Survivor - Monster Prestige Class
This Prestige class uses elements that may not be applicable to the Forgotten Realms Campaign
During their adventuring career, heroes - especially monster heroes - may find themselves the victims of mental domination, spells, and special attacks. Monster characters may prove especially vulnerable to magical attacks, given that their saving throws often lag significantly behind those of standard-race characters. For this reason, more than a few heroes set up training programs and academies where a character willingly undergoes a program of pain and torture. The students are subjected to frequent assaults to their bodies with cunning traps that challenge agility, psionic torment through mind-affecting spells and hired nonhumanoids, frequent draining attacks by controlled undead, and steady doses of weak poisons. Those who survive the program emerge a few weeks later - tougher, faster, and less vulnerable to attacks.
A survivor's past may lie in any class, as may his future. All that is required is mental and physical focus.
