Talk:Monks of Time and History (3.5e Prestige Class)

Question

Exactly, how many years does the ritual remove??? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.221.198.36 (talk • contribs) 16:46, 25 January 2007 (MST). Please sign your posts.

I interpret it as saying that when someone completes the ritual they may make the "willing subject" any age they want however they get older by doing this (12d6 years older). This ability needs a re-write and possibly instead of the d6's added on to age a % increase in the age so races that do not live as long are not punished. Thanks a lot for bringing this up, and I would love to see it fixed. --Green Dragon 16:26, 25 January 2007 (MST)

I Just Updated the Class

I am a D&D addict and have also read every discworld book, most multiple times. I like the base idea that was here and hope my alterations are found to be fitting. Ultimately, I really like the fact that someone decided to try this. I believe it's now complete, if anyone has any questions on it, email me at Discworld7a@aol.com —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.145.199.234 (talk • contribs) 14:52, 14 March 2007 (MST).

I feel that the inner tranquility is rather useless. If anything it is even inconsistent with what the class represents. As well as other thing, if anyone has an objection, I will get at it. I'm asking because whoever posted it said he felt like he had it perfect or something. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by T G Geko (talk • contribs) 19:23, 27 December 2007 (MST).

Rating 10/10

I give this Prestige Class a 10/10 because after much modification, it is a worthy prestiege class to award a character meeting the criteria required. The average level for a character who has attained the first level of this Prestiege class is 7th, and mirrors the origional intent of following the Monks of Time and History from Terry Pratchett's Discworld novel "Thief of Time" quite well after much modification. --—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.145.199.234 (talk • contribs) 12:11, 19 March 2007.

... it's highly unorthodox to allow the choice between two abilities a some level (the only real precedents I can think of are 1) the ranger, and that is not a choice between two separate abilities, just between two facets of the same ability, and 2) the rogue, who gains a special rogue ability at 10th level). In both cases there seems to be better rationalization than there is for the choice in this class... I don't like it. Would you care to explain the rationale in providing the choice? —EldritchNumen 16:58, 19 March 2007 (MDT)

Should this rating be nullified? — Blue Dragon (talk) 23:14, 20 March 2007 (MDT)

Yes. The sands of time (or whatever) class feature does not say what type of divination spell it counts as, and the time slice class feature should only affect the monk (not enemies of the monk). The rating says that it would need much modifacation to be a worthy class, and I think it does need a little tinkering with. And a class shouldn't be rated on how well it represents a book, but on how good the class is, how balanced it is and how good it's flavour is. --Sam Kay 13:24, 13 August 2007 (MDT)

Luckily the rating has been removed for quite some time :). --Green Dragon 15:24, 13 August 2007 (MDT)

Looks like 207.145.199.234 worked on it him/her self anyway... He/she is rating their own work! --Sam Kay 08:33, 18 August 2007 (MDT)

And this is not the first instance of that :P. --Green Dragon 11:25, 18 August 2007 (MDT)

Perhaps we should set up rules that forbids it (so if it does happen we delete the rating). Perhaps only users should be allowed to rate stuff. That way, we have better assurance that the ratings are accurate. --Sam Kay 12:25, 18 August 2007 (MDT)

Oh... That could be a bit restrictive. Anyway, if you really want to get it changed this is not the place to discuss it. Talk:3.5e Classes would be the best place, thanks. --Green Dragon 13:43, 18 August 2007 (MDT)

Have added it. --Sam Kay 14:29, 18 August 2007 (MDT)

Rather Unorthodox

The Monk of Time has some differences from the average monk Prestige class

• Most of them have equal saving throws
• Require Lawful, not non-evil alignment
• Allow the Monk to retain his previous abilities (or is it continue to progress?)

I am just asking for this to be fixed, as the above are kinda the defining factors of a monk. --T G Geko 19:23, 27 December 2007 (MST)
