New Prestige Class: Cheese-eatin' Surrender Monkey

kiznit · Nov 12, 2006

...okay, no. Not really.

Any ideas for funny, silly prestige classes out there? Things that you'd never play (except possibly in the most silliest campaigns) but are hilarious to read?

Just curious.

I don't think it was ever made but a fgew years back someone posted the idea of a Prestige class that goes to 11. It would have 11 levels instead of the normal ten and perhaps have a bit of Spinal Tap in it.

I was just about to say that.

As a more tongue-in-cheek rather than full-blown parody example, I once wrote a Beggar prestige class for a third-party Arabian sourcebook that never ended up seeing the light of day. Entry requirements of 5 ranks in Profession (begging), special abilities called Run away! and Grovel...

Not much in the way of prestige about it, but it was a nice nod to Al-Qadim, and a chance to lighten the tone a bit.

I have the jester, which I homebrewed in 2e and converted to a prc in 3e. Also- well, I guess it depends on your sense of humor, but a lot of prcs out there can be hilarious (drunken master, frenzied berserker, gnome trickster, etc).

It's all in how you play it.

Bardbarian - a lute strumming berserker

Rouge - someone who sneaks around, wearing a lot of makeup

I wrote a pair of prestige classes for E.N. Armoury - Chainmail Bikinis. One was the bolojiutsu striptease -- you wear dozens of bolas as clothing, then pull them off sexily as you fight. The other was the nereid diva -- a pop-star swimsuit model class where your power was based on how pretty you are.

Shadowfoot, over on the Wizards boards, has a few goodies:

The Halfling Chicken Wrangler
The Gnome/Halfling Leprekin
The Hillbilly

All are good for a chuckle - but also viable PrCs!

cheers,
