Editing Prestige Class

'''Prestige classes''' are a set of player options from the [[Dungeons & Dragons]] [[3e]] [[DMG]] and other supplements.  They are character [[Class|classes]] with a specific set of requirements that a typical first-level character will not qualify for.  Thus, they typically taken as a multi-class at a later time.

The original intent of prestige classes was something like creating a specialty profession for a particular DM's game, with a unique set of abilities not found in the core rules, yet relevant to the setting.  In practice, they are really just another way for [[powergamers]] to spend all their time optimizing their character sheets so they can have as many kewl powurz as possible.

They do however serve one useful function: they make it easy to spot [[munckins]] in [[Dungeons & Dragons]] [[3e]].  All you have to do is read a player's character sheet.  If his list of classes reads like a reject Yu-Gi-Oh monster ("I SUMMON ''DWARF MONK PSYCHIC WARRIOR''!"), you've got yourself a [[munchkin]].
