GitP Prestige Class Contest Chat Thread

[Lord Iames Osari]

*shrug* And I see I was getting confused with the Monster contest. This one doesn't have a "new content" rule. Excellent.

[Stycotl]

As long as it's your own work, I really don't care. And think about it: would I have known it wasn't new if you hadn't told me?

it would depend on how closely you decide to read his signature.

[dman11235]

If you have a PrC that's been made before, but hasn't been recognized, this contest could be a way to get it recognized. I feel that's a good thing. Gets the good homebrews out there. And since this contest hasn't been around as long as the monster one, people are more likely to have made PrCs and not have anything left in them for that specific contest. This allows more good entries into it, making for a better contest. As long as you don't abuse it.

Edit:
-capstone ability good enough?
-stance good enough?
-fluff text understandable?
-warrior’s path and fury clear enough?
-stackable bonuses to ability scores are not much in and of themselves, but too much if combined with barbarian, or another rage-similar class?
-anything else?
-still looking for a good illustration. if anyone has one in mind, i'd consider it.

aaron out.

[Lord Iames Osari]

There, I've finished the Ranged Tactician (10-level version).

[Lappy9000]

I must say, the Evil Overlord is one of the most awesomenest things I've seen in a long time

[Eurus]

I quite agree. I think I'm going to try to submit one again myself, but I think I'll probably still end up voting for the Overlord.

[dman11235]

So...it's been brought to my attention that I made a typo on the deadline date. It should have been last night at midnight, but I typed '31st' instead of '21st' This is a cross-post of that thread, did anyone not get to enter because of that typo? As in, did anyone plan to enter after yesterday, but before the 31st?

[Jaerc]

I did and if possible still do.

[dman11235]

When can you get it up by? I'd like to start back on track ASAP (this actually goes back to when the boards crashed for 10 days, we're still a bit off-schedule).

[Jaerc]

It will be done tonight. But I can understand if you'd rather I not hold things back.

[dman11235]

It's open until tonight then.

[Jaerc]

Sorry about my lack of as promised posting and thus the effect hanging things up. I unexpectedly lost Internet. Obviously it's back.

[Icewalker]

Wow, unswerving religion PrC contest thread...

I'm gonna have to go throw some flavor and a little fixing back on my old Zealot class. Hoorah cleansing fire!

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

I've already got a couple PrC's I can put into this...

[Guyr Adamantine]

Ah come on! Where is the fun in putting an old PrC?

I call dibs on this six armed gentleman.

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

Ah come on! Where is the fun in putting an old PrC?

Ahha... who said it's one I've shown to anyone else before? It'll be new to everyone but me.

[ErrantX]

Hmmm... question on the new contest:

Assuming that you're familiar with Eberron to a moderate extent, how would you feel about an entry based on the Valenar elves and their ancestor worship of the heroes of their past?

-X

[dman11235]

I will answer your question with a question: are they deities? That's the requirement.

[ErrantX]

Technically one's shoe in Eberron could be a deity, but that's not the point. Take a look at this Dragonshard article and let me know.

Specifically, look at the 2nd article as it has something on Valenar religion known as the Spirits of the Past, and it's followers are known as the Keepers of the Past.

Or... for this competition would you prefer something less setting specific?

-X

[Zak Crimsonleaf]

I'm interested. The last two contests were a little out of my league (I dislike psionics and don't quite understand Incarnum), but this one looks promising. I think I'll put in a Cleansing Wind of Akadi, the goddess of elemental air. They ought to have some neat abilities. Or if nothing else, the name sounds cool, I thought.

I'm not a big fan of settings (I like to have home-brewed ones: more fun), so I'm not familiar with the workings of Eberron. I do know that in Eberron, the only requirement for deity-hood is being worshiped, right? And these elves are worshiped? So then they meet the requirements. I think I know where you're going though....the elves that guide the younger generation give you actual bonuses? Or Keepers of the Pst? Should be fine. As long as it focuses on revering a deity, using any sense of the word.

[Owrtho]

Could it be a theoretical deityish thing with a likely small cult of believers and an even smaller group of the truely devout?

More specificly could it be the overpowing belief in a suposed void outside of which nothing exists and inside wich nothing exists meaning all existance is infact an illusion (according to those who believe this)?

Owrtho

[dman11235]

The purpose of this contest is to get something like Radiant Servant of Pelor, RKV, etc, so that should be fine, as long as it's a deity to them.

[Owrtho]

Well I put up a basic version of a prc I came up with. Still probly needs some work though. Any tips would be welcome. Anyways, I always thought it would be fun to have a class that could so completly denie reality it actualy worked for them.

Owrtho

[Xallace]

I have entered The Eternal Explorer of Fharhg... Fharlo... The Walking Dude.
May need some tweaking, it's off the top of my head.

[Zak Crimsonleaf]

Added the Windwarrior of Akadi. I don't have much experience at prestige class design, so I imagine it will need some serious modification. But I did come up with a few interesting abilities.

[Thurbane]

When does the current comp close? I'd like to enter, but I need a little time to finish off my PrC.

[dman11235]

Should be answered in the first few lines of the contest.

[Icewalker]

Well, as there's still 2 weeks, I'll try to get around to adding fluff to my Zealot. I think it was pretty much all crunch when I posted it.
