    Default 3.5 prestige class choices

    I currently play as a Samurai variant. I was just wondering what prestige classes people would recommend.
    I've looked at things like Occult Slayer, Sentinel of Bharrai, Dragon Samurai, and Weapon Master. Just looking for opinions.

    Well, the class seems rather nifty as is, on a quick glance. Iaijutsu Master or Singh Rager (both OA) might also fit.

    Sorry I forgot elaborate on my character. He is essentially a samurai-barbarian, Chaotic Good, met Thor , and has already died once. Also our campaign is rather magic heavy.

    My DM let me come up with my own clan, Bear, which has Barbarian like feats and I am level 5. I don't plan on changing class till between 10 and 13 depending on what I choose.

    These bolded sections tell me you need OCCULT SLAYER.

    Save bonuses and mind blank alone will be huge boons.

    Our main opponent is essentially a DM in game and he likes to summon things that aren't fun for me. There is also some magic goblin that keeps messing with my character.

    What alignment are you? Can you be exalted? Can you get into Fist of Raziel? A permanent Magic Circle Against Evil at all times will go a long way in protecting you from summoned creatures.

    Like I said Chaotic Good. Whatever is accessible in the material plane of "earth" if open game to my understanding.

    Sorry, I missed your second post, my bad. Back to Occult Slayer as my first choice again.

    If you would like to use Occult Slayer, then I would not use the Version that is printed in Complete Warrior. The Author of the PrC intendet it as a 10 Level Prc, but the Editors (or whoever) changed it and made it 5 Levels.

    A version that should be identical with the one the autor originally created is there: http://www.wakinglands.com/htm_files...ult_slayer.htm

    My DM actually showed me that version of the Occult Slayer.

    Then you've got a nice DM : ) I like this version much more than the printed one.
