[Tome of Necromancy] Wight Knight

Post by Maxus »

Placeholder for a martial PrC that gets nifty touch attacks based on energy/ability/level damage and the like.
He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

--The horror of Mario

Zak S, Zak Smith, Dndwithpornstars, Zak Sabbath. He is a terrible person and a hack at writing and art. His cultural contributions are less than Justin Bieber's, and he's a shitmuffin. Go go gadget Googlebomb!

Well.... it would be a Wight Template, or Racial Class; and then a Wight Paragon.

That's how the other undead were treated in Tome of Necromancy. Check out the other Undead Racial Class, and their Paragon Class.

While everyone's Philosophy is not in accord, that doesn't mean we're not on board.

I named it that based on the rhyme.

But the idea was that the Wight Knight gets the ability to do ability/other kinds of damage on a touch attack, then he gets to imbue his spawn, and, eventually, they're stealing the ability points to buff themselves and passing them around. At the end of 5 or 7 levels, the Wight Knight can do things like give up his own temporary buff to get the rest of the party.

Think undead support character.
