Re: GitP PrC Contest XXII: Voting Thread!
... This isn't even fair. This is cruel. This is a new low in torture. Forcing me to just pick one of these prestige classes. That's just sick, man. That's just sick. Ultimately, it came down VT's Monstrumologist, but I don't want anyone, -anyone- to think that their stuff wasn't great. Especially you, Meph and Unasorta. You two went the extra mile on your stuff, and deserve a lot of credit for it. Though I won't lie that Cidolfas and Hyuuz had me there for a sec. I have a weakness for The Slender Man, after all.

Re: GitP PrC Contest XXII: Voting Thread!
Though its not the strongest here, I think of all I read through The Slender-Touched fascinated me the most. Has some very unique abilities without needing a high attack or caster levels.
However, this is the last Slenderman creation I vote for, capiche?
A lot of others were very interesting, and all pretty awesome, but aberrations or fey will generally win over fiendish creatures with me 90% of the time.Last edited by The Vorpal Tribble; 2010-10-22 at 02:15 PM.

Re: GitP PrC Contest XXII: Voting Thread!
Augh, that was really hard. I had to go with the Monstrumologist in the end, but holy crap, I want to play a party of just these classes.
Also; this is the fourth time today that someone has misspelled my username as Unasorta.
It happened in the poll as well as in the class listing, as well as in a campaign I am in.
Are they really that similar?

Re: GitP PrC Contest XXII: Voting Thread!
Woot, I have a vote! This was all I could (reasonably) hope for this first time entering into this contest, but I'm still very glad.
My own vote went to Unosorta's Cabalist of the Heinous Realms, because making deals with devils in a way that is much more beneficial to you is a good idea - and I could still do it while True Neutral! Also, the artist and the artwork chosen fit well and are amazing. Now I have to go watch his work.

Re: GitP PrC Contest XXII: Voting Thread!
While I didn't participate in this one because the theme doesn't agree with me and because I need time to work on my own thing. I must admit that they're was some very impressive work in this contest.
Three prc in particular capture my interest the Wielder of fallen souls, the Monstrumologist and the Tomebinder Librarian. But for the last two I fear that they may be overpowered or too easy to abuse. In addition I simply love incarnum and the Wielder flavor is great.
My vote go to the Wielder of Fallen Souls by Mephibosheth.Latest homebrew: The Avatars of Magic, powerful monster each dedicated to ne school of magic.

Re: GitP PrC Contest XXII: Voting Thread!
Nothing in particular, it's just the fact of aquiring spell-like ability that have me worried, you limit the level so that's good but you can have as many as you want and you may end up with numerous spell-like ability for all situation a little like a wizard who cast spontaneously from his entiere spellbook (max 3/day each if you take the effort of finding three specimen). Wait... "go to reread the description"
Ah, yes finally I may have found a loophole, you have a max of 3/day for each identital spell-like ability from the same creature. But if you find another creature with the same spell-like ability you can gain 3 more uses.
Still it's awesome work and I really hesitate but I love incarnum and the wielder is really good too.Latest homebrew: The Avatars of Magic, powerful monster each dedicated to ne school of magic.

Re: GitP PrC Contest XXII: Voting Thread!
Actually, I made over 4 builds as an exercise to combat other example NPCs and hardly any really ended up having many abilities.
If you're good-aligned vivisection on sentient creatures is a no-no. As such you have to wait until 10th level to clone one. If you're evil its a bit easier, but here's the balancing factor. You have to capture it and then keep it helpless for at an hour plus 10 mins per spell level. Creatures with high leveled spell-like abilities aren't easy to capture and keep quiet for that long. Then you just get one ability. That is likely to be a large expenditure of resources, time and effort to gain a single spell-like.
Ah, yes finally I may have found a loophole, you have a max of 3/day for each identital spell-like ability from the same creature. But if you find another creature with the same spell-like ability you can gain 3 more uses.
Changed it to "If you vivisect 'another creature' with the same ability".
So now no spell-like can be used more than 3 times no matter how many creatures you cut into, regardless of race, sex, color or creed.Last edited by The Vorpal Tribble; 2010-10-23 at 11:30 AM.

Re: GitP PrC Contest XXII: Voting Thread!
True.
1st: You can't gain it from the same creature. Specifically says you can't just keep re-vivisecting the same creature. From the wording you could skew it to mean you can get up to 3/day per race. That's not likely to begin with however. The word 'race' was supposed to be an example.
Changed it to "If you vivisect 'another creature' with the same ability".

I'm still a little conserned by the powwible versatility particulary if you begin play at high level but it's the job of the Dm to make sure that the player don't abuse it.Latest homebrew: The Avatars of Magic, powerful monster each dedicated to ne school of magic.

Re: GitP PrC Contest XXII: Voting Thread!
DeviantART certainly is great. It's the first place I go to to look for appropriate pictures. Of course, always crediting the creator of the work. I actually also looked through the artists whose work was used in this contest, but besides Wen-JR (whose work was used... twice? Thrice?) the one you used was the only one with consistently good works that I liked. Coincedence or not, you made a good find.
It would all depend on what creatures the campaign setting they're used in have, really.
The Tomebinder Librarian basically has a built-in Polymorph and Control Undead, but more limited, but on the other hand they can gain SLAs and SU abilities. I admit that the Spelltome option of Bookwise is real strong though. Perhaps I should go over that again and put a small extra limit on it. I thought most of it had been worked out well enough though.

Re: GitP PrC Contest XXII: Voting Thread!
I liked a lot of the classes, but in the end I thought that the Cabalist of the Heinous Realms was a beautifully written prestige class, filled with flavor and excellent, appropriate mechanics. I tip my hat to you, sir, and grant you my vote in the contest.

Re: GitP PrC Contest XXII: Voting Thread!
I posted it, actually. If ErrantX is ok with someone changing their vote, I believe I can alter the votes manually. MoleMage will still show up as voting for his original selection, but that will have 1 less vote and the other will have an additional vote. In theory, at least, I'm not entirely sure how it works as I've never done it before.
“Sometimes, immersed in his books, there would come to him
the awareness of all that he did not know, of all that he had not read;
and the serenity for which he labored was shattered as he realized the
little time he had in life to read so much, to learn what he had to know.”
