Ecureuil_Diabolique 06-20-07, 03:35 PM	I am using this thread to make a class similar to the Warlock in Complete Arcane. I am thinking of allowing it access to either a school of magic or possibly a few for its spell-like abilities. It'll probably gain access to only a few levels. I want it to gain more cool abilities tied to its heritage though, so the spell-like abilities will either be less powerful or the class will get less of them. Any ideas would be great. I dislike the current name of the class so if anyone has an idea, please offer any alternative. I have my first version of the invocations table, but I still need to type up which spells are invocations and which aren't. I have the invocations down, it needs some reviewing, but so far it's what I'm going with. I'm still not sure whether to cut it down to 4th level instead of 5th.

Ecureuil_Diabolique 06-20-07, 04:07 PM	It's now open, I'll be working on the basics at least so everyone can actually get a feel for what I'm working on. I don't expect many people even bothering to look it over until I'm near done. Anyone willing to write up the flavor text after I'm done with a majority of the class would be amazing. I'm not very skilled with writing that sort of thing and any help is very much appreciated.
Ecureuil_Diabolique 06-20-07, 08:14 PM	I've gotten the invocations down. Does anyone see anything that seems too powerful? I know more than a few of them have marginal usability but I want to keep the options open.
