From: "George \"Loki\" Williams" <chaos93@?????????.net> Date: Mon, 22 Mar 2004 09:49:57 -0600 Subject: Re: Prestige Class Rough
I have begun playing with the Class Construction Engine from Shadowcraft
Studios (search google, it is an easily found pdf) and have a rough here of
my first attempt at using it. Please pick this apart mercilessly, as I am
trying to get it down and balanced before developing a series of Prestige
Classes I have in mind.
Be brutal, I am trying to perfect this process and this is my first attempt.
Thanks,
Loki, DM

Class Skills: Decipher Script, Gather Info, Bluff, Diplomacy, All Knowlegde

Seeker's Code- (need some help here. TRying to create a minor code of
behavious geared around information gathering and my inspiration seems to
have fled, ideas are welcome and encouraged)
Bonus Languages: May be chosen from any that the Seeker has either been
exposed to, has access to a teacher for, or can research (DM discretion. I
tend to include the following-Xixchil, Grommish, Gifspeeq, Hadoz, Gnome,
Elven, Orc, Lizardman, Dralasite,Etc)
When In Rome (ex)
At 5th Level the Seeker has been exposed to enough alien cultures that he
gains an intuitive grasp of new situations and mores. These sharpened social
instincts grant a +2 insight bonus to Reaction Rolls, Diploamcy, Sense
Motive, Gather Info, and Bluff when dealing with unfamiliar cultures. This
bonus increases to +3 at seventh level and +4 at Ninth Level.
The Seekers are the information brokers of WildSpace. The Prestige Seeker is
a higher level member of the organisation who has focused exclusively on the
gathering and translating of information from exotic sources. Fabled for
their ability to correlate obscure knowledge with current situations they
are the ultimate reasearchers. Due to the wildly varied spheres and planets
they travel Prestige Seekers gain an uncanny knack for being able to relate
to aliens on their own terms, and are prized on exploratory vessels for
their ability to sidestep misunderstandings in most first contact
situations.
