Editing Sharess (section)

==Worshippers==
===Celebrant of Sharess===
The Celebrant of Sharess is the goddess's foremost prestige class. However it is neither a reckless nymphomaniac, nor is it an evangelical cleric. Instead it is a warrior arcanist that crosses a little bit of Enchanter with a little bit of Barbarian.

It relies on rules from the [[Book of Exalted Deeds]] and you need two Exalted feats to qualify, meaning your character has to maintain a <u>Good</u> outlook, and specifically a Chaotic Good alignment. Aside from this the class needs seven points in Diplomacy and Perform skills to qualify; that's it. So pretty much anyone who worships Sharess can qualify.

From there, you get Charisma-based Arcane spellcasting from a limited spell list up to level 4 spells, along with a [[Cat]] familiar.

The class also comes with some spell-like & supernatural abilities that allow you pull off an effect similar to ''Bardic Music'' where you can fascinate, compel or even force people to fall in love with each other on failed saves.

The [[Barbarian]] comparison comes from the fact that in addition to all the magical stuff listed above, they can enter a [[Rage]] a number of times per day, using exactly the same mechanic. They can also perform full attacks as part of a charge action and may ALSO ''Haste'' themselves as an extraordinary ability.

The only downsides include a shitty BAB progression that doesn't result capitalize on the benefits of having combat abilities, and the only good save is Will. So it appears the class doesn't know what it wants to be.

However, it could be a powerful extra class for the group's warrior who want to pick up a few Arcane tricks while also augmenting their own fighting prowess with actions they couldn't otherwise do. But because it doesn't improve existing spellcasting of any type, it is practically useless for Clerics or Wizards.

===Glorious Servitor (of Bast)===
Sharess's other prestige class from '''Lost Empires of Faerûn''' turns your character into a pseudo-lycanthrope as befits a member of a beast-cult. It requires Improved Turning and 2nd Level Divine casting to qualify for this class, but [[What|has nothing to do with those features]], so it's a bit of an odd ball class that takes your cleric career into a dead end. 

Instead, the Glorious Servitor prestige class let's you turn into a Leopard at level 1, then gives you increasing buffs as you progress, such as +6 AC and +3 STR while in animal form, and also giving Spell Resistance, Poison Immunity and eventual transformation into an ''Outsider''. Despite the bizarre entry requirements, This class at least has an attempt to theme, but competes against a [[Druid]] for the shapeshifting party role. But is stuck with one form and no spell progression.

===Dancers of Sharess===
Introduced in ''Dragon Magazine'', this prestige class combines divine spell casting with aspects from the wizard, monk and ranger archetypes. Creating something rather awesome.

You are required to be able to cast 3rd level divine spells as a condition for entry, but thankfully the class continues with full spellcasting progression. It also grants you a [[Cat]] familiar that will make you the bane of 1st level commoners everywhere. Also, rather uniquely your familiar increases in ability based on your character level rather than class level ''(this is a good thing)'', so you can get a solid companion even if you don't progress with this class fully.

What's more, is that from level 3 onwards, gain the class feature to polymorph your familiar into a much larger animal. Giving you your own MIGHTY BATTLECAT!

Other cool features include passive +2 bonuses to Dexterity and Charisma based skill checks, +4 bonus to Diplomacy and +2 DC bonuses on enchantment spells and to your resistance against enchantment.

We mentioned [[Ranger]] earlier, well you get favored enemies, but rather than races, you target members of a specific organisation chosen from the Churches of [[Merrshaulk|Set]], [[Shar]] or [[Vhaeraun]]. Giving you yet more passive bonuses to skills and damage against them.

Also, you can literally make an opponent cream his pants on a melee touch attack, essentially stunning them for one round ''(or 1d4+1 rounds at 10th level)'' so long as they have a nervous system that works, so no jerking off creatures that are undead or goo girls.

The final ability of the class allows you to substitute verbal components of enchantment spells for performance checks ''(specifically dancing)''. Meaning that you practically have the Silent Spell ability for enchantments without needing to prepare ahead of time or increase your slot level.

All in all this is probably the best prestige class for Priests of Bast, giving some really unique features that theme quite well with a deity of both pleasure and war.
