#1 LordKain Jun 05, 2009 19:07:17	just wondering what divine prestige classes are out there in the base (none setting) books that have both SA and a straight casting progression I know about Dagger spell shapper but I was wanting to do it on an archivest so....
#2 xakypshalorn Jun 05, 2009 19:21:41	Spellwarp Sniper (From complete scoundrel) Is a 5 level prestige class that grants 3 dice of sneak attack or sudden strike progression for shooting rays (and the ability to turn all those aoe blasts into precision rays with expanded sneak attack range and remove the reflex saves from them.)
#3 Balthanon Jun 05, 2009 19:54:53	I'm not aware of any prestige classes that advance any spellcasting or divine spellcasting and standard sneak attack without losing a caster level. I believe Darkmask is the only one, and that is setting specific and only +1d6 sneak attack.
#4 LordKain Jun 05, 2009 20:07:19	the closest I could find was Shadowbane Stalker. Thanks anyways guys.
#5 xakypshalorn Jun 05, 2009 20:17:15	Actually though, Spellwarp Sniper is a pretty good prestige class for an Archivist that wants to sneak attack. The 2d6 sneak attack requirement 'might' be a problem. Balthanon, does Darkmask lose any caster levels on the way to it's 1d6 sneak attack? Because if it doesn't, we could go... Archivist X (however many required to get into Darkmask DarkMask X (up till you get the sneak attack die) Shadowbane Stalker 3 (No lost caster levels, +1d6 sneak attack) Spellwarp Sniper 5 (we're up to 5d6 sneak attack with rays here.) Sacred Exorsist 1 Pick up divine metamagic persist (or just persistant spell if your only playing in late game or have issues with DMMP) and persist Hunter's Eye, applying Prayer Beads and Ankh of Assension. Nets you +9d6 ontop of your 5d6, for 14d6 sneak attack all day long with Rays, at Archivist Spellcasting level 19.

#7 toryn Jun 05, 2009 20:24:44	I believe the Black Flame Zealot in Complete Divine progresses sneak attack and divine casting, but I am not 100% certain.
#8 xakypshalorn Jun 05, 2009 20:27:19	Your right it does. Can't believe I missed that. (I blame preferring arcane magic on my sneaks.) Yeah, pick up black flame Zealot, mix and match to taste.
#9 Balthanon Jun 05, 2009 20:30:19	Darkmask doesn't lose any caster levels-- you do need to worship Vhaerun though (so Sacred Exorcist afterwards is definitely out and I believe Shadowbane Stalker would be as well), and the skill reqs are fairly high. It does have 6 skill points per level though, which is very nice and gets some moderately useful 1/day spell-like abilities. Black Flame Zealot on the other hand loses one caster level at each odd level-- doesn't quite fit the original requirements. (Nor does Darkmask unfortunately, since it is FR material.)
#10 xakypshalorn Jun 05, 2009 21:15:27	Which book is it in exactly anyway?
