12-26-07, 03:12 AM Anyone familiar with this class? I saw this in an issue of Dragon magazine (not mine, a friend's) and the requirements to enter are a bit odd.

You need to be chaotic evil, you need a respectable base fortitude save, you need to have some skill points in hide/move silently/survival/knowledge (nature), two easy to get feats, and be able to cast a few "plant" based spells (clerics with plant domain, druids, and rangers all meet this requirement by the time they can cast 3rd lvl spells).

Now my question : In the class description it mentions that "druids and rangers make the best thralls" but "clerics with the plant domain can do well as thralls". How is this possible?

I understand Rangers can enter the class by level 11 or 12 with no problems (but they can't take all 10 levels of the PrC unless the game goes into epic levels).

Druids can meet the requirements by level 10 (since hide and move silently are cross class skills for them) BUT look at the alignment requirement. Druids cannot be chaotic evil without losing all their druid abilities. How then would druids make ideal thralls?

At what level can clerics enter this PrC? They don't get survival as a class skill.

It's pretty confusing.

Even though I don't have the issue of Dragon that it appeared in, I did a quick google search and it confirmed the alignment restriction.

Need to know the specific prereqs to tell you this.

I didn't want to violate any WotC copyright laws so I didn't get too specific. But the skill requirements are : hide/move silently 5 ranks, survival 8 ranks, knowledge (nature) 8 ranks. Hopefully I didn't just violate board guidelines :D
