Class Features
All of the following are class features of the Arcane Blade prestige Class
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Arcane Blades are proficient with light armor and the Arcane Blade is always proficient with his Magic’s blade.
Spells per day/spells known: At each of the indicated Arcane Blade level, the character gains new spells per day (and spells known, if applicable) as if he had also gained a level in the arcane spellcasting class to which he belonged before adding the prestige class level. He does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of the class would have gained (such as improved familiar abilities, and so on.) If the character had more then one arcane spellcasting class before becoming a Arcane Blade, the player must decide to which class to add each Arcane Blade level for the purpose of determining spells per day and spells known.

Magic’s Blade: As a move-equivalent action, the arcane blade creates a semisolid blade composed of arcane magic. As long as he holds the blade, it is identical in all ways (expect visually) to a short sword and deals 1d6 piercing damage plus his strength mod. The blade can be broken; however, the arcane blade can simply create another on his next move-equivalent action. The moment he relinquishes his grip on the blade, it dissipates. The Arcane blade may take weapon Focus, weapon specialization ( if of the appropriate class ), or weapon finesse in conjunction with the Magic’s Blade. When the Arcane Blade reaches 2nd level, his magic’s blade gains a +1 enhancement Bonus; at 4th level, +2; at 6th level, +3; at 8th level, +4; at 10th level +5. The enhancement bonus applies to each Magic’s Blade created, including those that are throw, Improved, imbedded and mastered. Creating a Magic’s Blade is a supernatural ability.

Sneak Attack: A arcane bland can make sneak attacks exactly like a rough, but only with his magic’s blade. Any time the arcane’s target would be denied a desterity bouns to AC, the magic’s balde attack deals a +1d6 points of damamge. This extra damaga increase by +1d6 every other level (+2d6 at 3rd level, +3d6 at 5th level, and so on). See rouge description in chapter 3 of the player’s handbook for more information on sneak attacks.

Throw Magic’s Blade: At 2nd level, the soulknife can throw his magic’s blade as a ranged weapon with a rande increment of 30 feet. Whether of not the attack hits, a throw magic’s blade then dissipates. The arcane blade can make a sneak attack with a trhow mind-blade ( within 30 feet) and can use the blade in conjunction with other special abilities (such as imbedding a power in it).

Imbed Spell: at 4th level, the arcane blade can imbed any one spell that he knows in his arcane blade. This spell-like ability requires a move-equivalent action and the arcane blade must give up that spell slot for the day to inbed the spell. The spell that is imbedded into the magic’s blade must specify a target. Thus sleep is not eligible since it dose not affect a “target creature.” The imbedded spell automatically affects the next target that the arcane blade successfully attacks with his magic’s blade. When the spell takes affect the magic’s blade is then “flushed” and it can hold another spell. A Arance blade can never have more then one spell imbedded at a time.

Improved magic’s Blade: on reaching 5th level, the arance blade achineves greater control over his magic power. His magic’s blade’s base characteristics are now those of a long sword, so that it deals 1d8 slashing damage. The arcane place can use this upgraded magic’s blade just as he could use the original magic’s blade.

Free draw: At 6th level, a arcane blade can materialize his magic’s blade as a free action instead of a move-equivalent action. The arcane blade can only take one such free action a round. This is a extraordinary ability.

Magic’s Blade Mastery: On reaching 10th level, the arcane blade masers his magical control over his magic’s blade. His magic’s blade’s base characteristics are now those of a bastard sword, so it deals 1d10 slashing damage. The arcane blade can use the mastered blade just as he could use his original blade.

[Lord Kain]

An interesting PrC my old friend, not to powerful, not to weak. Your missing the requirements to join it though.

[Sargon]

crap your right, ill have to get to those.

[galaga]

also gaining master blade gives them nothing
perhaps it should emilate a great sword rather than a bastard sword.

[Lord Kain]

actually he made a typo, it should say 1d10

[Sargon]

yeah i did, i fixed that.

yall dont think this is too powerful? when i was makeing it i was thinking it was a bit on the powerful side.

[Sargon]

i made the drifter to kinda replace the bard as the travelers class of choice.
this class makes use of the region thing for characters that was in fearun, and Nightkord as well. i figured someone might as well make sure of it.

Faithless Knight

The Faithless knights protect the city of Aren and work to prevent another faith war. They don’t worship any gods, and in fact some of the faithless knights despise gods, seeing them as powerful slave masters, and there worshipers as lackies. Others in the Faithless knights belive that the gods are not the true “Faith” and work on converting the masses to there cause. Not all the faithless knights hate gods, but none of the faithless knights worship them. The faithless knights say that they have discovered a way to tap in to a greater force of divine magic, and that is where they get there divine spells from. Divine spell casters of other faiths say that the faithless knights steal spells.
Long ago the faithless knights were charged by the most powerful kingdoms of the time to protect the city aren and to stop faith wars, this was a job they have done perfectly. Even those that don’t like the faithless knights admit that they have done there job well.
Fighters are the most likely class to become a faithless knights, but ex-clerics and ex-paladins are known to join the ranks of the faithless.

Spells:

[Master Spellblade]

Tower Mastery is the best choice obviously, now you can get into the Tower of Nightkord.

Ha just kidding, and you might want read the Arcane Blade's level 4 POWER description.

These are all great though.

[Master Spellblade]

Um...I'm just kinda curios about how manyskill points the Faithless Knight gets per level. Did I just miss it?

[Sargon]

Imbed Spell: at 4th level, the arcane blade can imbed any one spell that he knows in his arcane blade. This spell-like ability requires a move-equivalent action and the arcane blade must give up that spell slot for the day to inbed the spell. The spell that is imbedded into the magic’s blade must specify a target. Thus sleep is not eligible since it dose not affect a “target creature.” The imbedded spell automatically affects the next target that the arcane blade successfully attacks with his magic’s blade. When the spell takes affect the magic’s blade is then “flushed” and it can hold another spell. A Arance blade can never have more then one spell imbedded at a time.


that is the part of the arcane blade i thought was a little too poweful, but they dont get much else in the way of cool spells, they brearly get +1 spell caster level, so im kidna up in the air about that one.

but yeah i dont have the faithless night skills up yet, im thinking same as pally. cus the faithlessknight are kinda a faithless pally.

[Master Spellblade]

I feel the Arcane Blade should keep the bastard sword so he can have one hand free to cast.

[Lord Kain]

Still missing those requirements to join the arcane blade

[Sargon]

lol im working on it

[Master Spellblade]

Could you explain some the Drifters Travelers tricks, like Fight with surrounding and how much of an increase for fast movement. And give us his skills, seriuosly.

[landamus]

Suggestion since you've been doing some cleaning already. Break the thread up for each class. The discussion is kinda convoluted.

[Sargon]

i will keep that in mind, im going to but a few races on here pretty soon too, so they will get there own trend.
