Azure Ravager - A PrC Inspired by Final Fantasy XI's Blue Mage


Homebrew and House Rules


So I've been tinkering around with this on and off for a few months now, and I think I'm ready to post it. As the title says, I'm basing most of the inspiration off of FFXI's incarnation, and been writing bits here and there for minor faction based mostly in Katapesh and Qadira that the PrC comes from.

However, I don't want to commit to doing a bunch of fluff writing if the mechanics aren't sound enough for play.

The prestige class itself is up in this Google doc, I've gone through Bestiary 1 thus far. I'd like to get some opinions and critique before I move into Bestiary 2 and 3. The PrC is primarily meant for a martial base, it's not actually a spellcasting class (Though I have had someone use Inquisitor as a base in a playtest to good effect).

Comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated, and I'm open to collaboration.

Some mutation entries are as-of-yet undecided. I'm open to suggestion on those. I'm also debating on whether to allow mutations from CR 1/2 outsiders that are familiar-able.

EDIT: Just remembered, there's a few Bestiary 2 entries in there. Those were critters that showed up over a series of modules used for playtesting.

Wow. I've been looking over the prestige class and...you've hit the feel of the Blue Mage on the head. Excellently done. Personally, I think the mechanics work well, given that you are dependent on what your DM throws at you. You can't reliably plan synergistic mutations. I'd love to see a base class version, or even just more abilities from the other bestiaries, though I understand that takes a lot of time and effort on your part. I'd love to see the fluff you've written, if you still have it!
