DnD can take people from hundreds of differant climates and scenerios, but the one that i think can hold alot of mystery and secret is the Desert.

The campiegn i have recently started is largely based on Deserts,(Annaroch, Calim Desert etc.) from Forgotten Realms. I have access to almost any book and yes i have looked into SS deeply for information and ideas. I have roughly thought of the idea of Sand Shaper. Sand Shaper has a rich roleplaying aspect aswell as those unique sandcrafting abilities. Does anyone have ideas for a Desert PrC? I'm looking for mage types in perticular.
Ideas anyone??

Do you have access to the book Sandstorm (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=products/dndacc/177390000)?

Not quite for casters, though some of them may end up choosing it for the more combat based ones.

Well, a sort of crossover between a Bladesinger and a Dervish could make for a somewhat fitting desert caster class.

A kinda rogue/caster prc could focus on moving through the sand, maybe call them "Sandsharks", gaining a burrow speed and some sand related abilities. I like the cinematic image of the dark figure sliding traceless out of a dune to sneak attack some clueless passerby.

I think that a rehash of the Frost Mage (Frostburn) for a desert environment should be feasible. You can make it into a semi-sandshaper - with desert and fire-themed spells instead of ice. The natural armor can be from sand, for example.

Any extreme setting can work with any other. Remember that the primeval can choose dire lion as a possible shape ;) ?
