Howdy,

Just thought I would point out that the link for the prestige of the Realms I is no good as far as I can tell, and I would be interested in seeing that if there is a working link available.

Thank

How would you like to get the ideas? I would be interested in the dwarven PrCs – and I have some ideas more. Do you want a PM or do you prefer the discussion here?

Thanks everybody and to those willing to help as editors or with some of the fluff. Alas so far, it appears as though there is less than critical mass of contributors for the project to move forward in full (especially as I to am busy -- wedding planning is well, time consuming --thus the request for assistance). So if you know anyone who wants to help, please send them this way.

In the meantime, let me take another look to see if which are worth posting to this forum as they stand for comment and editing.

Jamallo, regarding your question about the pluma spell. I don't have a strong opinion. I originally felt hishna and pluma should be divine magic, but 2E clearly labeled it as arcane with the Spell Compendiums and as a pseudo bard kit. If it were up to me, I would make them spells for "divine bards" from UA. However, if you keep it as arcane magic, there is no reason, why someone couldn't try to research the spell if they heard of it, though you would certainly be within your DM rights to make it more challenging without a trip to learn from the masters of Maztica.

Class Skills (6 + Int modifier per level): Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Decipher Script (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Gather Information (Cha), Heal (Wis), Knowledge (all skills taken individually) (Int), Listen (Wis), Perform (Cha), Profession (Wis), Sense Motive (Wis), Speak Language (n/a), Spellcraft (Int).

Class Features
Introduction XXXX. All the following are class features of the finder of Finder prestige class.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Finders learn to wield the favored weapon of their god, gaining Martial Weapon Proficiency (bastard sword) and Exotic Weapon Proficiency (bastard sword) as bonus feats. They gain no other weapon, armor, or shield proficiencies. Finders do not like to sacrifice their grace and dexterity by wearing medium and heavy armors, most prefer the chain shirt.
Spellcasting: At each finder of Finder level, you gain new spells per day and an increase in caster level (and spells known, if applicable) as if you had also gained a level in a divine spellcasting class to which you belonged before adding the prestige class level. You do not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. If you had more than one divine spellcasting class before becoming a finder, you must decide to which class to add each level for the purpose of determining spells per day, caster, level, and spells known.
Charismatic Caster (Ex): Finder encourages his faithful to reach deep within themselves for their power. Finders may use their Wisdom or Charisma, whichever is higher, to determine what level of divine spells they can prepare and cast, the DCs of their divine spells, and their bonus divine spells per day.
Comprehend Saurials (Su): Finder believes it crucial that his followers be able to communicate. Non-saurial finders have an innate understanding of the high-frequency dialect of draconic, emotive odors, gestures, and runic writing saurials use to communicate. Saurial finders have a similar understanding of the Common tongue. In neither case does the finder gain the ability to speak in the foreign tongue, just the ability to understand it and write it.
Magic of the bards (Ex): Finder Wyvernspur is enamored with the arcane magic of bards. Finders add spells from the bard spell list as divine spells to their cleric spell list at one level higher, thus a 1st-level bard spell is treated as a 2nd-level cleric spell by finders. In addition, finders count as bards when it comes to using magical items and devices.
Ex-Finders: Like clerics, a finder who grossly violates the dogma of Finder Wyvernspur loses all spells and class features and cannot gains levels as a finder of Finder until he atones (see the atonement spell description on pages 201-202 of the Player’s Handbook).

Adaptation
XXXX Fitting fluff into other ideas and/or campaigns, altering crunch as appropriate

New Feat
Holy Player [General]
Whether it is telling tales around a communal campfire, performing in a sacred chapel, or just embracing your inner nature, your faith has helped you become a consummate performer, capable of adjusting your performance to your audience.
Prerequisites: Divine spellcaster, Charm, Elf, Family, or Moon domain, Charisma 13+.
Benefits: Perform and Sense Motive are always class skills for you.

Credit
Author Thomas M. Costa, based on original material by Eric L. Boyd. The finder originally appeared in Demihuman Deities (1997).

Design Notes
This class is inspired by the specialty priests of Finder Wyvernspur in the 2E Demihuman Deities.
XXXX Easiest way to meet entry requirements.
Note if you were to compare this to gaining additional level of cleric you lose hit points, the stacking on your BAB, Fort save, and Ref save, and a level of turn undead, but gain a higher Will save (which given the character’s likely high Wisdom is somewhat negligible), better skill points (which is nice as a one-shot), charismatic caster (which could easily be a wash or perhaps slightly better), the likely bastard sword proficiency (which is nice), comprehend saurials (which is more flavor than of much practical use), and magic of the bards (which increases the cleric’s versatility and is the crux of the PrC). All in all, it seems pretty balanced. I thought about not giving them the bonus level of spellcasting, but in that case would want to give them higher HD, a good Ref save, a few more skill options, bardic knowledge of some sort (maybe that uses their Perform ranks as a bonus instead level), and/or allow them to stack their turn undead level.
XXXX Where crunch language is adapted from or what it can be compared to and explanations as necessary.
