PRESTIGE CLASSES

"Kits, you say?"



I have decided to allow Multi-classing in only a very limited form: The Prestige Class.

There are a very limited number of Classes available. Note that other Prestige Classes can be found within the campaign as NPCs but are not available to Player Characters because they are too rare, do not fit the campaign, are too powerful, or are evil.
