Prestige Classes
Prestige Classes
Prestige classes for the 3e dnd, I just don't get them!
Is it like dualling to a different class? What level can you get up to? Anyway I have a lot of questions that I was hoping some of you could answer.
Oxymoron of the day: Microsoft Works
Prestige classes are like normal classes with the exception that they have certain prereqs that must be met before you can take a level in one of them.
For instance, taking a level as an Arcane Archer requires (among other things) your character to be able to cast 1st level arcane spells. This means that your character must have gained a level as either a sorc or wiz somewhere along the way.
Generally this allows characters to differentiate themselves from other similar classes without the need of 2ndE char kits.
The last thing that generally confuses people is that in 3rdE once you gain enough experience to level up, you choose what class to level up in. So it is possible to have an overall third level char that is 1st lvl in ranger, sorc, and rogue.

Aramant. It's not like regular multi-classing. You don't distribute the xp you gain evenly on your classes. And you decide along the road what classes you want to take.
In fact it's more like dual classing but you can switch back and forth taking different classes.
Edit: Yes Xyx, maybe I misunderstood what Aramant was referring to. I thought we compared "2e with 3e" instead of "3e with 3e". If so ignore this post
