Ruby of Old Port

[Howlando]

EDIT: This prestige class is probably not currently suitable for play.

Information: The Rubies of Old Port are the highly elite soldiers, guards, and agents of Count Senuspur of Old Port. Further information is best learned in game.

Requirements:

This is a very difficult class to earn, suitable really only for those players who are seriously interested in a major long-term character that will take up a lot of time. Also keep in mind that playing a Ruby may eventually involve having to spend a lot of time away from other players and may even be boring.

If you wish to be a Ruby, you should let us know (OOC'ly with an app/player notes as well as - at the appropriate time - IC correspondence to the Rubies themselves). However do not expect to receive specific instructions or guidance. All your character will be told IC'ly is - "Impress us" - and it is exactly that which your character must figure out how to do.

Generally Rubies begin their career as clandestine agents, spies, infiltrators who work to destroy the enemies of the Count. As time progresses and their cover gets blown they transition into a role that is more public and direct.

Mechanical Adjustments:

This prestige class works differently than most prestige classes. Essentially the "Ruby" levels are completely separate from your normal classes. So you continue to gain/lose levels normally (fighter, rogue, ranger, whatever is appropriate....) but with different (very major) IC accomplishments, you gain a "Ruby Rank" and with that comes different kinds of bonuses (for example, you are given some feats or other perks).
