Descent of Shadows: Project Shadow Returns

[Xuldarinar]

Good and bad news for Rainbow servant.

The bad


C.Arcane pg. 55. Sadly no. You can select (do not gain automatically) divine spells as mysteries that work like gradeless mysteries. But with no uses per day.
Still getting the ability to cast them from spell completion / trigger items with your shadowcster caster level is comparable to a 4th level vestige, namely karsus.

The good


Same page. Text triumphs table so you get your 9th's just fine.

Well. least theres that. Shame I didn't notice either detail before. Though, now I'm thinking about the interactions with certain other prestige classes, along with how good they could be.

Cultist/Alienist

Cultist/Warlock/Eldritch Disciple

Any Mystery using class with Geomancer

Any Mystery using class with Renegade Mastermaker

Shadowcaster/Mage of the Arcane Order

Shadowcaster/Tainted Scholar

Shadowcaster/Spellsword

Shadowcaster/Warlock/Eldritch Theurge

Shadowcaster/Wild Mage


So, anyone have any idea how well any or all of these would function, assuming they would at all?

Hate to bump this up, as much as I adore this particular homebrew, but I have to bring something up. An inconsistency that needs correcting.


From the cultist's class features:

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: You are proficient with all simple and martial weapons, along with light and medium armor and light shields.

From the feat, Shadowy Combatant:

If you are a cultist, you gain proficiency with medium armor and one exotic weapon of your choice.

As is, all you gain with that feat as a cultist is Exotic Weapon Proficiency. I assume this is a typo and the RaI, and what the RaW of the feat should be is:

If you are a cultist, you gain proficiency with heavy armor and one exotic weapon of your choice.

Or is the wording of the feat correct and are cultists supposed to only have proficiency with light armor?
