From Towers of High Sorcery:
Wizard of High Sorcery (revised and expanded - sort of)
Dark dwarf savant - Evil arcane dwarf spellcaster who slowly degenerates
Dreamshaper - Red Robe masters of illusion and dream magic
Griffon wizard - Elven mages who bond with griffon companions
Renegade hunter - Agents of the Conclave
Sea mage - Nautical wizards with appropriate powers
Sylvan mage - Rustic wizards who learn secrets from the fey
Winternorn - Mages from Icewall with power over fate and ice magic

From War of the Lance:
Solamnic knights (variants without spellcasting or multiple classes)
Chorister - divine bard, a member of any of the holy orders
Dragon highlord - 3-level class possessed by the highlords
Gnomish tinker - Exactly what you think it is
Handler - Also exactly what you think it is, less sneak attack, more pilfering
Minotaur marauder - Raider and pirate from the Blood Sea isles

I think that's more or less it.

Cheers,
Cam

Thanks Cam.

I am very interested in seeing the Tinker Gnome rules. I didn't expect to see those until Races of Ansalon.

Those aren't the same tinkering rules originally slated for the DLCS. The gnomish tinker gives you the basics for a tinker class. What you will see in Races of Ansalon will be expanded rules for gnomes.

Sounds cool, but is it necessary for “Dragon Highlord” to be a prestige class? I mean, it was always more of a title/position than anything else. There aren't any “mayor”, “king”, or “head librarian” prestige classes floating around. At least not that I know of…(um... there aren't any, right?) :P

Yes, it's necessary. It's only 3 levels long, and it really does serve as a nice capstone to those characters. You'll understand a little more when you see it, perhaps.

It's 3 levels, so it covers the basics of a dragon highlord, while still allowing each one to have their individual class abilities.

Amaron, the peoples of Sovereign Press have told you repeatedly that the due date for WoTL is October 1st.

It's out now, in the sense that I have it and flaunt it at you.

RedRobed: Although I don't think you are particularly intelligent or really know that much, I still give you a shovel full of respect for repeatedly telling Amaron that he is a moron.

Amaron: Yes, you are a moron. A complete one. I can't remember you ever having contributed to a thread, outside of going through the archives, and telling people who aren't interested (and who aren't even here any more) that a product that they were after 6 months ago is now out. This, though, is not a significant contribution. It seems far more likely that it is just an attempt to get people to write in a thread 'created' by you, because other people have said interesting things about something.
Outside of your lack of contribution, you do it in the worst possible way; through the act of spamming. You write one line of useless crap to a thread (again, half of them are 6-months old), almost every day, and hope that gives you enough clout or respect to go around insulting people.
In my own defence, I do not believe I have respect etc here, don't post as often, and can't be that bothered to any more. The pair of you are one good reason why.

I just hope that you get to read this before it gets deleted/I get banned.

Edit: Sorry, Sith, really couldn't help it.

Now that pddisc, TRRW, and Amaron have all vented can we try to get back on the topic for this thread?

I have a question about the Holy Order of the Stars. I know it's bit early to get started on that book since it's probably going to be almost a year before we see it, but I was wondering what sort of PrCs are we going to see in it. Is it going to be like FR's Faiths and Pantheons where there are going to be like 10 PrCs 9 of which require you worship a specific deity? Or are we going to see some more broad based divine PrCs?

If SovPress follows through to form, there will likely be a handful of PrCs that are Deity-specific, but the majority will be generally available to all. On the specifics, maybe something akin to Mishakite healer and Horned Priest (for minotaur followers of Sargonnas). More general examples could be: Chosen Prophet, Missionary, etc.

I hope they come up with something that fits Kenders! I have a kender character right now that's a cleric of Branchala and would like to do something different than mulitclassing with Handler or Rogue. Although a level or two of that maight be nice. Did I see somwhere here that Handler is a PrC now or did my husband tell me that? How the heck did that happen???

There's a handler PrC in the War of the Lance accessory.

Why'd they do a silly thing like that. They should have just left it or made it a regular class like the rogue.

That's why it's a PrC ... it's optional. You can still have a kender with levels of rogue and have himself walk around calling himself a handler. In the same vein, your White Robe wizard character can walk around calling himself a White Robe Wizard even though he may only have levels of the Wizard class (so long as he actually took the Test).

I think what she means is that she wants a class that is Rogue-like but with more "handling" ability and less sneak attacking rather than having to advance X number of levels in Rogue to only be able to advance 10 levels as a Handler.

My bad then. I like the handler as a PrC better ... having it as a base class just seems too much, it'd be like having Solamnic Knight or Wizard of High Sorcery as base classes.

I'm a big fan of PrCs over the endless slew of base classes that WotC said they *weren't* going to do for this edition. That was supposed to be a big selling point of 3.0/3.5 I thought...

Anyway, you play a Kender Cleric of Branchala, Pendral? There's the Chorister PrC in the War of the Lance Sourcebook. It gains clerical spell progression (though only partial) and a lot of cool bard-y effects.

One of the best PrCs I've seen. Maybe not the most powerful by any stretch of the imagination (*cough*RadiantServantofPelor*cough*).

My only real question about upcoming products is: Will you be getting help from the general Dragonlance Fanbase in proofreading/fact checking any of the upcoming books?

Sovereign Press already has a lot of help in that regard, and in fact they're the only ones who (with the help of the WOTC book department) can verify that any facts or revisions etc are official. There are a lot of contradictions and gaffs in the material, too, some of which are explained away and some of which end up staying with us, so it does fall to the licensees and the licensors to determine what is and what isn't the case.
