02-19-07, 03:04 PM Inspired by the multiclass feats in Complete Adventurer and Complete Scoundrel, I've decided to make a few of my own.

Devoted Priest
You have learned to mix your knightly training with that of the priesthood, becoming a true agent of your faith both on the battlefield and in the temple.
Prerequisites:Smite Evil, Access to at least 1 domain power.
Benefit:Your cleric and Paladin levels stack for the purposes of determining the bonus damage done by your smite evil ability and any numeric effects of your domain abilities governed by your cleric level.
In addition, you may freely multiclass between cleric ad paladin. You must still remain Lawful Good in order to retain your paladin abilities and take paladin levels. You still face the normal XP penalties for having multiple classes more than one level apart.

Crusading Devoted Priest
You continuously look for ways to blend your knightly training and priestly duties.
Prerequisite: Devoted Priest
Benefit: Add all paladin spells not on the cleric list to your list of cleric spells.
Special: If you also have or later acquire the battle blessing feat, it applies to any cleric spells you have prepared that also appear on the paladin list, including those granted by this feat.

Faithful Inquisitor
You have been trained as an elite agent by your church to track down corruption within and insidious threats without.
Prerequisites:Sneak Attack, Access to at least 1 domain power.
Benefit:Your Rogue and cleric levels stack for the purpose of determining any numeric benefits of your domain abilities.
In addition, you may spend a turn or rebuking attempt as a swift action to have your bonus damage from sneak attacks affect undead creatures for one round.

Faithful Berserker
You have learned to combine your faith with the savage culture of your people.
Prerequisites:Rage ability, Access to at Least one domain power
Benefit:Your barbarian and cleric levels stack for the purposes of determining the number of times you may use your rage ability in a day, and for determining access to other, improved forms of rage, such as greater rage.
In addition, your cleric and barbarian levels stack for any numeric values of your domain abilities dependent on your cleric level.
Finally, you may cast spells from your cleric levels while raging. This does not apply to spells gained from any other source.

I have more of these up my sleeve, but what do you think so far?

Wow, I have a couple of barbarian/cleric/prestige class NPCs would could really benefit from Faithfuth Berserker! :)

02-19-07, 03:33 PM Some others:

Swift Berserker
You have learned to combine speed, stealth, and fury into one unified whole, striking like a force of nature and vanishing just as quickly.
Prerequisites:Rage, skirmish +1d6/+1 AC
Benefit:Your barbarian and Scout levels stack for the purposes of determining your bonuses from the scout's skirmish ability, as well as the number of times you may rage in a day, and improved versions of the rage ability, such as greater rage.

Savage Shaman
You offer spiritual guidance to a tribe of rustic peoples. Your connection with the spirit world and your ferocity in battle have blended into one harmonious whole.
Prerequisites:Rage, Spirit Guide class ability
Beneit: Your Barbarian and spirit shaman levels stack for the purpose of determining the number of times you may rage per day, and the acquisition of improved versions of the rage feature, such as greater rage.
In addition, you may cast spells granted by your spirit shaman levels while raging. This ability does not apply to spells from any other source.

Devoted Servant
Your connection with the divine manifests itself in every fiber of your being. You are a walking representative of your deity's might.
Prerequisites:Smite evil, ability to cast spells from the cleric list without preparation
Benefit:Your paladin and favored soul levels stack for the purposes of determining the bonus damage done by your smite evil class ability andthe amount of damage healed by your lay on hands ability.
In addition, if you have at least five levels of paladin and the divine spirit alternate class feature (described starting on page 11 of Dungeonscape) your paladin and favored soul levels stack for the purposes of determining which spirits you have access to.
Your paladin and favored soul levels also stack for the purposes of determining when your character would acquire wings.
Finally, you may freely multiclass between paladin and favored soul. You must still remain Lawful Good in order to retain your paladin abilities and take paladin levels. You still face the normal XP penalties for having multiple classes more than one level apart.
Special: You must select the "Summon Monster" spell for each new spell level as you achieve it.
legowarrior
02-19-07, 03:40 PM That last one seems just a little too powerful, especially with the ability to get the improved forms of Rage. I'd stay away from that entirely.
Timespike
02-19-07, 07:15 PM Here's a couple more:

Eldritch Hexer
You have melded multiple sinister forms of power into a unified whole of villainy.
Prerequisites:Eldritch Blast 1d6, detect magic at will, Hexblade's Curse, able to cast first-level hexblade spells.
Benefit:Half of your hexblade levels(rounded down) stack with your warlock levels for determining the damage from your eldritch blast. Your warlock and hexblade levels stack for the purposes of determining uses per day of Hexblade's curse, as well as the acquisition of the greater and dire Hexblade's curses and the advancement of your familiar. Your levels do not stack for spellcasting, new invocations, or any other class feature.

Black Knight
You combine twisted honor with sinister magic to vanquish your foes.
Prerequisites:Knight's Challenge, Hexblade's Curse
Benefit:Your Hexblade and Knight levels stack for determining your uses and potency of both your Hexblade's Curse and Knight's challenge abilities. In addition, you may choose to spend two knight's challenge uses and a Hexblade's curse use to use both abilities on the same foe simultaneously.
Special:The posession of this feat can be used in lieu of ranks in the hide skill for the purposes of qualifying for the Blackguard prestige class

02-19-07, 07:53 PM Here's a couple more:

Eldritch Hexer
You have melded multiple sinister forms of power into a unified whole of villainy.
Prerequisites:Eldritch Blast 1d6, Hexblade's Curse
Benefit:Your hexblade and warlock levels stack for determining the damage from your eldritch blast and the uses per day of Hexblade's curse, as well as the acquisition of the greater and dire Hexblade's curses and the advancement of your familiar if you have at least 4 levels of hexblade. Your levels do not stack for spellcasting, new invocations, or any other class feature.

This one seems a bit...powerful. BOTH Hex and EB go up? Taking one level in Lock and the rest in Hexblade gives you a really painful EB with a Full BAB to back it up, in addition to the Hexs' spells

Try making the preq for EB 3d6 or making a BAB preq too, and maybe drop the familiar progression

Try making the preq for EB 3d6 or making a BAB preq too, and maybe drop the familiar progression

I liked the familiar advancement, so I instead cut the EB advancement from hexblade levels in half. You also now need 4 levels of hexblade and 2 of warlock to get in.

In that case try this maybe:

Preq: EB 2d6, BAB +5, Hexblade curse

Both your Lock and Hex levels stack to determine you familiar abilites and your EB advancment OR your Hex curse?

I dunno...

Hexblade's really not all that good of a class in play. This is basically an attempt to salvage it in the same way that Spellthief was salvaged by Master Spellthief.

02-19-07, 09:17 PM Great Thread Timespike. It made me stop lurking and finally getting an account on these boards.

What do you think about this one:

Daring Performer
As a true gentleman you have mastered both the art of swordplay and the art of the minstrel.
Prerequisites: Grace +1, inspire competence
Benefit: Your bard and swashbuckler levels stack for the purpose of determining your competence bonus on Reflex saves from the grace class feature and the swashbuckler's dodge bonus to AC.
Your bard and swashbuckler levels also stack for the purpose to determining the number of daily uses of bardic musik and your skill level in bardic knowledge.
Timespike
02-19-07, 09:29 PM Two more

Daring Squire
You have combined honor, courage, valor, style and grace into an effective and beautiful combat style.
Prerequisites:Knight's Challenge, Grace +1, Str 15, Dex 15
Benefit: Your Levels of Knight and Swashbuckler stack for uses and potency of knight's challenge as well as swashbuckler's doge bonus to AC and Grace features.
In addition, all of your swashbuckler abilities now function in medium armor.

Chivalric Performer
You are a true warrior poet, capable of both battlefield valor and artistic excellence.
Prerequisites:Knight's Challenge, Bardic Music, Lawful alignment
Benefit:Your Knight and Bard levels stack for determining the number of times per day you may use your bardic music, and for the number of times per day and potency of your Knight's Challenge ability. In addition, you may add additional bard levels while maintaining a lawful alignment. You must still maintain your lawful alignment to benefit from your knight abilities.

05-11-07, 05:20 PM I like Eldritch Hexer and Black Knight. Some more Hexblade and/or Warlock multiclass feats would be nice.

06-04-07, 09:43 PM :plotting:Here's an idea.
Draconian Berserker

Prerequisites- Breath Weapon 3d6, Rage 2/day, aligned with certain dragon type

Your Barbarian and Dragon Shaman Levels stack for Breath Weapon Damage, rage, and rage related class abilities.

Sound good?
Cala, Legend Reborn
06-05-07, 06:55 AM Swift Berserker
You have learned to combine speed, stealth, and fury into one unified whole, striking like a force of nature and vanishing just as quickly.
Prerequisites:Rage, skirmish +1d6/+1 AC
Benefit:Your barbarian and Scout levels stack for the purposes of determining your bonuses from the scout's skirmish ability, as well as the number of times you may rage in a day, and improved versions of the rage ability, such as greater rage.
...Lion totem barbarian (Complete Champion) for the win? :s

This made me think of Elan's "dashing swordsman" from OTS. Even though it was silly, I would love to see a class ability, or a feat of some sort that allowed Cha in place of Str on attack rolls, or something like that. I was thinking that might be a fun element, or something in that vein for this one, maybe allow you to substitute Cha for the Int bonus damage on the swashbuckler's insightful strike? Help reduce the MAD?

If I remember right, Snowflake Dance from Frostburn lets you expend a use of bardic music to do just that for one round.

06-05-07, 05:22 PM I'm sorry but the ability to cast spells in rage is just too much. Especially combined with greater rage. Take off the cast while rage part, and I'll shut up about it.

Other than that I really like these feats. Allowing for greater and mighty rage might be too much as well, but I want a second opinion before starting that argument.

I can think of two prestige classes that allow enraged casting early on (Champion of Gwynharwyf and Rage Mage) so I'm not sure what the big deal is. If you want to use the feat in your home game, feel free to take that part off, though (though at that point, there's no terribly good reason to take the feat in the first place) I'd be much more inclined to remove the improved forms of rage than to nix the enraged casting. The feat IS worded in such a way as to keep you from using it to cast spells from other sources while in a rage.

06-15-07, 09:15 PM Daring Deciever

Prerequesites:Grace +1, Spontaneously cast arcane spells

Your Beguiler and Swashbuckler levels stack for Grace, Caster Level, Spells Per Day, and the highest level spells you can cast.:bow:

Prerequesites:Grace +1, Spontaneously cast arcane spells

Your Beguiler and Swashbuckler levels stack for Grace, Caster Level, Spells Per Day, and the highest level spells you can cast.:bow:

This is too powerful. Advancing spells per day and spells known is far more powerful than the master spellthief example.

This is closer to a gestalt swashbuckler beguiler than a multi-class. I'd propose this:

Prerequesites:Grace +1, Cloaked Casting ability

Your Beguiler and Swashbuckler levels stack for Grace, Dodge Bonus, arcane Caster Level, and Cloaked Casting progression.

11-11-07, 11:08 AM Magical Scholar
Your study of magic has lead you down the path of both the arcane and divine. Your thirst for knowledge makes you a great scholar indeed.
Prerequisite: Ability to prepare and cast first level arcane spells, dark knowledge class ability.
Benefit: You may use the same book for your prayerbook and spellbook. In addition your archivist and wizard levels stack for the purposes of the advancement of your familiar. You may also cast your arcane spells in light armor. Medium or heavy armor or a shield still interferes with your spellcasting as normal. Finally, as compensation for having scribe scroll twice, you may now scribe scrolls at half cost (both in XP and gold)
Special: If you later enter the mystic theurge prestige class, half of the levels of the prestige class stack for both advancement of your familiar and advancement of your archivist class abilities.

If I remember right, Snowflake Dance from Frostburn lets you expend a use of bardic music to do just that for one round.

Other than that I really like these feats. Allowing for greater and mighty rage might be too much as well, but I want a second opinion before starting that argument.

Other than that I really like these feats. Allowing for greater and mighty rage might be too much as well, but I want a second opinion before starting that argument. I can think of two prestige classes that allow enraged casting early on (Champion of Gwynharwyf and Rage Mage) so I'm not sure what the big deal is. If you want to use the feat in your home game, feel free to take that part off, though (though at that point, there's no terribly good reason to take the feat in the first place) I'd be much more inclined to remove the improved forms of rage than to nix the enraged casting. The feat IS worded in such a way as to keep you from using it to cast spells from other sources while in a rage.

Advancing spells per day and spells known is far more powerful than the master spellthief example. This is closer to a gestalt swashbuckler beguiler than a multi-class. I'd propose this: Prerequesites:Grace +1, Cloaked Casting ability Your Beguiler and Swashbuckler levels stack for Grace, Dodge Bonus, arcane Caster Level, and Cloaked Casting progression.

Prerequisite: Ability to prepare and cast first level arcane spells, dark knowledge class ability. Benefit: You may use the same book for your prayerbook and spellbook. In addition your archivist and wizard levels stack for the purposes of the advancement of your familiar. You may also cast your arcane spells in light armor. Medium or heavy armor or a shield still interferes with your spellcasting as normal. Finally, as compensation for having scribe scroll twice, you may now scribe scrolls at half cost (both in XP and gold) Special: If you later enter the mystic theurge prestige class, half of the levels of the prestige class stack for both advancement of your familiar and advancement of your archivist class abilities.
