a level 16 wizard and the max spell level of a level 11 wizard.
Its a class intended to instill salt into the player until they hit level 11 and it was all worth it.

Re: Prestige Class Contest Chat Thread I
There's one good use of Intern for optimization, though. You get to grab abilities of a class with progression beyond the class's normal limit, and you can get abilities while skipping prerequisites.

Re: Prestige Class Contest Chat Thread I
Actually, you take levels in Intern before entering a class, then take that class into Epic for progression past normal limits. The real kicker is that it does not require you to meet any requirements of the class you're going into and doesn't specify base class in any way.
So you take a level or two of Intern for a 6-10 level PRC to skip the requirements of the PRC, or two levels of it for something like being a Neutral Good Bard or Sorcerer to pick up Paladin features.
Going into Epic, you take Intern levels as the start of your build to get effective levels in a PRC of your choosing, like Hive Master. Let's just say you're interning for a level 30 archdruid who's epic levels are all Hive Master. You now have PRC features as a 1st level character, and Hive Master happens to be a self-qualifying PRC so you can go right from Intern into Hive Master proper for an effective 15 levels in a 5 level PRC that makes you a half caster that can choose their spell list list daily. And you have five levels to grab whatever stacking on Hive Master you want, so you can be 20th level with equal Hive Master abilities to your teacher and somewhat inferior Druid casting. And, at 30th level, end up ten levels ahead of them in Hive Master abilities.

Re: Prestige Class Contest Chat Thread I
My comment about april fool's class was based on your image/name/flavor text being too modern for the normal medieval fantasy setting and I didn't understand what the capstone was doing.
Now that I have a better understanding of what it does, I actually like it as a flavorful PC option... Interns of level 9 and below could still be awesome NPCs too.
I do have a few more questions though:
Can your example Intern 10/Wizard 1 be a professional for an Intern 1 right away or do they have to wait until they're Intern 10/Wizard 6?
Can you even become Intern 10/Wizard 6? If so do you cast as a Wizard 21 with Epic Casting, or does your advancement plateau, making it better to go Intern 10/Wizard 5/Factotum 1?

I've taken the extended deadline as an opportunity to add an Epic Atomos Mage feat. I don't generally play that high level so if people could check that it is balanced and works with the mechanics that would be helpful.

Re: Prestige Class Contest Chat Thread I
Looks like I need to adjust my class a little. Most of what you said is intended. Yes archdruid would need to be a druid 15/hive master 15+ to qualify as a professional to a intern allowing them to reach level 10 in the class.
Yes, your caster level would be that for your wizard spells but you still are not epic which is another part fo the epic spell feats requirements. So a level 10intern/10wizard has CL 25 so mage armor lasts 25 hours, but even though you have CL 21+ you are not epic, so no epic level spell feats. a level 10 intern/6 wizard would just have a CL of 21, but would still be a level 16 in fact. Nothing the intern does unlocks abilities faster they just make them stronger.
The idea i was pointing more at with my questions is: If I made the class less then 10 level it becomes a dead end class as you can only advance 10 level prestige classes past the listed cap in epic? The problem is 10 is kinda the perfect number of levels for it.

Re: Prestige Class Contest Chat Thread I
What happens when there is an intern in a epic prestige class(such as a epic master specialist intern) does it gets the class features of a level 15 epic master specialist once it gets its certificate including epic feats?(since epic master specialist is a class I see no problem in that)
Or an intern in internship?
Its capstone would progress his intern level which would progress his intern level and so on giving him the class features of an infinite level intern(not really useful)Last edited by noob; 2017-11-21 at 03:36 AM.

Re: Prestige Class Contest Chat Thread I
I am quite sure getting infinite class features that all do nothing but getting you more class features could simply be approximated by giving you no class features.
On the other hand I can only imagine how horrible it is to become an intern with the intent of becoming an intern at the end of your carrier.Last edited by noob; 2017-11-21 at 04:23 AM.

Re: Prestige Class Contest Chat Thread I
Just for the record you don't have to go off those in the OP, they were just ideas that were mentioned or I jotted down in case nobody could come up with something for a future contest. Thus if someone wanted to do/ssuggest a different theme then what's there feel free to.

Re: Prestige Class Contest Chat Thread I
A few other suggestions for next context or a later contest:
"Light is not necessarily good, dark is not necessarily evil"
"Homebrew power" (the idea being that the PrCs need to use some pre-existing homebrew)
"Specialization"
"Words"
"For whom the bell tolls" (the idea being music themed PrCs)
"Against the gods"My homebrew:

Re: Prestige Class Contest Chat Thread I
That seems reasonable.
Question about voting. Can we include a vote for something in more than one category? (Say giving the same thing for best use of theme and also include that as one of one's top 3). I'm still thinking about my voting and I would just like to know how restrictive the voting options are.Last edited by JoshuaZ; 2017-11-21 at 10:15 PM.

Re: Prestige Class Contest Chat Thread I
Still making up my mind on voting.
For next contests i second the idea of a music themed one, and i think it could be fun a contest based on "altruism", classes that focus heavily in helping other classes work better.Awards and prices

Re: Prestige Class Contest Chat Thread I
Traditionally the answer to this question is "Yes", especially since sometimes (often) there are 6 or fewer entries, so anyone who made an entry is forced to vote for the same thing in two places. In fact, 15 is a comically-large number of entries compared to how many we usually get for these.
