Now, if you get into the class at 4th level by being a wanker (and you can), it's overpowered. A CR 8 creature, or an 8th level NPC villain isn't even going to notice a CR 3 creature. The problem here is that it's actually better to do the munchkin-y thing, because if you try to do it as a straight class cleric, when you finally enter into the class at 8th level, the things you can summon are at least one level behind the power curve. You could also meet it at third as a Monk/Paladin/Cleric. You could meet the prereq at 7th level as a straight class cleric. What they actually do is promote multi-classing munchkinism. What Base Save requirements are for is to create a level barrier, and to ensure that certain classes really aren't eligible. This one's a little less straight forward. So now that we've covered that, lets move on to that Saving throw requirement. Guess what a Shadow's con score is? Now guess what it's strength score is? Normally, pretty awesome if that's your schtick. It grants a bonus to the strength and constitution of summoned creatures. Go ahead and count the number of summoning spells that require saving throws. It's a class that's focus is summoning things. With the master of shrouds, it's even worse. I want you to go ahead and count the number of Conjuration spells that actually require saving throws. It raises the DC of conjuration spells by 1.
Spell Focus Conjuration is a junk feat no matter what. Seems pretty straight forward, right? Lets tackle the feats first. Spells: Able to cast protection from good as a divine spell. Skills: Concentration 5 ranks, Knowledge (religion) 5 ranks, Spellcraft 5 ranks.įeats: Augment Summoning, Spell Focus (conjuration). To qualify to become a master of shrouds, a character must fulfill all the following criteria. Master Of Shrouds prereqs (and why they suck) For those that want to eat their desert first, skip to the next post. For those of you interested in some design breakdown, follow along and I'll explain myself. Whoever wrote the class had some great ideas, which were completely crippled by the prerequisites. This was a prestige class I always really liked in concept, but the reality of it made me very angry. It's abilities are quite good, and it has some awesome built in flavor. The Master of Shrouds is a prestige class from the Libris Mortis that centered around summoning and controlling incorporeal undead.
