View Full Version : Any decent homebrew ToB Martial Adept + Caster hybird classes?

I'm looking for classes that combined the Tome of Battle maneuvers and such with arcane caster progression. Jade Phoenix Mage is kind of neat, but I'd like what other concepts people have come up with.

Also the character I have in mind using this for is Lawful Evil, and I found the Ebon Phoenix Mage (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=99636) which will work.

My attempts at trying to find one via Google have come up a bit flat, and most of the homebrew PrC lists from folks don't list what the PrC is, so I've ended up guessing from the names I've been finding (which is how I found EPM there.)

Divine caster +ToB homebrew hybrids would also be nice for reference for future characters.

Actually, now that I think about it, has anyone ever compiled a list of homebrew hybrid classes? As that would be rather useful. I know there is a compendium for homebrew ToB disciplines (several of which I'm using.)

Not casting, but the excellent Ephemeral Blade PrC by our own Eldariel combines Diamond Mind and Psionics, most notably Psychoportation, delightfully.

I will point out my own Seeker of Lost Swords (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=139580) which may be good.

The PRC contests here have had a few hybrid contests. Many were of very high quality. You may want to look at those.

Does it need to be PrCs? There's otherwise always the Battle Psychic (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=80145) (had to check the Homebrew Tier Compendium (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=245701), but still). The PrC Contest has had multiple hybrid contests, so those likely have what you seek for PrCs.

Rather neat, but unfortunately I don't think I'll be running into any NPC adepts any time soon.

Yeah, if one isn't a world with a lot of martial adepts, then the signature class abilities become substantially less helpful.

Edit: Also, you may want to look at the Age of Warriors PrC list here (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aknome3XBfqzdE9HeHVzZnJHNkY3NmNtaHp2ZjBya UE&hl=en#gid=0) which may have stuff you are interested. Two possibly relevant ones are this one (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=90871) and this one (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=5723512).

I'm particularly fond of the Artmage, but it is my work, so take that with a grain of salt.

Artmage actually works very, VERY nicely. :D

...I'm just going to leave that thing alone until I'm not half asleep.

I think any class complicated enough to require the use of a program is a wee bit too complex for lazy ol me.
