List of prestige classes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of prestige classes (PrC) in the 3rd edition of the Dungeons and Dragons role-playing game. This list includes content for both the original 3rd edition and the 3.5 revision.
Nearly every official supplement source book and most issues of Dragon Magazine introduce new prestige classes. This list is therefore likely to expand throughout the life of 3rd edition Dungeons & Dragons. This list does not include prestige classes from third-party material offered under the d20 System or the Open Gaming License. It also does not include prestige classes in video games based on Dungeons & Dragons, such as the Neverwinter Nights series.
Some prestige classes, such as the Ur-Priest and the Purple Dragon Knight, are printed in multiple sources. Sometimes there are slight revisions between these reprints, while others are exact duplications. As a result, there are slightly fewer total prestige classes than the sum of those appearing in each source.
[edit] Core books
[edit] Dungeon Master's Guide
The prestige classes in the Dungeon Master's Guide were the first (and, to date, the only) prestige classes considered part of the core rules for the game.
[edit] 3rd edition
The 3rd edition Dungeon Master's Guide contained the original six prestige classes.
- Arcane Archer
- Assassin
- Blackguard
- Dwarven Defender
- Loremaster
- Shadowdancer
[edit] 3.5 revision
The 3.5 Dungeon Master's Guide included all six prestige classes from the previous edition, and added 10 more. One of the newly added prestige classes, the Red Wizard, was adapted from Forgotten Realms campaign-specific material. Because of its origins in Forgotten Realms, the Red Wizard is the only prestige class to appear in the Dungeon Master's Guide but not in the System Reference Document (SRD).
- Arcane Trickster
- Archmage
- Dragon Disciple
- Duelist
- Eldritch Knight
- Hierophant
- Horizon Walker

It also included rules for continuing certain other prestige classes beyond their ten-level limits using the epic level rules. Unlike prestige classes from almost all other supplemental source books, these nine classes have been included in the SRD with the addition of the rules for epic levels. The SRD also includes epic levels for the Dungeon Master's Guide prestige classes (except the Red Wizard), including those in the 3.5 Dungeon Master's Guide, released after the Epic Level Handbook.
