Talk:Paramander (3.5e Prestige Class)

Origins

I heard of this class long, long ago. I can't remember it now, but weren't they some kind of paladin mages? I remember they used to have a spell, Azure Flame. I was just looking for the paperwork on this class myself, thanks for digging it out.--Cypresslyshra 22:41, 15 February 2007 (MST)

The name came from a Dragon article on non-LG Paladins. The Paramander was a true neutral variety. Sad to say, I've long since lost my copy of the magazine. Oh, my. I think I just found the article.

I'm not trying to reproduce the original Paramander; I'm just borrowing the name for a prestige class with a similar purpose. Come to think of it, I'll have to make sure that's not a copyright violation. --Cúthalion 22:55, 15 February 2007 (MST)

I'm fairly sure it isn't, but it never hurts to check.

It wouldn't be obvious to me anyway if it was copyrighted, since I only found the palamander in documentation, the old stuff my old DM and I wrote down--Cypresslyshra 23:03, 15 February 2007 (MST)

Prereqs

That's a helluva lot of skill requirements to fill to take this class. Too demanding? Usually 3 or 4 skills is a good max... --EldritchNumen 23:36, 15 February 2007 (MST)

What would you recommend? --Cúthalion 09:30, 16 February 2007 (MST)

What you've done is very nice. Generally I think it's better to have a few skills with fairly high ranks than many with just a few; it signifies a character that is actually committed to a certain skill set, rather than one that dabbles (that may be sought after sometimes, but I don't think that is what you meant for this class). What you've done is much better. I like the number (4) of skills; it seems rigorous but not overly done. If you felt strongly, it would also still work with one more skill added back in (I would recommend sense motive, but spot might be good also) with 5 ranks, but I'd probably leave it as it is. Honestly, the skills thing was fairly nit-picky; otherwise this is an awesome class (I like the idea of a nature-y paladin). Well done! --EldritchNumen 15:08, 16 February 2007 (MST)

Thanks. :) --Cúthalion 20:12, 16 February 2007 (MST)
