Can we expect to see Prestige Classes in the Occult Adventures Hardcover?

[Dylos]

As there are only 6 base classes in Occult Adventures, compared to the 10 in the Advanced Class Guide, should we expect to see some Prestige Classes for the new spell-casters?

I ask because there are a handful of Arcane or Divine only PrCs, but the Psychic can only qualify for the PrCs which don't care which type of caster the character is, such as Hellknight Signifier (which they can only qualify for by taking a useless feat to them, Arcane Armor Training) and Pathfinder Savant, but not things like Eldritch Knight (which could be useful since the Psychic has low bab.) or Mystic Theurge (being able to combine Psychic and Arcane spells with a PrC would probably be cool, though with the Psychic being Int based it would make such a PrC easily SAD).

[Malwing]

Its definitely possible but I was very surprised at the lack of PrC in the Advanced Class Guide. There's way more design space for it in Occult Adventures as there's a new kind of magic, but deep down inside I hope not. I'm not a big fan of prestige classes. But that's my bias so it won't stop me from admitting that the book could probably use some if we want to fully integrate these new classes into the game.

My Dark Sun dreams hope we'll see a psychic/arcane combo a la Mystic Theurge, but if we do not it's not hard to whip up a homebrew version.

I would be excited for a psychic/divine Theurge as well! (again, not hard to homebrew)

There are not currently prestige classes in this book's outline. I expect we will probably introduce some world-specific prestige classes in Campaign Setting and Player Companion books that come out in the wake of this one, however.

I've got a sweet "ascended master" prestige class idea I really want to work in somewhere!

Thank you for taking the time to answer my question, even though it is not the answer I was hoping for. I guess I will just have to theory craft a bit to see which of the current PrCs I can take advantage of with a Psychic.

Veiled Illusionst I think will be a pretty good PRC for caster centric Mesmers... (or a mesmer with 1 dip in K-blast).

Granted I'll be honest that PRC has always sorta confused me as to if the abilities onl ywork while you look like said creature.. or if unlocking the ability to look like it also unlocks the skill whether you look like you or not
