Ephemeral Skies (3.5; Recruiting)

[Alzzak]

Knowing my luck no one is on to answer, but is there another class/prestige class that offers a flying mount? All I can find are Dragonrider and Skylord, and I was wondering if there was any more.

If you're medium, you could always aim for a Druid level -3 Dire Bat. Easiest way to pick one up is through Druid, Ranger, or Beast Master (Complete Adventurer). Natural Bond from CV is a great way to boost up the ranger or beast master's animal companion options.

Thinking on it...

Hey Sakura, in this setting, would a Dread Pirate need swim, since it's all airships?

I second this! I'd much rather have a skill that was useful in the campaign....

I'm going to say for the Dread Airship Pirate prestige class, replace Swim ranks with Use Magic Device ranks.

Ow, a non-class skill for me. No Dread Pirating for me then, at least via PrC.

Dread Pirate isn't so great anyhow. It's all about forcing reknown mechanics onto a game that doesn't suit them well(since the point of being a dread pirate is the whole dread aspect) You'd be just as well suited sticking with straight rogue or bard levels and trying to max your intimidate.

Introducing! Buck Spanser, shifter psychic warrior//swordmage! Picture coming soon!

Another question: How do you plan on dealing with the Crusader being granted random maneuvers? Will you tell the PC what maneuver they get every round? Also, would you accept the Cloistered Cleric class variant from Unearthed Arcana?

Yes, I am considering a Cleric//Crusader combo. In which case I would also like to ask how you'd handle a Ruby Knight Vindicator. If I take levels of it on the crusader side, can I simply ignore the spellcasting increases from RKV and just level cleric spellcasting normally on the cleric side? Or is it just a case of "RKV is a hybrid class so forget it" (In which case I'll just take levels of Sacred Exorcist Bone Knight or something on the cleric side).

I knew of that options, and I was going to use them in fact, I was just looking for more mount based prestige classes that I could use to add some flavor to my character and add to my mounts stats(like speed, armor, ability scores, etc), but if that is my only option.

Off the top of my mind there aren't many PrC's that give you flying mounts. Two that come to mind are from the Forgotten Realms. Sadly both technically require 'Region' feats.
-Knight of Flying Hunt [Champions of Valor]: Gain a Pegasus mount
-Aglarondan Griffonrider [Unapproachable East]: Gain a Griffon mount.
Currently looking for more PrC's but most are either in supplement books (ex: Masters of the Wild), or older editions (which I believe the two I gave are technically 3.0 anyways...)  

[Xboxplayerj]

After much thought and stuff, mostly me being bored, I have an idea in mind just one question. Can we take two prestige classes at the same time? I know the rules say no, but you are limiting the possibilities we have with forcing us to only go with monk or Nine swords classes.

Why not see about the Legendary Captain PrC from Stormwrack?

Don't have Stormwrack

Well, there's always cross class skill ranks...

Yeah, I'll deal you your Crusader maneuvers every round. And I'd allow your Cloistered Cleric, because I like the class a lot.

I'd also allow RKV to progress Crusader without casting progression. Because I like that class, too, and I don't think it'd be overpowered or anything at all...
