Are Hybrid Classes Distinct For Prerequisites / Abilities?


Rules Questions


Are the various hybrid classes considered to be their own unique classes for purposes of meeting requirements for things like magic items, or are they considered to be their parent classes?

The specific example I'm thinking on is the magic item Molvënn (which I'm not sure if I'm allowed link since it's not on the SRD). The item gains additional abilities in the hands of a Barbarian (much like how a Holy Avenger gains abilities in the hands of a Paladin). If a Bloodrager wielded such an item, would he be considered a Barbarian and thus gain the extra abilities, or is Bloodrager a distinct class that would have no special interaction with the item?


They are distinct classes except where noted.


yes. They are completely separate. Some, like the brawler, says it counts for some stuff that the fighter and monk do, for limited things. But most are completely separate for everything.


I think at one point of the beta they did count as the parent classes, but they went away from that design.
