    Beast Master of Malar.

    this was taken from the sundren wiki and thought that it might be something interesting.

    "
    The church of Malar also includes lone priests unaffiliated with any particular hunt. These solitary women and men, known as Beastmasters, exhibit an amazing rapport bordering on telepathy with animals and other predators, and they are rumored to command fearsome powers resembling those of powerful druids.
    Beastmasters resemble savage beasts in disposition and lifestyle and exert control over most predators in large swaths of wilderness through the use of multiple, concurrent find companion spells. (Other clergy can only have one animal companion at a time.) Beastmasters only rarely call upon the aid of other Malarites in their territory, but when they do, few local Huntmasters defy their requests. There is a loose correlation between the geographic areas of influence of Beastmasters and circles of druids in the wild. Individual Beastmasters and their servitors contest in an endless cycle of violence with nearby druids.
    Malar is also served by a few rare Beast Lords. These lone spellcasters breed unnatural monsters like bulettes, stegocentipedes, owlbears, perytons, and so forth. While most Beast Lords are human, a few are drawn from the ranks of other races such as illithids and beholders. One prominent nonhuman Beast Lord in the North is an illithilich, believed to be based in ruined Dekanter, who seeks to conquer part of the dark realms of the Underdark with an army of beasts."


    my thoughts are a druid/ranger/cleric (with animal domain) arch type but maybe with altered wild shape fourms and some agumented summoning. of course with some spell casting ablity.

    ever sence i noticed that some of the other gods of fury have some PC's like the ice fury, and the one for talos i thought this might be a doable thing.

    Needs more bear warrior.

    Hmm.. It doesn't look like much more than a normal druid from here, just with a different RP slant:

    Control animals? Check.
    Summon animals. Check.
    Turn into animals and crash on transitions or be generally useless. Check.

    The only advantage the Beastmaster PrC has is that you get extra animal companions, who really, REALLY stink.
    You get extra animal companions at levels 4, 7 and 10 but (big, J-Lo But), their level equals beastmaster levels -3, -6, -9.

    So a level 10 druid 4 beastmaster would have his normal animal companion, and a new 1st level animal companion. You know the ones that die against the spittlefist in about two rounds. Yeah. You get 3 of them.

      with regards to mulitple animal compainions, i was thinking more along the lines of summoning monster spells with a longer duration may be a min a lvl. and not the normal druid summons of wolves bears and pigs. more like a monster summoning a cleric would get (weirdo creatures that ol malar himself would like).
      as for the wild shape ability i was thinking it more like a ploymorph spell with added shapes as the BM progresses.
      again it was just a thought i have had for some time now.

        So, not the actual Beastmaster class, but some homebrew thing?

        If you want it to be considered I'd recommend putting together the bones of an actual usable class, the suggestion is OK, but to vague to be really pushed forward unless it catches the attention of someone on the team who wants to completely develop it from the ground up.

          thanks for the feedback. ill have to put some more thought into it, maybe other from the comunity would have some interesting ideas. sadly i have had little experience with diving into prestige classes and how to balance them. i was more hoping to spark an interest from those that do.

          anyhow thank you again for the feed back.

              It'd be a great rogue/assassin class if its abilities meshed properly with those classes.

              Feats like Crossbow Assassin +1/2 DEX added to ranged/crossbow damage would be good, I'd love to see Blackwood take a technological route rather than long/short bows.

              Dark Lantern, Scout, Marskman, Dread Commando and Elite Commando would be nice.

              I'd also love to see Techsmith go in as an Exigo/Blackwood only PrC.

                Make Assassin spells count towards 1st level arcane for AA and see how much better it could be. That seems like nothing, but Rogue/Assassin/AA would be deadly. Though we all know ranged sneak attack SUCKS. Can that range be fixed?

                  The range is where it's supposed to be. Without proper spells, a sneak attack can't go beyond 30 feet in range, which is pretty short as per PnP.
                  Characters:
                  Peridan Twilight, one-eyed dog of the Legion, deceased.
                  Daniel Nobody, adventurer and part time problem solver.

                      I feel like this is the reason for most of the frustration on poly morph type spells. As a wizard, Shape change is awesome, but only lasts 'til the next transition ;(

                        Peridan is correct, the sneak attack range is as per PnP.

                        There are feats that allow that range to be extended out in steps to 90ft, and a class that can only sneak attack at distances greater than 30ft, but that's PnP. Here in game the distance is hardcoded afaik.

                        Assassin/wiz/roge/aa is still a deadly class in theory, but to many of its special abilities, the always hit arrows etc, don't stack with sneak attacks.

                          It would still be possible to make a very special request about faction-only PRCs though, riiiight?

                            Heh, someone would have to actually make the class, sort out the various problems with PnP translation then get it all up and running in game before we worry about giving it to people!

                            It's just a class I'd like to see, there's no plans to put it in
