DMG PrC's in PFRPG?

[Jason Beardsley]

Has it been discussed, revealed, or even hinted at, that the prestige classes in the DMG will be updated/implemented in Pathfinder RPG.. Beta or otherwise? And what of new prestige classes?

[JoelF847]

I asked a version of this question in another thread (it was a while back, sorry that I don't remember where to link to it), and the answer I got was that yes, the DMG PrCs will be in Pathfinder, but not in beta, but they are one of the first things to expect in a Beta update.

[Jason Beardsley]

Thank you for that, I wonder how they will differ from the DMG version..

[JoelF847]

If nothing else, the skill requirements will be adjusted to fit within the new skill system, class skills will be revised for the new system, and HD will be adjusted to match the BAB (except for Dwarven Defender as an exception like the barbarian).

Beyond that, I hope that some have some serious revisions, while others basically stay the same.

I would like to see what they have in store for the arcane archer. I have always wanted to like that class but for the amount of requirements it has to what the class does left me a bit depressed.

That's one on my list that I want to have see some Pathfinder love.

I saw someone post an alternate Arcane Archer that had +1 spellcaster levels and changed the enchanted arrow feature slightly. It was on the OotS fourum but it was down as of yesterday.

I'd personally like to see what they'd do to the Archmage and Dragon Disciple..

Almost all of the martial/magical PrCs in the DMG are weak. Arcane Archer, Shadow Dancer, Eldritch Knight... all great concepts but more or less fall flat. I am running a sorcerer who uses his claws in melee mixed with casting and have been half thinking of PrCing him into something but... nothing really appeals. Probably stick with sorcerer.
