Prestiges Classes

Post by Rary »

Wanted to know if increasing there max levels is a good idea or not.

Basically allowing some or all to get to level 20. Obviously they can't get to 20, but I know some can get higher than 10 and harpers can get higher than 5.

For most of them increasing levels higher might add some new abilities, but could also increase DC's for whatever specials they have. what is balance of course.

As long as this doesn't allow them to gain there epic level bonus feats then sure. Just keep in mind what they gain as they get higher levels.

AA's gain +1 ab every 2 or 3 levels past 10, I forget which.
WM's gain +1 ab every 5 levels after 10
PM gains +2 ac every 4 levels and a better summon I think
Assassins gain +1 to there dc every level after and more sneaks
Shifters "could" gain undead form...which might not be a bad thing if that scythe gets a hit.

You can't take epic prestige till your total level is 21.

This restriction is stripable.

It would make taking sin much more appealable for the higher DC.

but you could get the 11d6 sneaks as a ranger sin then, which would make the class even more overpowered.

Well duh. If you let prestiges become epic, they are going to be more powerful.

11d6 sneaks only comes from 19 rouge and 1 sin or 9 sin and 11 rogue.

All prestige classes except harper are epic past level 10 according to the 2DA files. What does this mean, who knows, prolly only means that you can't take them until you're level 21. But what I see they don't get much more feats, just DC increases.

Anyways a 4 ranger/13 sin/3 rogue will get same AB and sneak attack as a 4 ranger/16 rog more or less. Assassin would just get more DC for paralysis. Rogues get the special feats after lvl 10.

Well, if no epic feats are rewarded.. then they wouldn't get any extra feats.. except for CoT which is awarded feats per 2nd level.

I'd definatly use it to make a high level sin for more duration on spells and DC.

Well, one catch.. should probably halt level restriction for our 'epic' prestige classes after 11, so they could get +10 level restriction max. That is, if there's the possibility of them becoming too strong.

All prestiges are cap'd at level 10 right now, but I can uncap them to 20. After finding out last night that I can take feats away as well, this can be done if needed.
