09-19-07, 06:37 PM Hey guys, I need some help building a class. Its an Epic class for an NPC and eventually for a player character that has an interest. In my game, Halaster Blackcloak got his sanity back after the Elminster in Hell book and "remembered" levels from when he was in Ancient Imaskar. I'm trying to build a 10 level prestige class that the Imaskari would of used to fight the gods. I was looking at the Ur-Priest to get some ideas. But I'de like to get some feedback from the community to round out class abilities. So far, I have this:

-Divine Spell Resistance, 10 + Arcane caster level = Spell Resistance vs Gods
-Overcome Divine Spell Resistance +10 (as the Assay Spell Resistance Spell)
-Suppress Immunity of Dimensional Lock and Dimensional Anchor, so the god can't just plane shift or teleport away.
-Divine Spell Power every other level to gain +1 to caster level and save DC's for spells used against gods.
-Improved Siphon Spell, can sacrifice lower level spell slots to caster higher level spells, but dealing a backlash damage to self equal to the number of spell levels sacrificed.
-Some type of suppress Immunity, like suppress immunity to electricty, or ability drain, ability damage etc...
-Maybe a Suppress godly realm ability. (thats kinda potent i think)
-Divine Surge (Reroll 1/day per class level an attack roll, save, or skill check vs a god.
-Penetrate Divine Shield (spells cast at gods can penetrate the Salient Divine Ability "Divine Shield".

What you guys think? I'm not sure how to organize it, the neccasary pre-req's and what not. Also I'de really like to hear ideas from more intelligent people out there :).

Edit: The whole basis of the class should probably be explained. In my world, the Imaskari captured gods, and basically used them as batteries for magical power. They used them to power cities with magic, magic items, spell and item creation and xp expenditures etc... So the class needs to focus around capturing, fighting, and using the divine energy to fuel their desires. Sounds far fetched and impossible, but it works for my game.

Capturing and fighting and so on, Gods? Full-blown Gods?

The Imaskari barrier and the Scepter of the Sorcerer Kings, and Karsus's Avatar, and the Elven High Magic Ritual to bind Moander, were really the only things approaching this level.

If your Imaskari had such power, and such things were readily able to even happen with the Weave, Abeir-Toril would be nothing like it currently is at all.

Mechanics: DM's fiat.

09-21-07, 01:58 PM Hmmm... I remember recently seeing such a prestige class on the Deities and the Planes board by PrinceOfTheVoid. If memory serves, there was some discussion of the class and a few varying versions on the Dicefreaks board as well. It may be more martial than you are looking for however (if this is for Halaster). Here is the link for the wizards thread http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=925446 and the dicefreaks thread http://community.dicefreaks.com/viewtopic.php?t=8146 :) . Good luck with your campaign and keep that Halaster alive!
