Alright, so as I noted in a thread in the Forgotten Realms General Discussion board, there have been a number of specialty priests listed in the 2nd Edition deity sourcebooks (Faiths & Avatars, Powers and Pantheons, Demihuman Deities) that have been converted into Prestige Classes for 3.X Edition.
Me, in my considerate wisdom, decided long ago to try and fill in the gaps left for this, namely for players that may intend to use such in their campaigns. Recently, I recovered an old file of mine containing such, so here I go.
First off, my original creation that I posted on the Wizards of the Coast board under my alias Mad Mage (long story).
Lorekeeper
Hit Die: d8
Requirements
To qualify to become a Lorekeeper, a character must meet the following requirements.
Skills: Any two Knowledge skills 8 ranks.
Feats: Improved Unarmed Strike, Skill Focus for either corresponding Knowledge skill.
Deity: Oghma
Spellcasting: Able to cast 3rd-level divine spells. Must be able to cast spells from the Knowledge domain.
Special: Must have visited a holy site of Oghma and researched a new alchemical, magical, or philosophical subject while they were there for one fortnight.
Class Skills
Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Decipher Script (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Knowledge (Arcana) (Int), Escape Artist (Dex), Knowledge (Architecture and Engineering) (Int), Knowledge (Dungeoneering) (Int), Knowledge (Geography) (Int), Knowledge (History) (Int), Knowledge (Local) (Int), Knowledge (Nature) (Int), Knowledge (Nobility and Royalty) (Int), Knowledge (Religion) (Int), Knowledge (The Planes) (Int), Profession (Wis), Spellcraft (Int)
Skill Points at each level: 6 + Int modifier
Class Features
Weapon and Armor Proficiencies: A Lorekeeper does not gain any proficiencies with weapons or armor.
Base Attack Bonus: As the Cleric class.
Saving Throw Progression: As the Cleric class.
Spellcasting: +1 level of divine spellcasting class each level.
Clever Wrestling: You gain the Clever Wrestling feat (Complete Warrior) at 1st level.
Masterfully Learned (Ex): At 2nd level and every 2 levels afterward (4th, 6th, 8th, and 10th), a Lorekeeper gains a +2 divine bonus to all Knowledge checks that they are trained in, to a total of +10 on such a check.
Identify (Sp): At 3rd level, a Lorekeeper can cast Identify as a spell-like ability once per day.
Charm Monster (Sp): At 5th level, a Lorekeeper can cast Charm Monster as a spell-like ability once per day.
Mass Charm Monster (Sp): At 7th level, a Lorekeeper can cast Mass Charm Monster as a spell-like ability once per day.
Legend Lore (Sp): At 10th level, a Lorekeeper can cast Legend Lore as a spell-like ability once per tenday.
And here's another I finished just now.
Watcher
Hit Die: d8
Requirements
To qualify to become a Watcher, a character must meet the following requirements.
Skills: Concentration 4 ranks, Listen 2 ranks, Spot 2 ranks
Feats: Alertness, Improved Initiative

A Watcher also is proficient with bucklers, light shields, and heavy shields, but not tower shields. Finally, Watchers automatically gain proficiency with bastard swords if they have not already.
Base Attack bonus: As the Cleric class.
Saving Throw Progression: As the Cleric class.
Spellcasting: +1 level of divine spellcasting at all levels but 2nd and 6th.
Uncanny Dodge (Ex): At 1st level, a Watcher gains the Uncanny Dodge class feature. This ability functions like the extraordinary ability of the barbarian and rogue classes. If the Watcher has levels in other classes that permit Uncanny Dodge, then the Watcher gains Improved Uncanny Dodge instead.

Alignment: Any good

Feat: Improved Turning, Initiate of Lathander
Domain: Access to the Sun domain
Spells: Able to cast 3rd-level divine spells
Skills: Craft (any) or Perform (any) 4 ranks, Knowledge (religion) 8 ranks, Diplomacy 8
Would you allow a lawful good worshipper of Amaunator to join with Servant of the Fallen feat instead of Initiate of Lathander?
This class sounds intriguing if it were instituted after the Everlasting Sun appeared over Elversult. I think of this prestige class as a hint from Lathander about his relationship with Amaunator.
Oh heck yes!! That would be pretty cool, not to mention that they would take the time to grab feats like Servant of the Fallen. |

So far I like them all, only issue I see is the Vow of Safety for Magistrati. Azuth seems more practical than this to me and would understand the dangers of battle...but I do think I get where you're coming from with it. The careful use of magic yes?
@Copper Elven Vampire: I like your Mischiefmaker (and the ability of False Thuergy).
Now onto the Heralds thread... |

Lathander’s Blessing: Champion of the Dawn class levels stack with levels in cleric for spells gained each level, divine feat progression, and turning checks.
Radiance (Ex): When a Champion of the Dawn casts any spell with the light descriptor, the radius of its illumination is doubled and the spell is treated as though it were one level higher for the all purposes, including determining whether it can counter or dispel a spell with the darkness descriptor.
Bane of the Restless (Su): A Champion of the Dawn receives a divine bonus to his saves against spells from the necromancy school and any energy damaging attacks from undead creatures.
Resistance to Fire (Ex): Your link to the sun gives you increasing resistance to its fire.
Cleansing Dawn (Sp): When a Champion of the Dawn calls upon his god to smite undead foes through a spell with the light or fire descriptors, he can choose to cast that spell as though it had the Empower Spell feat. This ability does not change the effective level of the spell and can only be used against undead creatures.
Blessing of First Light (Su): Champions of the Dawn are blessed by the youthful spirit of Lathander and his powers of rejuvenation. At 4th level, a Champion of Dawn becomes immune to fatigue or exhaustion.
Rejuvenation Domain: At 6th level , a Champion of the Dawn gains access to the Rejuvenation Domain and it’s given power.
Solar Flare (Sp): The light of the sun carries with a burning fury that can be unleashed upon nearby foes. Once per day a Champion of the Dawn can spend four turning attempts to channel positive energy that blesses his attacks and damages his enemies. For the duration of this ability, his weapon is treated as though it had the Holy property in addition to any it already has. In addition, the Champion of the Dawn glows with a radius of 40 feet that sears nearby undead enemies for 1d6 points of fire damage per 2 levels of Champion of the Dawn. The ability lasts for a number of rounds equal to the Champion’s charisma modifier.
Sunform (Sp): Upon reaching 10th level, you gain the ability to become an insubstantial ball of bright, glowing light the size of a Medium creature. This effect is identical to that of the gaseous form spell, except as follows. In sunform you radiate daylight as the spell, gain a fly speed of 120 feet(perfect), and have immunity to fire, light, and air effects. In addition, you gain a melee touch attack that deals 6d6 points of fire damage. You remain in sunform for up to 10 rounds. Sunform is the equivalent of an 8th-level spell that is usable once per day.

The Mischiefmaker (specialty cleric of Erevan Ilesere)
The Mischiefmaker represents all that is chaotic and free. They bring change and excitement where ever they go be it for good or ill. They live on the edge in a constant state of self-reinvention. They thrive to puncture the self-righteousness, sanctimony, and pretension that pervades orderly society with mischievous pranks that both amuse and enlighten. They enjoy causing trouble for its own sake and have the ability to take care of themselves should a prank prove to be deadly or go awry. Most Mischiefmakers are Moon or Copper elves, but even Gold, Wild and Star elves take this class when the call of Erevan sings strongly in their hearts. Most Mischiefmakers are famous or infamous Rogue/Clerics in the favor of Erevan Ilesere and serve as his mortal right-hand. They are deadly-romantic in their charm and subtlety of skill. Brave and yet flighty. They are champions of trickery and modest in ability. To underestimate a Mischiefmaker is to court the surety of becoming the victim to an amusing, well thought, elaborate hoax that could end up costing you and being at your cost.
Hit Die: d6.
Requirements: To qualify to become a Mischiefmaker, a character must fulfill all the following criteria.
Race: Character must be a Elf or Half Elf.
Skills: Knowledge (religion) 6 ranks, Disguise 5 ranks, Disable device 6 ranks, Bluff 6 ranks, Hide 6 ranks, Move silently 6 ranks, sleight of hand 5 ranks.

Spells per day: A Mischiefmaker's training focuses on divine magic. Thus, when a character gains a new level of MP, she gains new spells per day as if she also gained a level in whatever spellcasting class she belonged to before she added the prestige class. She does not however gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained.
Mock Law: At 1'st level the MM gains a +2 divine bonus on saving throws against any spell with the law descriptor, as well as the spell-like or supernatural abilities of outsiders.

False Theurgy: At 2'nd level, as a swift action when casting a spell, you can adjust the verbal and somatic components to mimic those of another spell of your choice of the same level. Any creature using spellcraft to identify the spell, believes it to be the other spell instead. This trick renders your spell immune to the normal method of counterspelling.
Erevan's Fortune: at 2'nd level, one time a day, the MM can reroll a Disable device, Sleight of hand and Open lock check. She may also reroll an Initiative check once per day, as well as reroll a Caster Level check once per day.

The MM adopts the form of the creature, gaining all of that forms abilities. The MM also adopts all that forms weaknesses as well. The MM can change form as many times as desired, within the duration of the spell. The MM may turn into a sprite and fly away and then turn into a nixie and dive into a lake. The first form adopted has one-quarter of the hit points of the MM. Subsequent forms carry the current total hit points with them until the original form is resumed. Each alteration in form takes only 1 second. This ability can be used once a day, and lasts as many rounds equal to your total character level + your Wisdom modifier. This ability is a standard action.
(All spell-like abilities are cast at total character caster level)
