I'm going to run a game where all the PCs hail from a coastal city. Now, the elders of the city have dealings with sea dwelling eldtritch horrors (water element ethergaunts that are elementals(augmented aberrations)) and some of the population have aberration blood in them (the PCs are among those).
The PCs don't know about any of that yet (and are good aligned), and the elders are sending them against other aberrations at war with the ethergaunts.
The most experienced player in the group knows that his character has aberration blood running in his veins (his character doesn't) and plans to start as a fighting class that gains arcane power either from his blood or from the otherwordly knowledge whispered to him at night by his item familiar. We were thinking about a ranger/sorcerer/impure prince (the fluff is perfect). Impure prince is just 5 levels long, however. So are there any other gish-friendly prestige classes with a lovecraftian/aberration flavor? What we came up with so far is Topaz Guardian if the character stays good or alienist (not a gish, but cool flavor) if he turns bad as the adventure progresses. We are also willing to exchange the base classes if need be. Any sugestions?
