| Welcome to Imythess, the border between dreams and reality. We hope you enjoy your visit. Imythess is a creative writing board where you narrate the story of a character in the medieval land of Imythess, on the planet Chaon. Each topic is an opportunity for your character to interact with the world and its peoples by cooperatively writing pieces of a story with other members, one post at a time. We call this role-playing, because you assume the identity of your character as if it were your own. In order to play, you must register an account for each character you would like to write about, and begin their tale by filling out their basic profile information: Race (human, elf, demon, etc.), class (warrior, mage, etc.), physical appearance, and any other personal details you would like to describe. You are also encouraged to come up with some background history information for what your character's life has been like up to the point at which their story in Imythess begins. There is no approval process or application required to join, so long as you follow the rules then you are free to write whatever character details you choose. Registration is simple, fast, and completely free. Create a character now! If you're already a member, you can log into your account below: |

Prerequisites Checklist:
Why should you accept this custom PrC concept? This PrC is what I feel is a really good class for those who don't want to just blast others with magic from afar and instead want to get up close and personal, which is a really good fit for Sen himself, since he uses both weapons, unarmed combat, and magic to fight. Also beserkers are awesome! Rageflame Beserker Custom PrC: Sen Montague While many a great mage have learned to control their rage and prevent it from clouding their decisions, it is your greatest strength. You have learned to let it flow through you, and now, no one is able to escape the heat of your fury. Abilities listed are all magical. Prerequisites
<This is where your pricing table will go.> Level One
Level Two
Level Three
Level Four
Level Five

Level One: Simmering Fury: Please make sure to use the mild/moderate/major descriptors when defining bonuses or penalties in abilities. Taking into account I am thinking you mean a mild bonus to spell damage and a mild bonus to Unarmed Combat damage, this would need to be an activated ability. As a latent effect, it is too strong for a level one ability. Level Two: Flame of Rage: I am unsure what you mean by " are given a boost in both explosive power and burn intensity." Fire resistance is fine, although I must say there are other sources of fire resistance and immunity already out there,which means you could nix this ability and use the ability slot for something else if you wish to. Searing Fists: Again, please use mild/moderate/major descriptors for stat bonuses and penalties. Judging from wording, you are going for a large boost here to strength and speed, and dealing moderate fire-based damage. This is a level two ability, you would need to pick one of these effects, but not both. Also, I must remind you that magical effects don't stack; Simmering Fury and Searing Fists are two similar abilities in your ability tree, but Searing Fist would overwrite and cancel Simmering Fury if activated at the same time. You may want to have one or at most two abilities with similar effects, so you can broaden the range of buffs or abilities available to you in the name of variety/entertainment. Level Three: Burning Charge: Extensive physical damage coupled with severe burns for a level three ability is too much, it needs to be decreased in intensity, or the ability moved to a different level. This ability will also need a use limiter, although I cannot give you a suggestion as the ability reads now. Toned down, perhaps twice per fight? Once per opponent with a mana fatigue/physical fatigue factor? Summon Tracker Flames: It might be best to find a different ability if this one mimics a spell in the shops so closely. It is often best to try and find abilities for a cPrC that are unique and cannot be obtained, or at least not easily obtained, via the shop system. Level Four: Bar-Rage: The amount of damage you can inflict might be a bit much for this, but is more on par with a level 4 ability. A two post cool down is too much though; this either needs a use limiter or a fatigue {mana, physical) limiter to avoid spam usage, given it IS a bit powerful. Level Five: Purple Rageflame Overdrive: There are far too many effects going on here, and many of them are too strong even for an apex ability.
There is no duration listed for this ability, and there needs to be one even after it is clipped down some. Mitigating negative effects of using this ability with skill levels which you should and probably will have automatically is not really productive in allowing the level of insanity in this ability ![]() Overall: You have a tight niche, but I think you could be a little more inventive within your chosen niche here. Some of these abilities are represented to one degree or another by other PrC's [Infernos] or spells available in the shops [Fire Magic; Tattoo shop]. There are some themes that repeat [Strength/speed boosts] that you could probably replace with other effects. However, if you want to work with what you have, we can. We will need to prune some of these abilities back rather harshly, though, as they are WICKED strong

A new version with Aey's suggestions taken into account! Also I made some personal tweaks to the abilities! Prerequisites Checklist:

Minor points: Usage limits should he expressed either in uses per battle or uses per so many posts. It keeps abilities cleaner and less cluttered. I should also point out that Raging Berserker will give more rage options than what you have listed here. 1: two rounds out of three is fine, but a little complex. Maybe up to every other round? Also, this ability is actually worse than the Infernos ability inner fire. 2: Aura of rage: so....this has 5 rounds between uses? Three round duration for a level two is a little much, maybe drop it to two rounds. This doesn't affect the user, correct? Burning Ora Ora: Fine. Attacks can be duplicated with Flaming weapon enchantment and standard attacks, as well as probably Primal Fist fire branch. 3: is ok, can be duplicated by flaming enchantment paired with Meteoric Strike from Ancient Ascetic off. Armor of rage: duplicated to some degree by magic shield from durothils shop. Only added bonus is maybe being able to absorb epic hits. Also, does this need to be active in advance or is this something you can us on the fly? 4: same as burning charge. Shockwave effect is only real difference. 5: Severe damage needs to be changed to heavy. Armor effectiveness will he taken as damage mitigation. We we have moderate/major damage mitigation + all attacks cause heavy melee damage + moderate fire damage? A concern here would be stacking this with a martial Prc set of abilities. It is not possible to stack magical buffs....but stacking this with, say, Takedown would be ridiculous. I would recommend changing abilities to make them more unique but it is not required, just a suggestion. Keep in mind you get 1 cPrC per character! |
