Prestige classes offer abilities and powers otherwise inaccessible to heroes and GM characters, focusing them in specific directions. A character with a prestige class is generally more specialized, yet perhaps slightly more powerful, than a character without one.
A character can’t begin as a member of a prestige class. Abilities granted by prestige classes are acquired only by meeting the requirements specific to each example, which almost always demand—in effect—that a character be at least mid-level. Additionally, there may be non-rules-related requirements that must be met in-game, such as group membership fees, special training exercises, or quests.
Prestige classes are purely optional, and always under the purview of the GM. Even though a few examples can be found below, they are idiosyncratic to each campaign, and thus many GMs may choose to not allow them or only use them for GM characters.
More to the point, some prestige classes (Such as Crime Lord, Sith Apprentice, and Sith Lord) are more appropriate for GM characters, and the Gamemaster may declare these classes off-limits for heroes. For this reason, a player should consult with their Gamemaster before angling her character toward a particular Prestige Class.
Prestige Class List
Requirements: All prestige Classes have certain requirements that a character must fulfill prior to taking the first level in that class. Among the most common requirements are a minimum character level, a minimum base attack bonus, being trained in certain skills, or having certain feats. These requirements make it easier for certain types of characters to become members of a given prestige class. For example, a scout could potentially take his first level of bounty hunter as an 8th-level character.
