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.

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.

A combo I've always wanted to try is Halfling Fighter 5/Beastmaster 1/Wild Plains Outrider 3/Halfling Outrider 10. With Natural bond, you'd have an Animal Companion equivalent to a druid of your level and it'd be very amusing. None of them give your animal extra abilities beyond standard companion stuff, but it's still some goodies.

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.

I'm afraid I'll be sticking to the "one PrC at a time" rule. Sorry.

And neither do I, which is why it's not on the allowed book list.

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).

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...

Awesome. I'll get to work on the character right away. At least... as soon as I get home... sweatdrop

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.

Cool! I went ahead and converted Kristenna's Swim ranks to UMD...may go back and rearrange some more, as a +6 to UMD isn't terribly useful....or I may not. biggrin

Concerning Yasakura's spells... When I looked at the Bonus Spell stuff, it didn't specify whether a spellcaster would get bonus known spells, or just bonus SPD. If that's the case, I'll rectify the spells pronto.

Well, here's my contribution. Reed McKennitt, wizard/swordsage.

In addition, he receives bonus spells per day if he has a high Charisma score.

(emphasis mine)

This is from the section in the SRD about sorcerer spell casting. It's the only place bonus spells are referenced in the sorcerer section. It's the same for wizards, so I had already had to look at it.

To further expound:

d20 SRD Sorcerer Entry

Unlike spells per day, the number of spells a sorcerer knows is not affected by his Charisma score; the numbers on Table: Sorcerer Spells Known are fixed.

The only way to gain additional spells known is through the Extra Spell feat from Complete Arcane. You add one spell known to your list, but it can't be of a level higher than your maximum spell level -1 (so, in the case of a sorcerer taking it at 6th level, you'd be able to add one 2nd level spell to your spells known).

So Sakura, is there any way I can convince you to allow a gestalt Ranger// Rogue?
And if no, can you let the lawful requirement for monks drop?

No and yes.

Allowing gestalt Rogue would probably have lead to a few too many rogues, honestly. I didn't want to see that too much.

However, if the Lawful requirement for the rogue is a sticking point, then you may ignore the lawful requirement. I don't have a specific problem with monks without that alignment restriction.

I would have loved to create a character but it looks like you already have your six. Also, I wouldn't be able to post my character until Monday, seeing as I am going to be gone until then.

Though, looking at the six it looks like it would be an interesting game/crew
