Urban Soul

[G3N3R3L GHOST]

Thoughts? Is this a good PrC and what base classes go along quite well with it. I picture this being a sort of "batman" or "Moon-Knight" type character. But I cannot decide if this class is cool for anything more than flavor. If anyone feels the need to put my thoughts on the matter to rest that would be awesome ;)

PrC Tier System (see sig) lists it as Up One, but I didn't do the rating for that particular PrC. You'll have to scour the relevant threads if you want to find the logic there. Still, that's a solid endorsement; it should be quite competent within its area of focus.

It's a mediocre PrC - I guess if your campaign takes place nearly entirely within a metropolis (Menzoberranzean for drow campaigns comes to mind, or Sigil or Ptolus games), then it's a decent enough option for the party's skills-based character (rogue, factotum, maybe urban druid from Dragon magazine, or urban ranger).

Like the thief-acrobat, it trades damage for survivability and mobility options, which is usually not a great trade. The 10th level substitution option is very nice though - you get a lot of benefits for your single city in that 1 level.

That is a very interesting list. Does anyone have any links to these relevant threads or any pro tips of thier own. I have tried searching for things on the urban soul PrC and have not found anything really relevant that I wish to know.

The threads are here, here, and here. There may not be any real analysis in any of those threads; we usually only got discussion when the rating was awkward or when someone challenged it. And I don't remember that one being discussed at any length. I'm AFB though, or I'd have a look myself.

Yeah I can't really find an in depth analysis in those. I know its awesome for flavor. I was thinking maybe doing some sort of urban ranger/scout with swift hunter. But I was wondering maybe if anyone else has played one etc etc. Might as well hear the stories of the collective masses of like minded folks haha
