Regarding Heartless Acolytes

[elleofemeff]

Right, so here's my situation:

I've got a Shinigami I've been playing for several sessions now. Just recently, I took my first level in the 'Heartless Acolyte' Prestige Path. Now, when he reaches the final level of this path, the text says, and I quote, "They fully become hollows, and may take the Hollow Growth Power feat regardless of their race to increase the number of hollow growth powers they have".

What I wish to know is if he also can take Prestige Paths for Hollows now.

Hmm...I would probably say yes. Since it states that they are fully hollows then I would think that you could. That's the way I would play it at least (I could be totally wrong).

Though the only thing I might say to no with that is the fact there are no other feats that allow a player to take on the prestige paths of the other races (besides the oldblood feats at level 1).

But since it says you are a hollow, I would definitely vote yes on this topic!

I'm going to ask the other Devs about this and come to a consensus. It's a gray area.

[elleofemeff]

I apologize for just reviving the thread out of the blue, but after looking through the book again recently I found that there is a way.
Going through all 5 levels of Outcast would allow me to go through with this.

I'd still like to ask, would taking Outcast be absolutely necessary?

[orphen]

I would assume yes since that's the only way besides having oldblood that allows someone to take hollow feats.

The heartless Acolyte allows you take Hollow feats at the end of it. However I would as would propably my DM would restrict the final level of Heartless Acolyte to ony allow them to take the Hollow Growth Power feat.
