So I've made a (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?426168-Blazing-Champion-Prestige-Class&p=19498639#post19498639) few (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?409698-Dueling-Master-Prestige-Class) prestige (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?409635-Two-Weapon-Master-Prestige-Class-PEACH) classes (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?409657-Protection-Master-Prestige-Class), and I'm wondering what I should make next.

Any suggestions from the Playground?

I think this version has enough flexibility within each class chassis, that I don't think proper prestige classes are called for. Rather, I'd go for a list of alternate class features (some for the base classes and some for the Archetype features) which shift the theme of a character to match something a bit different. Some of them could even have some prerequisites.

Frostrager and Iron Heart?

I have a vague idea on the latter. None on the former. Scrolled Wikipedia

frost ranger, should just be a barbarian capable of doing elemental damage of its choice or alligence to one of the elemental evils/goodies that grant it the abilty no logical reason to lock it into just frost damage. Let the player pick what elemental damage type to do that day or year.


Iron heart is harder, that is just a collection of more battlemaster abilties, which would be very hard to balance. I would make it more a counter fighter.

A prestige class anyone can access, like Harper, purple dragon, etc It allows characters to continue to advance in their class, but they lose what they would gain that level in replace of. Like if you're a champion and at 9th you get reliable talent, you'd lose that for the first level benefit of Harper if you took Harper instead of 9th level. But doesn't stop your classes progression, so at 11 the level fighter or 9/2 would still get his 3rd attack.

All right now that is a hot mess, just wear gloves as you fix it.

Frostrager (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?426273-Frostrager-Prestige-Class&p=19501072#post19501072) is done.

Can I have a link to Iron Heart? I couldn't find it with google.

I'm not sure what people want, cause we have archetypes. And I'm unsure of multiclassing applying to this. But let's say you want a dragonslayer, any class could become this with certain prerequisites. If paladin took this at say level 10. He'd still progress as a paladin, but 11th level radiant damage may be turned into dragon damage. Something like that. So you're still a paladin, but now a dragonslayer as well. I'm trying to not limit class involvement. A battle master would get at 10th level, maneuvers suited to dragon slaying he could take instead of the ones listed.
