These are largely based on class options from OD&D, but their are a few flavor prestige classes (not explicitly mentioned in the source material). If you think something is missing, or have any comments, let me know! Air Wizard Avenger Azcan Eagle Knight Azcan Jaguar Knight Azcan Knight of the Winged Viper Balancer Chosen of Kagyar Darokinian Merchant Dominion Ruler Fire Wizard Hin Master Honorbound (OD&D Paladin) Milenian Cleric of Zargos Milenian Griffon Rider Milenian Holy Defender of Petra Milenian Mariner of Protius Milenian Midwife of Matera Milenian Red-Hair of Halav Milenian Sorceror of Zargos Minroth Merchant Prince Mystaran Knight Nithian Artificar of Ptahr Nithian Child of Pflarr Nithian Fang of Ravinorus Nithian Flame-bearer of Rathanos Nithian Horonii Nithian Lockmaster Nithian Mage-Scribe Nithian Montoth Nithian Runner Nithian Seal-bearer Nithian Templar Nithian Thanaton Nithian Thorn of Isiris Northman Hero Radiance Mage Radiance Shaman Shepard of Rad Treekeeper Ylarai Dervish -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 2] Author : Cthulhudrew Date : 09-23-05 10:30 PM Couldn't find the original thread where I posted these, but here's a list that I came up with some time ago- not all inclusive by any means, and some I'm just not sure about. Note that this only includes the traditional "Known World" nations- Sind, the Savage Coast, and the Hollow World haven't been included here. Agent of the DDC Alchemist Blue Eel Bratak Note: Bratak itself may not constitute a PrC. Perhaps different schools of Brataks might (such as the Silver and Gold dragon schools represented in Gaz12) Brother of the Grey Lady Brother of the Radiance Clan Blackflame Keeper Clan Forgekeeper Clan Treekeeper Cryptologist Darokin Guild Merchant Dracologist Elementalist Entropomancer Note: This is the Necromancer from Gaz3, renamed to something IMO more fitting to what its powers were- powers over death *and* life. Also, the Necromancer name probably needs to change due to the Necromancy specialization available in 3e. Eye of Krondahar Eye of the Serpent Fist of Khan Forester? Note: Not sure this should be a PrC. Depends on what the concept of the Forester is. Conceptually, it seems like its just a Ranger, but if one wants to play up the arcane magic/hunter aspect, it could very well be a PrC. Hattian Storm Soldier Hin Master Keshak Horse Warrior Knight of the Air Magian Fire-Worshipper Merchant Prince Minion of Atzanteotl Note: This isn't actually grounded in the Gaz's, but I thought a Vile PrC would certainly fit NPCs like Xilochtli. Order of the Arrow Order of the Griffon Order of the Lance Order of the Mace Order of the Pike Order of the Sands Order of the Spell Skirmisher Note: Have some ideas on this one in this thread (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=470999) Phantasmer Note: This is just the Illusionist secret craft from Gaz3. With the introduction of Illusionist specialists and powers from AD&D, most of the PrC's powers became redundant, and it needs to be renamed. This PrC plays up its connections with the Nightmare Dimension over strict "illusion". Ravenguard Berserker Retebius Skyrider Second Shadow Scout Sister of the Sword Witch -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 3] Author : eldersphinx Date : 09-24-05 01:37 PM I have a Faenare Windsinger PrC mostly completed on my home comp. It'll be posted whenever I can get the data to a machine with an internet connection. I'm also reasonably sure that at least a few of these PrCs already exist in the Vaults or similar locations. Doubt that I have time to do a search and collect links, tho. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 4] Author : JoeNotCharles Date : 09-24-05 02:06 PM Diviner, Hermit, Holy Man and Prophet from X5. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 5] Author : Traianus Decius Aureus Date : 09-24-05 05:05 PM Blue Eel Bratak Brother of the Grey Lady Eye of Krondahar Eye of the Serpent Fist of Khan Keshak Horse Warrior Order of the Arrow Order of the Lance Order of the Mace Order of the Pike Order of the Sands Order of the Spell Skirmisher Ravenguard Berserker Retebius Skyrider Second Shadow Scout Sister of the Sword I don't much about these... Are they organizations or specifically mentioned class options? The products they were mentioned in would be useful as well. Some sound really interesting to me. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 6] Author : Traianus Decius Aureus Date : 09-24-05 05:11 PM I have a Faenare Windsinger PrC ... That sounds great! I look forward to seeing it! I will ultimately divide these up into explicit classes, such as the Merchant Prince or Avenger, and implicit based classes (ones that are hinted at or fit with the setting) which I think this Windsinger class fits in with. Thanks! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 7] Author : Cthulhudrew Date : 09-24-05 05:57 PM I don't much about these...

NP- Meant to put product names/numbers, but forgot. :bigeyes: Gaz2: The Emirates of Ylaruam These are all elite military orders of the Emirates, and based around the idea of the Myrmidons and military orders of the RW (such as the Knights Templar and Hospitalers). Not all of them may qualify for Prestige Class status, though the description of the orders seems to indicate that they are certainly not for amateurs (it mentions needing some combat experience et al). Further breakdowns as I remember them (don't have my Gaz in front of me atm): Order of the Arrow- Mounted archers. Order of the Lance- Elite cavalry. Order of the Mace- Clerics. The Hospitaler PrC from Complete Warrior would probably do for this one. Order of the Pike- Elite Infantry. Polearm wielders (as might be guessed). Order of the Spell Skirmisher- Mounted skirmishing magic-users. Gaz3: The Principalities of Glantri Fist of Khan- Specifically, the "Thousand Fists of Khan". An order of Ethengarian clerics who covertly roam the Principalities of Glantri trying to subvert the anti-clerical ways of the wizards. Song-Anh is their leader. Gaz7: The Northern Reaches Ravenguard Berserker- The elite guard of the king of Ostland. Gaz9: The Minrothad Guilds Blue Eel- This is an organization of spies/assassins from Minrothad. A modification of the assassin PrC in the DMG would probably work. Gaz12: The Ethengar Khanates Bratak- This is the name given to the "thieves" of Ethengar (who are more like spies). Probably not in and of itself a PrC, but there are at least two schools of Brataks mentioned (Gold and Silver Dragon), that two of the NPCs in the Golden Khan's retinue operate, so perhaps different schools could have PrCs? Eye of Krondahar- These are Glantrian spies (from Krondahar) in the camp of the Golden Khan of Ethengar. Keshak Horse Warrior- The elite guard of the Golden Khan. May not necessarily be a PrC in and of itself. I could see it either way. Gaz13: The Shadow Elves Both of these organizations are described as having prerequisites that would seem to indicate a PrC would not be out of the question. Second Shadow Scout- Scouts, as described. They are an elite and secretive organization, who have both military usage (scouting) as well as intelligence gathering abilities. Eye of the Serpent- Drawn from the Second Shadow (a PrC from a PrC?), these guys are far more espionage oriented than the Second Shadow. The SS are essentially the Delta Force, while these guys are CIA. Dawn of the Emperors Brother of the Grey Lady- The Brotherhood of the Grey Lady is a fighting order of Vanya. It may not be a PrC in and of itself, though. Retebius Skyrider- Not sure this one would qualify, either, as the Retebius Skyriders are described as hobbyists, rather than a strict organization. Something to consider, though, which is why I included it. Sister of the Sword- Again, not necessarily a PrC, this is another of the Thyatian fighting orders dedicated to Vanya. This one is gender exclusive, though, as it only allows women. Module DDA2: Arena of Thyatis Order of the Sands- A gladiatorial organization. They are somewhat exclusive (and racist- they wouldn't allow a half-orc gladiator to join), and might represent a dedicated style of gladiatorial combat (I'm thinking a 3.5 revision of the Sword and Fist Gladiator PrC might fit this one). -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Downloaded from Wizards Community (http://forums.gleemax.com) at 05-10-08 09:30 AM.
