Initiate of the Horradrum

Like many people, I have really enjoyed playing Diablo, and Diablo II. Although I never really liked playing the sorcerer, as I tended to enjoy playing the Rogue and Amazon. However, I was fascinated by the charecter Cain. With a name like Cain, you would have imagined that he had done something worse, but as he is the descendent of Cain, I would assume...

All of this is beside the point. Fact is, I'm a freak of the game as anyone else, and when I bought the supplement, I was very unsure I would want the classes accessable. The spells were not quite balance out, and needed to be fiddled upward most of the time. Although I do like the book, I felt that standard classes would work better, especially since at the time, my idea was that the last brother, Baal, would visit a side demension to wreak havok and plunder it for souls to add to his army. With this in mind, I started to plan Prestige Classes that would combine the aspects of both games, and here you go.

Once per item, by examining it, and holding it in the way it is ment to be used, the Initiate has a 10% chance per level of identiying the item. The Initate can only attempt this once per item, no matter how much time has passed inbetween attempts.

Any spell cast by the Initiate has a 10% chance of not being exhasted, retaining the spell for yet another casting. This spell, however, must be equal to or less then the level of the Initiate. (For example, a 2nd level Initate could try to retain a Glitterdust (a 2nd level Spell), but not a Lightning Bolt (a 3rd level spell) This is a Supernatural ability.
