This character has hit the level 10 mark and still the option for a prestige class that would have good synergy with the concept escapes me. I thought about giving him Knight of the Raven for turning capability, but like I said I am unsure of what to do with this character. Even if I had to retrain some skills or swap a feat, what PRC would you choose if any and how would you take this class to level 20 and beyond as there is possibility for epic levels.
Background: The Goliath in the party is the chosen one of Kossuth. His purpose is to act as one of the diety's primary instruments of destruction. He is young, but travelling with his capable new 'clan' he is maturing every day.
Concept: Create an absolute instrument of destruction that is also able to buff, heal the party, and provide other neat abilities to the table from Kossuth. Takes full advantage of spells and abilities based on size. Is a spiked chain focused warrior and favored soul.
Rules: Allowed to take 2 classes, plus 1 prestige class. Short list PRCs like exotic weapons master don't count towards the limit. One base class must always be taken. In this case, he chose Favored Soul as that class. Thusfar skill tricks aren't allowed. Heroes of Horror and Book of Vile Deeds are banned. Other books are allowed on a DM approval basis. Characters allowed 2 free skillpoints per level based on activities they were doing. Learning a new language would cost two skill points for example. Character is allowed to retrain skills, feats, spells, or abilities as they make sense.
