So, the one thing I don't like about the Eldritch Knight (well, maybe there's more than one) is that a level in monk can't qualify you. So, I invented this PrC that requires proficiency in all monk weapons, rather than all martial weapons. Note I haven't done anything about the Wisdom/Intelligence or Charisma MAD here, I guess if you're going to use a homebrew prestige class in your game, you might also ask if the Ascetic Mage or Kung Fu Genius feats are allowed too.
Let me know if I've written anything unclear, or if I'm not using the right formatting.
Cosmic Guru
Like the name? If you want, you could always put the serial numbers back on and call it 'Elemental Bender' or 'Master of Genjutsu'.
Hit Die: d8
Requirements
To qualify to become a cosmic guru, a character must fulfill all the following criteria.
Weapon Proficiency: Must be proficient with all monk weapons.
Spells: Able to cast 3rd-level arcane spells.
Class Skills: Acrobatics (Dex), Climb (Str), Knowledge (history) (Int), Knowledge (religion) (Int), Linguistics (Int), Sense Motive (Wis), Spellcraft (Int), and Swim (Str)
Skill Ranks at each level: 2 + Int modifier
10-level Prestige class
Base Attack Bonus Progression: 3/4, ending at +7
Saving Throw Progression: All saves are good, starting at +1 and ending at +5
Spell Progression: +1 level of existing arcane spellcasting class at every level except 1st.
Bonus Feats: At 1st level, and every 4 levels thereafter, the cosmic guru may select a bonus feat from the monk feat list or the bloodline feat list for the cosmic guru's bloodline. Add the cosmic guru's level to his monk levels (if any) to determine the kinds of bonus monk feats the cosmic guru may take. He does not need to meet the prerequisites for any of these feats.
Flurry of Blows: A cosmic guru adds his class level to flurry of blows attacks to his base attack bonus, rather than his normal 3/4 progression.
Bloodline Spells: Choose a sorcerer bloodline when you take this prestige class. You gain extra spells known as a sorcerer of your cosmic guru level. If you are already a sorcerer, you must choose your sorcerer class's bloodline, and the sorcerer and cosmic guru levels stack. This ability does not grant bonus spells to a cosmic guru unless he possesses spell slots of an appropriate level. Such bonus spells are automatically granted if the cosmic guru gains spell slots of the spell's level. If you aren't a spontaneous arcane caster, add the bloodline spells to your spellbook (or familiar) at the appropriate level.
