GitP Prestige Class Contest Chat Thread

[Thurbane]

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

Indeed it is...I should have adjusted my bifocals.

[Voodzik]

Does the DIETY have to be yours/DnD? 'cus I have a pretty sweet idea for a PrC using "The Drowned God" from George RR Martin's "Song of Ice and Fire," but if non original/dnd verse gods are a no-go then I'll sit on it for now.

[Blue Ghost]

Would a PrC devoted to Asmodeus be admissible? Barring that, what about the Forgotten Realms god Cyric in a non-FR setting? I have a great idea for a Deceiver PrC (a character dedicated to the spread of heresy and corruption), but I can't find a deity in the standard pantheon that's the right fit for it.

[Saint Nil]

Are we restricted to which Diety we can use?

[thegurullamen]

I don't see any problems with either of your issues, Saint Nil and blue_ghost. Hell, I made my deity up, so I'm sure both of yours would count.

[dman11235]

Yeah, as long as it's a deity it really doesn't matter. You'll note that this contest is not setting specific. Just note that if you choose a deity that no one has ever heard of you might not be a good choice in their eyes

[Vaynor]

Ok I'm working on my entry now, it should be done in a few days. My idea so far is a kind of missionary that will stop at no cost to convert anyone of a differing faith, even if it's against their will.

I'm making up a deity, but I think I'm fleshing him out well enough that it shouldn't be a problem.

Edit: Submission is up, and done as far as I can tell. Can anyone see any balance problems with it? I'm not sure if the DCs for its conversion abilities are too high/low.

[Blue Ghost]

My Deceiver of Asmodeus PrC is almost done. I promise you'll like it!

EDIT: Yayy! Finally done! Do you like it?

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

I just realized I havn't been keeping track of this. I have a PrC with all the crunchy-bits done, I can still enter, right?

Deadline's Tuesday I believe.

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

Posted the vua-xuu q'R'lyeh.

[dman11235]

Uhhhh.....I don't think I ended it on Tuesday, it should have ended last night at midnight. Unless I messed up. Again.

Curses. I messed up. Again. Why did I fall off the norm yet again? Yes Krimm, yours is in. I need to now undo all that work.

[The Demented One]

Ragged Priest is up, based on a very interesting AIM conversation with Krimm.

[thegurullamen]

On a dark and stormy night...

[noir]Thought I had a chance until he walked through the door. He looked like a demented David Tennant-knockoff from some cheesy sci-fi show. A closer look at his car told me he was trouble. Two door, cobalt blue police boxes mean money and money don't come by these parts unless it's trouble they're in. Or trouble they're after.

He strolled in like he owned the place and no one's to say he didn't. 'Keep poured him a drink which was fine by me. Anything to keep his eyes off'a me was better than the alternative. But something about the way he held his drink, the way his fingers tapped on the counter told me things were about to get interesting.

I tried to edge my way out, escape unseen, but it was too late.

"Ragged Priest is up, based on a very interesting AIM conversation with Krimm."

Damn him. All is lost.

(gunfire)

[dman11235]

I should clarify the current contest. It's not requiring an NPC class as a prereq, but the PrC you design will be more.....un-heroic....than normal ones. Like making a lumberjack PrC....so they can lumber better. Or sports. Or teaching. That sort of thing. Meant for NPCs, not PCs.

[Lord_Gareth]

^_^ Well, maybe, maybe not. I, personally, am a fan of the "common man" becoming more heroic.

[Lord_Gareth]

The crunch for Spook is up - check it out! Fluff to be finished later.

[Xallace]

Posted the "Angry Mob Rioter."
That was way fun to make.

And... wait... Gareth? From the WotC boards? Is that the same you?

[Lord_Gareth]

Yes, yes it is. Do I know you?

[Xallace]

You might recall the username of "Wall?"

[Lord_Gareth]

Vaguely; I think he was a pretty cool guy.

[Xallace]

Always good to feel remembered, even if only vaguely. Too bad our big "Chosen of the Masks" project never really took off... I think people lost interest in it after the "Master of Masks" came out in Complete Scoundrel... ah well.

And for the rest of the peoples reading, I updated the Angry Mob Rioter slightly; forgot to put in the effects of the Rioter getting shot down before his mob dispersed... I dunno, I may have to tweak that some more even now.

[Lord_Gareth]

Yeah, that is a shame.

Can I get some comments on my Spook? I may end up submitting it to a campaign or two >.<

[Mr.Bookworm]

Yeah, that is a shame.

I skimmed it, and it looks pretty good.

Though a bit sadistic.

The Chicken Warrior is up, and I'll finish it up tonight and tomorrow.

[Xallace]

Dark. And Creepy. And Dark.
It gives me the feel of a violent street gang. Like those guys who spin you around on your tavern stool to face them and tell you "This is our turf" before beating you up and leaving you in the alley way. No far reaching schemes or anything. Oh, and the whole thing takes place in Ravenloft.

It's almost like the anti-social rogue. The abilities allow a little extra strategizing against humanoids and the like. Which fits the flavor, and was your intention. But Undead, Contructs, Oozes... you're still not going to be too effective against them at all, just like rogues.

I didn't look too hard at the mechanics otherwise (yet), but it looks solidly balanced against the rogue and other sneaky classes.

[Owrtho]

Hmmm, I'm thinking I might want to try making a master of blackmail type class for this. What do you other people think?

Sounds like a fun idea if you can figure out how to do it. Lots of Gather Info and Intimidate bonuses?

[Lord_Gareth]

Thank'ee for the flavor comments; that was indeed the fluff I was aiming for. Got anything I could improve on the crunch?

[Mr.Bookworm]

I would personally raise the skill points to 6+Int, and raise the HD to d6.

But that might just be me.

[Lord_Gareth]

Both are artificially low, since this is an NPC-PrC
