I am currently about to join a game at my college and was looking through the classes trying to figure out what would be interesting to play. I have DMed a little for 3e but dont have a lot of knowledge about prestige classes/savag species stuff. I was verry interested in the Illithid Savan but I had a few questions about his powers. 1) Can he gain points in a skill he already posses(ex he eats a mages brain and the mage has a higher spellcraft score than he does, could he trade up? 3) Class abilitys. What are these? Do these includ spell like abilitys like a blink dog's blink ability? 4) If im not mistaken with a little care could a savant gain a near limitless amount of spells? If any of you could hep me it would be greatly apreciated.
"We pity him. We hate him. We fear him—all because there is a little of him in each of us, though we admit it to ourselves only in the darkest part of the night." —Justarius, Time of the Twins
Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I’ve tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate to know that for destruction ice is also great and would suffice. – Robert Frost (1874 - 1963)
