    [​IMG] I've heard rumours that the expansion will include prestige classes. Is this true? If so, what classes will be offered? Does anyone know?

    They aren't rumors, bioware has confirmed that SoU will have prestige classes.
    Arcane Archer, Assassin, Blackguard, Harper Scout and Shadowdancer will be in the expansion.

    Too bad there is no Prestige Class for my NG Cleric like the Divine Disciple. I guess I should pick some of the many new feats to achieve these goals. :)

    [​IMG] I was hoping for Purple Dragon Knight...But I guess that is too FR specific

    Same could be said about the Harpers. It is all set in FR. Maybe Purple Dragon Knights are too Cormyr specific... :D

    [​IMG] I read the description of the Blackguard...Pretty cool, but one thing stood out

    Level 3: Turn Undead?!?!?! Why would an evil pc turn undead? I think a Blackguard should get "Control Undead" at level 3. Giving the Blackguard a chance to gain allies in battle.

    I mean, the Blackguard get the reverse of the cure spells, why not the revers of turn undead? Or at least a "Turn Living" option?

    What do you think?

    Yeah,it would make really much more sense.Blackguard are evil charakters,so hoe could they turn undead?A paladin or cleric has the power of a god,but a Blackguard havn't it.The Blackguard have the power of demons,and undead are of demonic nature,so why couldn't he control them?

    Undeads are demons? Never heared that before. I thought undeads were just... undeads.
    But Sir Belisarius is right. An evil cleric should be able to Rebuke Undead. And an anti-paladin would be able to rebuke undeads, too, methinks.

    Yeah,but undeads are evil,arn't they.And also demons are evil.So there's the evidence that undeads are demons ;) .
    Imo dead can only be raised to undeads with the power of demons.So a Blackguard wich has a pact with them should be able to control them.

    Undead are not related to demons.

    According to the DMG, the Blackguard should get the Command Undead ability at third level.

    So, if a priest of Cyric were to raise a skeleton, he would not actually be calling on his god, but on some demon? Strange.

    Hopefully soon, though. I'm already planning a half-elven fighter/bard/arcane archer character for my guild's PW which goes live Friday! It would've been nice to have a little more information about the class before I planned a character around it.

    I'm planning to advance like 1-Bard, 2-Fighter, 3-brd, 4-brd, 5-ftr, 6->10-brd, then only advance in of arcane archer levels. At level 5, I'll take weapon focus: longbow and weapon specialization: longbow.

    As you might be able to tell, I'm a little excited about it. :D

    I checked that "bit of info" and it's nothing that you can't get from checking out the prestige classes in the d20 rules that are posted online (e.g. SRD - Prestige Classes ). A little more detail about how they would be implemented in NWN would be nice. :nolike:
