12-29-04, 01:45 PM Alright, one of my friend's PCs in our current game has just become the founder of his race's new religion (after we uhh kinda destroyed their last one)

He's a fighter/Mage Slayer right now, but in a couple levels he's going to be finished with Mage Slayer, and after becoming the prophet of a new religion, going back to fighter just doesn't seem to fit.

Now, keeping in mind the following things:
1) There is no divine or arcane magic in this world.
2) His levels in Mage Slayer (modified to work against psionics) prevent him from taking any psionic PrCs
3) His levels in mage slayer are a prominent component of his new religion. He speaks that wielders of shaping power (psionics) must be carefully monitored and controlled that they do not abuse their power for ill.
4) He is lawful neutral
5) He has a thing for finding and rebuilding ancient machines

Is there any appropriate classes or prestige classes he could take after finishing mage slayer?

To the first I would advise your friend to take fighter. Why? Because in a world where arts divine and arcane don't exist a prophit is a normal person. It's all up to him as a role-player. Likes machines, yes? Try using this as a basis for the PC's role. Perhaps the machines are gifts to the world from the divine power. Maybe they have a religious quest to learn to harness these things and create them themselves. You see? Easy.

As to second, that's out of my field of expertise. My only advise would be to move this to opptimization.

The religion aspects of it are easy - just look at the mechanists in Thief 2.
