Prehaps remove the standard Arrancar from the Hollow Paragon class, and make it a PrC?
And of course, this obsession with Inner Hollow brings something to my attention...
No one but Shinigami can take it, at the moment.

suggested pretige class: Arrancar* prerequisites: - hollow level 5 +
- must realise and rip of own mask/have mask removed
Level | Benefit | 1 | Zankaputo, sealed form, resurreción | 2 | adv ability or shikai ability, sonido | 3 | Cero | 4 | adv ability or shikai ability |
[/tr] [tr][td]5[/td][td]Segunda Eparta**[/td][/tr][/tr] [/table] hit dice: d10 or base class skill points 6 or base class. An arrancar gains 4 more skills as class skills than a regular hollow class features:When taking a level in arrancar, the character will also progress in the bae class as if he took a level in the base class. weapon and armour proficiencies the arrancar gains proficiency in their zankaputo. they gain no other proficiencies Zankaputo: A hollow that has ripped of it's own mask seals it's hollow powers in the form of a zankaputo. This functions in the same was as a shinigami's zankaputo for determining form and style. just like a shinigami, the arrancar gains 2 zankaputo types, and can qualify for zankaputo feats. the hollow gains a number of shikai abilities equal to 1/2 their hollow paragon level, rounding up, + 1. the arrancar's zankaputo has the same enhancement bonus as one of the hollow's natural weapons, or the bonus of an equally leveled warrior shinigami, whichever is higher. the zankaputo also retains any special properties of the chosen natural weapon sealed form: the hollow paragon has managed to regain a more human form from it's previous appearance. The more powerful the hollow, the more human the apperance - adjucha and vasto lordes have an almost fully human apperance, with just a small fragment of their mask and their hollow-hole to mark them as anything other than human. Gillian retain some of the characteristics of their previous form, and around 1/2 their mask. arrancar formed from regular hollows looks like their previous form placed over a human body, with just a damaged mask and a sword to show them as arrancar. The fragmented mask is the source of power for an arrancar, as well as a limiter. Arrancar no longer 'evolve' to a higher level of hollow (E:G a gillian arrancar will not become an adjucha at level 10) however, they do regain some mental functions, allowing them to add 2 to their charisma and either their wisdom or intelect. Whilst in the sealed form, Arrancar loose the benefits of any hollow ability that would change their form (extra limbs/increased size etc), even if they are obtained after becoming an arrancar, but retain any stat bonuses from thse abilities, as well as any hollow ability that does not change their apperance. arrancar in the sealed form do not have natural weapons. Resurreción: Any arrancar above 10th level is capable of performing a Resurreción for 15 SEP - in addition, due to the power of the hollow, they gain the constant release feat for free. A resurreción is a standard action, and lasts for 5 rounds. after 5 rounds, they may spend an additional 5 sep to extend the duration for another 5 rounds. Whilst in Resurreción, a hollow regains all of the hollow abilities that where sealed. it regans it's natural weapons in exchange for it's zankaputo, but all the zankaputo's enhancements are applied to the arrancar's natural weapons. it retains every shikai ability from the zankaputo. any shikai effect that would cause the arrancar to loose their zankaputo (such as summoning) causes them to loose their natural weapons. just like a shinigami in bankai, an arrancar in resurección doubles their number of hit points. if an arrancar ever looses the last fragment of their mask, they can no longer resume their hollow form to perform a ressureción, though they retain all other class features. hollow ability/shikai abilitity: at 2nd and 4th level, the arrancar can choose to take either 2 adititonal shikai abilities, or 1 hollow ability (which may be an advanced ability even if they would normally have no access to them). An arrancar of 12th level and higher (same level as what a shingami can get bakai) and of adjucha rank and higher can select bankai abilities, though these are only avaliable during ressureción. Sonido at 2nd level, arrancar gain the ability to move at blinding speeds, almost matching a shinigami's shunpo. this ability functions like a shinigami's shunpo, and begins at 5ft per SEP. it increases by another 5 feet every 2 levels the hollow advances, if the advances are in the arrancar class or not. Cero: starting from 3rd level, the arranncar can fire a cero, or 'hollow flash'. they gain the cero hollow abillity. segunda eparta: The very strongest and most advanced arrancar are capable of a second resureción, after their initial resurreción. This ability is avaliable to arrancar who evolved from adjucha or vasto lordes only and are level 20+. it costs a hollow x sep to go into secunda eparta, which lasts for 5 rounds. The arrancar must maintain both resureción and segunda eparta to gain the benefits of this ability. activating segunda eparta is a move equivelant action that can only be done during resureción. An arrancar in segunda eparta gains an aditional advanced hollow ability, a shikai ability and a bankai ability per arrancar level. they can redistribute all of their shikai and hollow abilities whilst in this form, though this is decided when the form/ability is obtained. a vasto lorde in segunda eparta can take 1 Joyas el disablos per 5 arrancar levels, and an adjuca can take 1/2 of their extra hollow abilities as vasto lorde only abilitites level 6+ after 6th level, the arrancar gains an aditional shikai/bankai ability at each even level, and an aditional hollow ability at each odd level. unlike before, they need to have access to advanced hollow abilities to take them, so, what do you all think? it's a little less cluttered than sticking it purely in hollow, and it represents ealry arrancar as well as aizen;s army *moving it out of the hollow paragon class and into one of it's own ** I don't like the current loose your mind version, so I'm suggesting anothr version here

Making Arrancar a Prestige Class would make Segunda Etapa Epic level only.. which, I'm not opposed too.. just pointing it out. Nods.
Inner Hollow will be added to Quincy / Fullbringer's soon ish.
Edit:
Tweak it to continue after 5th, and gain abilities like Visored at those levels. (Thus continuing Shikai powers.) Though I suggest only allowing Shikai/Bankai powers, and only can get Bankai powers if you are an Adjuchas Arrancar. (Level 10+)

wait, arrancar can get bankai powers? I did not know that. that seems like a kick in the teeth fr shinigami and vizards, what with vizards having to maintain 2 abilitites for that and shinigami not getting hollow powers as well as their bankai... I'm nervous about adding in the extra levels of arrancar, since if they can get even 1 shikai ability per level, then they'll eventually catch up to a shinigami's sword, though I suppose the fact they;re now giving up their prestige slot makes up for it . also, are all of the bleach prestige classes getting the continuing advance, or just vizard/arrancer?

Arrancar cannot get Bankai powers currently. Thought about adding it for Adjuchas/Vasto Lordes, though. (Specially since they get a lot less picks for Shikai powers now.)
Only Visored and Arrancar get +1 Shikai/Bankai/Hollow power.
Also, I suggest making it every even level for Visored and Arrancar at getting the +1 Shikai/Bankai/Hollow.

I'd suggest bumping the level for Arrancar up a bit. Maybe to level 5? And yeah, making Shikai abilities be every even level seems balanced.

true, but in exchange for that they have a slew of hollow powers, vastly increased stats and saves, leadership and 7d6 damage natural weapons as opposed to 2d10, so I felt it was fair for their sword to have less powers than a shinigami's nevertheless, I can see where you;re coming from. I'll go and add that adjucha level and upwards can take bankai abilitites mage king: taking this as soon as you can is kinda like shooting yourself in the foot, since you loose so much power staying as a basic hollow as opposed to even a gillian-arrancar. also, much like the vizard class, entry into this is pretty much DM says so, since you need their way of removing maks.

They way to remove a mask? Fight a shinigami and dodge a killing blow. Should've worked for Acidwire.

7d6? I thought this was removed and they were given Shinigami sword progression for damage.
Someone transferred PDFness without being smart. *Shifty eyes*

Wait...how does a hollow lose something by become an arrancar blackest of mages? He keeps his old class.

Post by blackestofmages on Sept 16, 2011 1:33:23 GMT -5
he looses something by becoming an arrancar as soon as possible, instead of wiating to evolve to an adjucha/vasto lorde - namely access to the nice abilties and some serious save bonuses, and free dominate at will I'd say that's woth waiting for

TECHNICALLY becoming an arrancar only mentions that it blocks you from Vasto Lorde. It doesn't say anything about Adjucha (then again, that's due to Arrancar not being its on class).
Plus Vasto Lorde has a pretty negative side effect in that you get no more hollow abilities and stop advancing. So I think most would rather go Arrancar.

hollow abilities for vasto lordes alone are being added, and the basic aquisition from the base class is being changed. also, even once they're level 16, they can still take the enhanced hollow abilities feats each other level for more abilities. trust me, vasto lordes are getting abilities, and they will be epic (well, near epic, 5 levels off epic...) and currently you can't become an arrancar without being an adjucha due to both requiring level 10, which is a bit silly since there was a gillian class espada, so that was changed. with this clas, you stop at the level of hollow you where when you took the class and even though this class grants abilities faster than being a basic hollow,you don't have those abilities forever - due to your hollow abilities working like a bankai going into this class as soon as possible looses you 5 points of each save, and access to advanced hollow abilities (you know, the good ones) and since you need to be level 10 to access ressureción regardless, you become a prety bad shinigami for a few levels, and then having 2 advanced abilities your whole character life (loosing out on things like gran ray cero, punco, descent speed etc)

Once you become an Arrancar or a Vasto Lorde, technically you stop gaining Hollow Abilities. Not sure if we will enforce this in the feat or not, since, it would kind of suck. However, Extra Vasto Lorde powers will be an epic feat likely, rather than the normal one allowing for bonus Vasto powers.
Please see: Sanity, I have little to spare.
