What is the average level of entry for these PrCs? It used to be that entry into a prestige class came around level 6 or 7. Nowadays you can become an Eldritch Knight at level 3 or a Mystic Theurge at level 4 or an Arcane Trickster at level 5.

How are the class skills with these classes? For me, getting new class skills is a major incentive to multiclass or to take a Prestige Class.

every single prc in this book has either BAB or skill rank requirements of 5 or 6, with the exception of runner who only requires two feats is structured well around when you take it.


Everyone can get into Runner at level 4 at the earliest, granting everyone very powerful abilities at level 6. Martial characters who rely on full attacks would gain a lot here.

Humans and Elves can get into Runner at level 2 if they really push it.

quick clarification i caught, the arcane dabbler says

when it should say any One list. now the next line establishes that choice of list is fixed so this is mostly just absolute clarification. Who caught the fact that the AD allows wisdom based arcane casters?

Christos,

I see that you are listed as one of designers in the PDF. Did you write / collaborate on Arcane Dabbler? Is the "any one arcane spellcasting list" to be considered an "official" errata / RAI?

Also, yes, I caught the wisdom based arcane caster. My first ever DnD character back in the 1980's was a Ranger who got Druid spells and Mage spells around level 8 / 9, and I am using this to recreate him.

edit: Pardon, but a clarification. Does the Arcane Dabbler get 0 level spells, or just 1,2,3 as appropriate?
edit2: Sorry, another clarification. The Metamagic Focus, does the feat have to be one that he picked up before Arcane Dabbler, or the 1st level Bonus, or can it be a another metamagic feat. For example. Character is 6th level ranger, no metamagic feats, picks up silent spell as bonus, can he pick up still spell as the focus, or does it have to be silent as that is the only metamagic spell he knows so far.

I am trying to figure out RAI since my DM will ask, thanks.

yes i am, and yes it is. had a playern ask if they could select from both bloodrager and summoner spell lists when i had him read it, so i decided to nip that in the bud.

they do in fact by both RAW and RAI get 0 level spells.

hmm it should be one metamagic he knows(it makes more thematic sense that way). If we do a pdf update the wording will be changed to be more clear on that.

no problem, i love the feedback on this. Its been a nagging desire for me to do somehting like this for quite some time(both the easy to pick up casting, AND the ability for a wisdom based arcane caster that isn't a hyper specific option), the really simple prestige product turned out to be the perfect way for me to do it.

Thank you for the answers. Pretty much what I thought was the answers.

I am pretty much a RAW guy, but if there are multiple plausible interpretations I like to hear the RAI if possible.

Yea, my first character was an Unearthed Arcana Ranger "Traine dan Torcan". He was a lot of fun to play, and I even have my original character sheet upstairs in my old bookcase along with well used copies of "Temple of Elemental Evil" and the GDQ series.
