We all know that the Mystic Theurge is a bit lacking in the power department. Always trailing behind the full casters, always having terrible BAB, always being so darn MAD without ever getting a chance to be SAD, always having to pay rent to live in the basement, etc.
Well, when I was working on my current character, a Spellslinger 1, Flame Oracle 2, I decided to go the Mystic Theurge route. I wanted a mystical gunslinger straight out of the Mana Wastes from Alkenstar, and I had to give up so much to be a theurge that I am half of what any normal being would get at all points.
Arguably, the base Theurge has solid versatility. The problem is in the concept that I am going for. That is why I am going to begin work on a Spellslinger based Mystic Theurge Prestige class, and I was hoping that maybe a couple of you guys could help me with some ideas.
The requirements for the class are as follows: 3 ranks in Knowledge (Arcana) and (Religion, the ability to cast EITHER 1st level Arcane spells and 2nd level Divine spells OR 2nd level Arcane Spells and 1st level Divine spells, Must have the Arcane Gun class feature.
The inherent weaknesses of the class are simple; you have four prohibited schools for those divine classes that prepare spells, can't wear armor without feat taxing and loss of swift actions, terrible BAB and saves for days, very MAD needing Dex and in most cases, two spellcasting stats.
Features that are to be replaced are ALL of the Mystic Theurge features. Given that this is a multiclass prestige, it should follow the power levels of the Arcane Trickster, Arcane Archer, and the Champion of Irori.
Thanks for helping ahead of time.
