11-19-06, 10:02 PM Anyone know where I would find a write up of the Child of the Night prestige class? I believe it is a class linked directly to the Shadow Plane.

Is there any other classes that have a similiar night/shadow theme?

What prestige classes empower undead/necromancy?

Thanks for your help

11-19-06, 10:11 PM Child of the Night is a Mystery using class, so if you don't have Tome of Magic, don't bother with it. It's linked directly with the plane of shadows because it pretty much requires you to be a shadowcaster to gain entry.

Tome of Magic has numerous excellent shadow-oriented prestige classes, and even a base class wholly devoted to the manipulation of shadows - namely, the shadowcaster. For the bolstering of undead, I'd suggest you look into Libris Mortis. I can't really get any more specific in that regard, as I don't have the book.
