noob question

Post by erkowich »

I havent start playing the game yet. I am looking through the prestige classes and the Pale Master looks cool. One of the requirements is:

· Spellcasting: Ability to cast 3rd level arcane spells.

At gamespot.com it says:
Most of the spells listed below are arcane spells, which means that you'll need to have a sorcerer or wizard in your party to cast them. Some of them can be cast by divine spellcasters, as well, so bringing along a priest or druid may be helpful. Some are castable by any class. Most well-balanced parties, though, will have at least one divine and one arcane spellcaster in them, so it shouldn't be too difficult to cover all the bases.

So... I must start as a Sorcerer or a Wizard to become a "Pale Master"?

cheers

Or perhaps a warlock; not sure. What does your manual state?

No. It's confusing, I know, but arcane is meant to refer only to mage style spells, not clerics, rangers and such, who get prayers...which are spells. ;) Bear in mind, you need a certain number of levels as a Sorc (let's say) to become a Pale Master, so you could still have 5 levels as a cleric and X number for Sorc, and qualify.

If you read the class descriptions in the manual, it tells you what kind of spells they cast.

Bard, Wizard or Sorcerer are the only classes you can take to get that prestige class. Wizard gets access to the Pale Master prerequisites first, then Sorc, then Bard.
