The Banetouched are an elite group of Lolth(Lloth) Worshippers, though far too original to be called a cleric. While the Banetouched are composed mostly of Drow, Halfdrow, and the occasional Half-Elf as well, every so often another race may come along, though, it's quite rare, concidering so few are allowed into the group.
They use a mix of Arcane and Divine magic, as well as elite fighting techniques with the Whip and Dagger being simultaniously weilded, though they are masters of many other weapons as well. Few Banetouched are ever caught in a fight, concidering most of them have the perfect charisma to attract who they need to and oppose the rest.
While the Banetouched may take on any animal companion, and eventually a familiar, Due to their Deity, most all of them choose the spider at 4th level, make it a familiar at 9th level, and then cast giant vermin on them whenever necissary.
Some Banetouched Drow/Half-Drow choose to take the test of Lloth and purposely fail it to become a drider. Banetouched concider it a complete honor to be made into the likeness of their goddess, and they feel that the drow that do not feel this way, are ignorant, and very closed-minded.

Roll on the following table at the beginning of each subject’s turn each round to see what the subject does in that round.
d% Behavior

Any confused character who is attacked automatically attacks its attackers on its next turn, as long as it is still confused when its turn comes.

Archmagi1976
04-15-06, 01:58 AM I do not forsee any problems with this class yet, I have yet to really go through it but once you are done with this I would love to talk to you about some ideas I would like to possibly work out with you.
Zareneth
04-15-06, 02:37 AM Well, feel free to PM me..On second thought, I'll PM you. Ideas and Criticism are greatly appreciated, so, yeah, anyone feel free. If i see anything wrong with it, is it may be a bit overpowered for a core class.
Archmagi1976
04-15-06, 02:49 AM After taking more time to go through the class, hey anything to get out of the work ahead since it is a friday. :D The skill points need to be all together, I do not see any other class with two different progressions in skills as it grows in level. 4+int at first then 2+int?

Second, you have made the shadowcasting ability seems a little too powerful in my eyes. That is like giving someone the warlock ability on top of a 9 level spell list. If you want to keep that, and the good hit die, and the full base attack, ect...

I would cut the HD down to D6 honestly... If you keep the Shadowcasting, then bring the full casting down too 6th level with 1/2 base attack progression, or down to 4th with 3/4ths base attack progression.

On a side note... How does this shadowcasting (damage spell) work? It is a basic touch attack? I can understand why you like the class, it has great merrit, but it seems to want to fulfill the whole parties requirements in one on top of the armor proficiency.
Zareneth
04-15-06, 03:02 AM It's like, a projectile. Look at the crawling darkness spell and imagine something like that in the shape of a javelin, sort of. Well, i think i've fixed some of it.
Archmagi1976
04-15-06, 03:05 AM Does it use the spell progression table like a spell? Or is this something done at will? If it is at will, then it is a very powerful spell like ability. Please understand, this is no way ment in any disrespect for the class it's self. I find my self trying to work and keep coming back to it to look at it for possible ideas. It mixes just the right amount of Evil, Darkness and just being plain wrong, and I love that. :plotting: :evillaugh :devil:

It works so well together. But it does seem to scream to me what is this class trying to do? If you are looking for more of an arcane version of the cleric, then I think it is an interesting idea. Truely I do...
eeen13
04-15-06, 09:29 AM I only skimmed through but i didnt see what ability it casts its spells with INT, CHA or WIS?

appoligies if im just blind
Zareneth
04-15-06, 02:48 PM Mainly CHA, but INT is also crucial. It's done at will, but i'm thinking of giving it a like, 1 use/level, starting at first level but from 4th on it'll be like 1 use/every 5 levels.

Archmagi1976 04-15-06, 02:49 AM	After taking more time to go through the class, hey anything to get out of the work ahead since it is a friday. :D The skill points need to be all together, I do not see any other class with two different progressions in skills as it grows in level. 4+int at first then 2+int? Second, you have made the shadowcasting ability seems a little too powerful in my eyes. That is like giving someone the warlock ability on top of a 9 level spell list. If you want to keep that, and the good hit die, and the full base attack, ect... I would cut the HD down to D6 honestly... If you keep the Shadowcasting, then bring the full casting down too 6th level with 1/2 base attack progression, or down to 4th with 3/4ths base attack progression. On a side note... How does this shadowcasting (damage spell) work? It is a basic touch attack? I can understand why you like the class, it has great merrit, but it seems to want to fulfill the whole parties requirements in one on top of the armor proficiency.

Archmagi1976 04-15-06, 03:05 AM	Does it use the spell progression table like a spell? Or is this something done at will? If it is at will, then it is a very powerful spell like ability. Please understand, this is no way ment in any disrespect for the class it's self. I find my self trying to work and keep coming back to it to look at it for possible ideas. It mixes just the right amount of Evil, Darkness and just being plain wrong, and I love that. :plotting: :evillaugh :devil: It works so well together. But it does seem to scream to me what is this class trying to do? If you are looking for more of an arcane version of the cleric, then I think it is an interesting idea. Truely I do...

Zareneth 04-15-06, 02:48 PM	Mainly CHA, but INT is also crucial. It's done at will, but i'm thinking of giving it a like, 1 use/level, starting at first level but from 4th on it'll be like 1 use/every 5 levels.
