==Unofficial Woldian Prestige Classes==

Warning! None of these are approved for PC use. DMs may use them for NPCs -- but check with Jerry!

The Ursine Outrider - debated and revised, but never approved. Here are two versions: The [http://www.woldiangames.com//archives/index.html?game=organ&start=1144193389&end=1153333659 original longer 10-level version] and the [[UrsineOutriderRevision|later revised 5-level version]].

[http://www.woldiangames.com/dm_resource/groups/stone_fist.htm The Stone Fist Fraternity] and the associated [http://www.woldiangames.com/dm_resource/groups/brother_stone.htm Brother of the Stone Fist].

The [[Woldian Path Walker]] -- an alternative Horizon Walker -- was never approved.

Here is a very early version of the [[Cradled]] now no longer used, called the [[Cradled Emissary]].

A very different and complex version of the Cradled, now revised out of existence, can be found [http://www.woldiangames.com/Woldipedia/index.php?title=Cradled&oldid=12769 here].

==Thoughts on playing dragon-oriented classes==

Ken E asks: If a character asks for permission to make a Draconic Bloodline Sorcerer or a Dragon Disciple, do I as a DM have the ability to say yes and then inform you, or do I need to seek your permission before I can give a player the go ahead?

Jerry answers: The DM should dig into why the PC wants to take this class, etc. Then the DM should ask the player to email me to ask for permission. We treat Draconic Bloodlines, Dragon Disciple, Shapeshifter, etc. all the same.

Dragons are special. They are also very jealous of their status. If they EVER catch a whiff of a "mortal" being [and yes that's how Dragons view us] either with dragon blood in them or actually having the gall to become a dragon disciple or as a shapeshifter or druid, etc. turning into a dragon form, they will be.....angry. A Dragon Disciple can truly expect a True Dragon to come after him personally at some point in his career.

This is a high danger PC, similarly to playing a priest of the Gods of Testing. It is borderline allowable. I retain the right to refuse the PC if I feel that is warranted. So I give personal permission for any PC builds involving dragons.

It is part of the flavor of the Wold.

==Oracle Mysteries & Devotion==

''These were the rules used for Woldian oracles when that class was allowed.

Oracles do not need to specifically honor a Woldian god or immortal power. Instead, each Oracular Mystery is linked with or tied to one of the Woldian Planes of Existence:
* '''Battle''' links to the Estates of Unrest, where many dead souls test themselves in constant warfare, hoping to prove worthy of another life.
* '''Bones''' links to the nightmare realm of Kosh Marr, where the undead are rulers.
* '''Flame''' links to the Elemental Plane of Fire.
* '''Heavens''' links to the Realm of Shadows, a plane of gloaming, of voids, and of cold, bright stars.
* '''Life''' links to Haven Far, where many dead souls go for healing and rejuvenation before passing into their next life.
* '''Lore''' links to the Valleys of Twilight and the Lands of Yore, where wise Queen Maab holds court.
* '''Nature''' links to the Wold's Cradle, home of the fey, a natural wonderland.
* '''Stone''' links to the Elemental Plane of Earth.
* '''Waves''' links to the Elemental Plane of Water.
* '''Wind''' links to the Elemental Plane of Air.

The following revelation is open to all oracles:

''Homecoming (Sp): Once per day, as a spell-like ability, you can move yourself across dimensions to travel to the plane with which your oracular mystery is affiliated, or you can return to the Wold from that plane. This is exactly as if you had simultaneously cast Plane Shift and Planar Adaption as a single standard action, affecting only yourself, with the Planar Adaptation lasting for so long as you are on the other plane. You can use this ability once per day at level 7, and an additional time per day at level 13. At 10th level and higher, you may also affect up to one other creature per oracle level that you have. You must be at least 7th level to choose this revelation.''
