A subject quite taboo, the art of fleshcrafting has been subject to multiple controversies over the years. Some become the reviled [[Fleshcrafter, Liber Demonica (3.5e Prestige Class)|fleshcrafter]] taking cues from the ''Prison of Flesh'', others instead of focusing on grafts work on the flesh of others (although sometime their own as well). The esoteric maker is one of those, working using bioelectricity to revive the dead and eventually creating powerful [[Eiji Variant Flesh Golem (3.5e Monster)|flesh golems]].

====Class Features====

All of the following are class features of the Esoteric Maker.

'''{{Anchor|Spellcasting}}:''' At each level after the 1st, you gain new spells per day and an increase in caster level (and spells known, if applicable) as if you had also gained a level in a spellcasting class to which you belonged before adding the prestige class level.

If you had more than one spellcasting class before becoming a <-class name->, you must decide to which class to add each level for the purpose of determining spells per day, caster level, and spells known. 

'''{{Anchor|Esoteric Advancement}} {{Ex}}:''' Levels in Esoteric Maker stack with level in one previous class you possessed to determine the effectiveness of level-based abilities (such as sneak attack, bardic music, pathfinder sorcerer's bloodline) and any improvement for such abilities, with the exception of spellcasting (which is covered above) and bonus feats. This only apply if you have one or more level in either classes.
