I figured I'd go ahead and make this a topic, so others that weren't reading the Bard topic could get involved.


Here is the class, I have written, with a 3.5 write up.

Scarlet Mummer

The Scarlet Mummer is an elite group of holy warriors who follow the goddess Lliira. They were created after the times of troubles to avenge the murder of Selgaunt's High Revelistress Chlanna Asjros (whom Lliirra had taken as a lover while in mortal form during the Time of Troubles) by members of a cult of Loviatar. This greatly affected the Lady of Joy, as a responce the order was formed to end the cruelty and suffering caused by the churt of Loviatar, the greatest enemy of Joy.

The class is most readily pursued by Bards, especially divine bards, or multiclassed Bards; however, the class is also pursued by multiclass Paladines of Freedom/Rogues, Cleric's of Lliira/Rogues and Rangers/Rogues.

It's basically the assassin class with full spellcasting thrown in plus some bonus feats. Hmmm. I suppose it's reasonable for a bard.

What is it about the Scarlet Mummers are you trying to capture with this class? It just doesn't feel unique enough to me (IMO/YMMV) to justify a 10-level prestige class.
