    I'm fairly unfamiliar with the whole "prestige class" thing. How exactly do you create one? Can you select them from the beginning of your game, or do you become that class later on when you meet certain requirements? If so, how long does it usually take to make the transformation? Will they be available throughout the entire game, ie the original campaign (which I still have yet to beat)?

    Thanks. I'm lost and silly. :roll:

    A prestige class is the same as any other class, except there are certain requirements that you must meet before you can take a level in it (such as certain feats, attack bonus, race, etc.), and they don't count as a multiclass when determining XP penalties.

    Ah. So it's basically a new class kit you "unlock," eh? Interesting.

    [​IMG] It's pretty interesting to play a prestige class; it adds spice to the game. I actually play a lvl-4 fighter/ lvl-4 rogue in SoU and I'm about to decide wether I want to be a harper scout or a shadowdancer.

    I have all the reqirements for a shadowdancer and for the harper scout I'm lacking the two feats alertness and iron will, but then, harper scout only has 5 levels, allowing me to add more (needed) fighter level, gaining more feats :roll: On the other hand the shadowdancer has d8 hitpoints and cool abilities ... :spin: That much for the powergaming part.

    Seriously, IMO the prestige classes, the two I tried out at least, are pretty promising and, when I tried them out a bit I liked both.

    Hmm. Just a thought. What about a Bard/Arcane Archer/Shadow Dancer? I'm envisioning a sneaky elf who pops up out of nowhere, fires several arrows into a target's backside, then vanishes when they turn around only to pop up in a different location. Rinse, repeat as needed. :evil:

    Perhaps aim for an eventual Brd 8/AA 10/ SD 2.
