Abbreviations

[Willtell]

Does anyone known of an online listing of the abbreviations for the names of priestage classes?.

 

[dcollins]

Note that to some extent, there can't be simple abbreviations for every prestige class ever published, because the available letters for obvious abbreviations start to clash pretty quickly. Outside of the DMG, prestige class abbreviations are usually unspecified (and unused).


There are core class abbreviations listed in the Dungeon Magazine writer's guidelines, available here: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dungeon/submissions

Apologizing in advance for cruddy formatting:

Abj = Abjurer (1) Adp = Adept (2)

Many PrCs get their own abbreviations, but even more do not.
