There's a thread for requests, but yes it seems doable.

Also, in case it isn't clear yet, people who contribute to this project get their requests done faster.  :p

Oh wow I thought this was the requests thread.  But it isn't.  It's the general discussion thread. :facepalm

And yes I will certainly write up some feats, and post them in the Feats thread for your perusal.

Minor update in the Death Drinker, added a couple minor abilities at levels 1 and 2 (First Blood and Cull the Weak), added combat synergy to dispel magic and teleport, and cleaned around a little.

I'm interested in doing a template class for Evolved Undead, and Spell-Stiched Undead, but going by the guidelines they'd both end up as kinda boring (In my opinion, at least) 1-level deals. Is it OK if I expanded them into 3 or 4 level deals? I think they'd end as more interesting classes, but I've never really done something quite like this before, so I'm really not sure.

Evolved undead is a special case because it can be applied over and over, so go ahead and make it as big as you want.

As for spell-stitched, yes it should be 1 level long, and I can't see what would be the problem with that. Some DR, some SR, some SLAs, done. It wasn't a deep template to begin with.

But sure, you can go ahead and make a SpellStitched Lord or Greater Spellstitched expanding the 1 level prc if you want. You'll still have to fit the basics on the first level. Making it interesting is the challenge. I've seen 20-level long classes with no interest whatsoever, while other classes are amazing even if used as single dips (cough martial adepts cough).

I think I'll take a crack at the Marruspawn this weekend.

That's nice to hear, but could you also post your actions on the Nintendo Universe campaign? Only your character left to act for this turn.

Marruspawn: Multiple separate classes or classes that require each other like Prime is doing with the Undying?

Prime32's aproach (also used for the Naga, Troll and Kython among others I should point out) only works if the "greater" versions have the same abilities of the "lesser" ones.

So you can't use it with the Marruspawn, since the "lesser" one is a rogue true and trough while the "greater" versions are a soldier and an arcanist whitout sneaky abilities whatsoever.

True, but the soldier and the arcane one are soooooooooo booooooooooooring.

I also have no idea where to go with the abomination.

Osle, I did the base Githyanki, before I move on to the other iterations (soldier, gish, captain) will you check it out, since it's my first?

Then do just the sneaky one. If you can't think how to make a monster not boring, then it's best to tackle other one.

Technically they don't. The councilors don't have Smite Evil, and ascendant councilors actually lose one or two of the undying councilor's SLAs (and replace Cleansing with Purification). But those are pretty minor, especially at high levels, so I didn't see the harm.

Anyone want to try Greater Doppelganger or Ethereal Doppelganger? Maybe as Doppelganger PrCs. (if I remember ED's abilities right, it could be a PrC which requires some levels of GD but not all)

Ooh, that sounds fun.  I can do them after the Githyanki & Githzerai are done.

I've written up a monster-specific Prestige Class. Should I post it in the monster's thread or in its own separate thread? I'll probably need help rebalancing it from other people, so I don't want to clog the other thread, but spinning it off into its own seems unnecessary. Thoughts?

You can post it here. The templates have been basically treated as Monster Prcs already so no problem.
