*sniffle* Looks like teh Mystic Sword got not-a-one-vote...sad...

[Eurus]

I admit to feeling a combination of pride at having gotten a lot of positive feedback and votes, and disappointment at losing in the end. But, that's how we learn, huh? ^_^ Congratulations, Krimm!

[Lady Tialait]

I feel kinda bad..I lost...badly..not a single vote for my poor mystic sword ....*crys*

*Gives a robot hug to Tialait.*

[Eurus]

Shame I'm not familiar with Incarnum... Ah well, I guess I'm skipping this one.

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

I'm coming up with something as we speak, just milling around ideas in my head for class features...

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

Submitted the Taker of the Damned PrC, just need to tack on more at the end.

[Djinn_in_Tonic]

Will the deadline be extended due to the forum downtime? Because I just found this contest, but I doubt I can whip something decent up in just a day...

Looks like it has been. I can't wait to see the new submissions.

[DracoDei]

The Demented One's submission maybe doesn't quite fit the feel of a world where ressurrection is common... OTOH losing a HD isn't anything to sneeze at. I guess I am saying that an addendum about always having contingency plans to make sure you are returned to life if you die (except if you willingly become an undead of course...) might be appropriate for the first rule of the code.

I think a contingency plan addendum would be appropriate.

The "no magic" rules is annoying...

For once, I had an awesome idea with psionics and all, but it would be illegal.

Curse you, Dan Green! (Dman11235!)

I think you could still do a psionic-using class as long as all the class features were extraordinaries. Am I right on that?

[Guyr Adamantine]

I might have another idea though...

Some kind of Sentai member class.

More to come!

[dman11235]

You could, but it wouldn't exactly be psionic anymore now, would it?

[Guyr Adamantine]

What I'm on is a Sentai (Think Power Rangers, Captain Planet, etc) PrC aimed to bards. It will continue their spellcasting progression, but won't be focused on it.

We Band of Brothers



We few, we happy few...

The contest begins with the posting of this thread and will run through midnight of August 31

Soon after a poll will be opened for everyone to vote for their favorite that will last until midnight of the last day of the month.

Rules

1) You will be creating an 'original' prestige class. Your class will be a master of small conflict tactics, tactical movement, and tactical buffing, as the Marshal, Crusader, and Warblade do for base classes. This cannot be a magical ability, like the bard, it must be mundane. (Emphasis added)

As I understand the D&D rules, extraordinary abilities, although not magical, are also... more than mundane. Are extraordinary abilities banned, or jst spell-like, psi-like, and supernatural ones?

[dman11235]

Mundane in D&D means non-magical. That means no magic, psionics, incarnum, ToM, etc., but (ex) is perfectly fine. I mean, it's what animals get after all.

I won't disqualify it for having a (su) or two, but casting is right out (sorry Guyr! You'll have an option for something like that soon (eventually)). It must focus on using mundane means to buff/BC/etc. All the while being a leader based PrC.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Okay. I'll keep that in mind.

[Guyr Adamantine]

*Checks Bardic Music abilities*

Don't tell me every single ****** of them is supernatural or spell-like?

I'll be weeping in a corner now, thank you.

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

Eeehhh... I think I'll sit this one out.

[dman11235]

You will note Guyr that I did actually call out the Bard as something that would not work for this...

I only realised it later. I guess I'll wait for the next competition... again.

[dman11235]

My next contest will actually have a magical flair to it, maybe then? And for the record, it's been planned for two months now the contests for last month, this month, and the next...3 months, I'm not just doing this for you.

Pfeh! We all know you're here to get me!

No bad feelings here!

[dman11235]

Didn't want to be accused of favoritism. Though I do want to see this PrC. You've been holding it since the first one, right?

Not at all! I prefer spontaneous creation, you see. It was just the most interesting (Read: Stupidest) idea that came during my inner brainstorm.

I'll probably bring it to the boards nonetheless...

[Faithless]

Will submit a prc for the band of brothers.

[Lord Iames Osari]

I have another question. Would be alright if I altered one of my previously-created PrCs to enter into the contest?

I'm thinking of the Ranged Tactician, here. I have some thoughts on a 10-level version, but since it would be based on a previous creation of mine, I thought I'd ask.

[dman11235]

As long as it's your own work, I really don't care. And think about it: would I have known it wasn't new if you hadn't told me?
