Zelyhon Don't make it a prerequisite. I'd say that for Cyntos, it ought to be based on Charisma, similar to a paladin. Also, all offensive spells, obviously. None of that wimpy defensive magic stuff.

Is it Sorcerers that are CHA based? I think Warlocks are.
I should ask my DM about this. I'm not sure if he's played God of War, but it's worth a shot.

Arcane Draconum Zelyhon Don't make it a prerequisite. I'd say that for Cyntos, it ought to be based on Charisma, similar to a paladin. Also, all offensive spells, obviously. None of that wimpy defensive magic stuff. Actually it's a simple matter of creating either a -very- constrained list to spontaniously cast from, or possibly even go so far as to give only certain spells x/day to more closely emulate Kratos himself (I'd rather avoid that if possible). Also, unless they're already at epic levels on their casting stat, the PC's only going to get 4 casts of a level per day if they're lucky, so it's not terribly broken on the casting.

None of that wimpy defensive magic stuff. ...XD Dur, I knew that. And yeah, slower spell progression would be needed, but for a character based on Kratos, I don't imagine him using any pansy-ish defense spells.

Arcane Draconum I'm gonna withhold opinions until I see the offensive spell list that you come up with, but currently I see a prestige class that can possibly be taken as soon as level 6, depending on DM, that boasts a D10 hit dice, one of the strongest possible dual wielding weapons with increased reach, and the possibility of offensive magic as well. I know how you feel. Right now I'm contemplating dumping the D10 for D8, Possibly raising the BAB requirement and/or adding non-barbarian skill requirements. I did add the slow damage to the flaming version of the blades of chaos to try to balance a little bit, and I can easily drop the 15' reach at upper levels, because the more I look at that the more I think it's just a little much. Also, for the offensive magic list, I'm not going to have more than about 3-4 spells per spell level, and no spell above about 6th level will be on the list. edit: It's going to be Saturday or Sunday before I have a spell list it seems. Dont' have time left today to work on one.

edit: changes made for now, still looking into further changes. Spell list in progress... this could take a few days! gonk

upon review of the spells and items Kratos gets in the game, I think I may need to actually give spell like or supernatural abilities a certain number of times per day, because one of the abilities is covered in the Gaze of the Enemy class feature. I was thinking of giving the Call lightning spell, but limiting it per the Call Lightning Storm spell (15 bolts per casting). I was also thinking of heavily modifying the Abyssal Army spell (spell compendium) from the spell compendium, because it does almost the same thing as Army of Hades, but I would have to limit it in the extreme, simply because of what the spell summons. There's also a interesting variation of magic missile that I forgot to write down that has roughly the same thing as Army of Hades damage wise. It's also in the spell compendium. I'm going to see if I can track it down again.

Decision has been made to make the spells a supernatural ability a number of times per day. Progression will most likely be similar to the spellcasting table unless someone has recommendations for spells. Spells from any official published supliment will work, or a PDF e-mailed to be with the spell in it would be good too.
Current spells being considered to turn into spell like abilities:
Fireball - the detonation affect radiates from the cyntos, damage type is divine instead of fire.
Call Lightning - limited to 15 bolts like Call Lightning Storm, Damage as per the Call Lightning spell.
Chain Missile - this one is from the spell compendium, for those of you that play NWN think the Ivard's missle swarm spells - modify spell to where the missiles that are spawned target enemies within 20ft instead of just one initial target, then ricoheting into other targets.

Ok, I bought and have been playing God of War... and I'm glad I have. I now know all 4 of the in game spells fairly well, and I have to say that giving even some of them as spell like ablilities will fit much better with the conversion of the class. I might even have to go so far as to make it a base class for the sake of balance, because the spells could get a little crazy as they progress.

Yeah, that's all he plays when it comes to video gaming, now. I can't wait till we start playing multi-player stuff again! stare
