Risen Martyr PrC [BoED]
« on: April 19, 2014, 04:30:35 PM »
Out of curiosity, if you were forced to build a pre-epic level character and you must take all 10 levels of the Risen Martyr prestige class what's the best option? And what kinds of tactics would you employ?

The Tier System for PrCs thread gives the Risen Martyr a +1 but I'm having trouble seeing what makes that the case?

Thanks,
Necro

Well... yeah, kind of hard to see. It might be OK for a 1 level dip on a sorcerer, or paladin, but this line in the capstone makes it unusable as a dip, it seems:
Quote
Final Ascension: When a 10th-level risen martyr has earned enough experience points to gain his next level, his perfected, spiritual body is taken whole into the upper planes.
A risen martyr cannot advance in any class other than risen martyr in order to delay his final ascension. Once he rises and adopts this prestige class, he must continue to gain risen martyr levels and no levels in any other class.

That level 3 ability is massively spamable.
Go conquer parts of the Underdark.

The prc feels like smushing DvR Zero
into a Dragon Disciple-esque trainwreck.

Commoner 6 is easy qualifying.
Any 2 base classes 1, so long as all 3 base saves are Good.
3 Bloodline levels between 1 and 2 ... (call it The Chosen People bloodline, yes?)
2 feats from cityscape, 1 prereq feat, the ranks, and the language (via bloodline)

idk how much use or useful the spell list expansion at level 10.
Cleric with DMM Heighten and cheese, otherwise ... wtf
Your codpiece is a mimic.

What about an item creator (AKA Artificer) with this PrC?  You delay the inevitable, and may cause Inevitables to come after you.
