Prestige Class

Prestige classes allow characters to gain new, unique, and exceptional abilities beyond those available to base classes. Similar to specialist classes, a prestige class has specific requirements that must be met before a character can take levels in the prestige class. These tend to be fairly strict, and most characters will need to plan in advance to be able to meet the requirements. A character cannot take any levels of a prestige class until the character has already fully met the requirements.
