Random DM nagging.

[Anastasia]

To be fair, most people pick a single weapon type and stick with it forever. Barring receiving an artifact or something else earth-shaking.

Yeah, that's true and worth considering. There are exceptions (Jaela comes to mind here) but most people stick to one. This class is balanced a bit by making that choice less effective. Not only do you have a penalty, all the goodies of the class are tied to using a scythe.

Let's play a game. Name a concept, mechanic or idea for a PrC. If one catches my attention, I'll work out something with it.

[Ebiris]

Slime/acid/poison.

Oozes!

[Corwin]

I still mostly stick to spears.

Concept, huh. Beam spam!

[Nephrite]

A PrC for shifter-focused Druids that isn't Warshaper.

[Yuthirin]

Eldritch cosmic horrors that we can summon.

Either for combat or tea and biscuits.

[Iron Dragoon]

A useful version of Master of the Unseen Hand.

More seriously, a Salaad focused PrC. Sorta like Druid or Ranger, but for Limbo.

Edit: Maybe not like Druid/Ranger. More like Alienist.

[Anastasia]

Todo: Move Finnegan over.

Slime/acid/poison.

Oozes!

Had a few ideas with oozes but they didn't go anywhere. Will try again tomorrow. Poison's covered well by the poisoner PrC and poisons are built to improve with houserules. Not a lot of design space there, but inspiration might strike.

Closest thing is alienist, which isn't used in campaign due to Far Realm stuff being a way bigger deal than the PrC supposes. Demons can come fairly close to this (obyriths), a PrC centered around them's possible. I have a few ideas for an Ubalukk worshiper prestige class, which might go somewhere.

For the record, a class dealing with summoning the Far Realm wouldn't happen. Managing a single Far Realm summoning is a Big Deal, caps intentional, as it can cause Creation itself to unravel. It's the sort of situation that will see deities intervene in unusually direct manners to stop it, in ways that transcend normal grudges and rivalries. When pulling of a single summoning means a massive response on that scale that ends with Creation's victory of Creation unraveling, there's not much space for a PrC.

Moreover, Beyond creatures break typical rules of D&D and do what they will. The Far Realm inherently disregards rules, as such, game mechanics using them simply aren't viable.

A slaad focused PrC would be about hunger, randomness, chaos and slaad. You'd get a weird PrC though that's likely on purpose. It would have an unusual number of levels and be otherwise highly unorthodox.

That makes me think of ray spam. Spellwarp sniper's a thing already, so it would need to be something more exotic. Hm. A few ideas to work on tomorrow.

A PrC working with shapeshift's possible, didn't you use a custom one for Gildas?

I'll toss these around more tomorrow, see which one has the most legs.

I did. It wasn't bad, but I'm not sure if one that just adds new forms is really the right way to go -- maybe one that has one of its own you can augment via the PrC is the right way to go? I don't know on that one, it's hard to say, since obviously you'd want other classes to benefit, but maybe leaving shapeshifting in the realm of Druids is the better way to think of it.

[Ebiris]

I think Yuth had a shifter PrC for Muirfinn that gave epic forms like his dragon one.

[Anastasia]

New PrC's up in homebrew. It's fairly strong, but balanced by the ew nature of it. Who wants to become a self-harming ooze, anyway? It's mostly meant for worshipers of Juiblex, though any non-good creature can take it if they desire.

Next up are a few epic progressions then I may work on another prestige class idea from the above, assuming I have time before work.

More legs is better. 4, 8, 1000, 100000000 legs is even better.

[Iron Dragoon]

Heads up, I'll be starting a new schedule at work in the next week or two. Message me if you want the schedule, as I don't exactly want to post it online.

Additionally, I should be starting classes at the end of the month, but I haven't figure out my scheduling for that yet.

Note: Whenever you're back in downtime, Sylvie's going to retrain cunning brilliance into the newly posted ACF. Tepen might likewise do a bit of factotum retraining, not sure yet.
