Thrallherd Question

I was looking at another thread concerning the thrallherd. Would this be something better to build as a wizard or as a sorcerer or bard? Why or why not? How would you go about building a non-wizard thrallherd?

No one?

Uh, I'm pretty sure Thrallherd is a psionic PrC. So none of those classes mentioned could even take it.

It is a psionic PRC but there is no reason why a person could not do thesame thing with magic.

You could make a thraller using arcane ,divine and psionics enabling you to by pass certain resistinces a creature may have.

Hmmm. A divine caster with the charm domain?

Thrallherd adds a progression for powers known at 8/10s, and adds new psionic powers as well as enhancements to those powers. A divine or arcane caster might be able to take this class, but it would gain less, and may have difficulty reaching the 5th level manifester requirement.

Love the Thrallherd, one of the best flavor PrC in the game.

Simply substituting the additional 'powers' for spells and using appropriate levels for those spells. Burning higher level spell slots for the 'augmented' spells. The Thrallherd gains abilities to drop increased costs for augmentation this is simply treated the same concerning spell levels.

The conversion equation for power points to spell level is as follows.

Spell Lvl=(PP Cost*2)-1

So level 1 would be a 1 PP power and lvl 9 would be a 17 pp Power. Augmentations would be treated in such a way that +2 PP is equal to +1 Level for spells acting linearly (+4 pp would be +2 spell levels)

Other than changing the names of the 'powers/spells' to make it sound like it's coming from the enchantment school rather than the telepathy discipline. The PrC transfers quite nicely from Psionics to Magic because a lot of the abilities in the enchantment/telepathy sections are very similar.

Do to the nature of Psionics though I would highly recommend that you chose a spontaneous caster over the prepared ones because of the level augmentation.

There is a arcane version, it's in one of the 3.5 books. I'm pretty sure it's either Complete Arcane or Complete Mage.
