PrCs in Eberron

[Hardhead]

From WotC's preview:

Prestige Classes: The prestige classes you'll find in the Eberron Campaign Setting are a lot like any of the other prestige classes you've encountered in your character-building career. But, unlike many of them, the prestige classes you'll find in the Eberron Campaign Setting have a particular place in the setting. When members of the development/design team started refining the contents of the book, they actually cut the number of prestige classes they were working on in half. They did that so they could focus on creating prestige classes that were truly woven into the fabric of the world. Next month, you'll get a look at one of the setting's prestige classes: the exorcist of the Silver Flame.

Whoo-hoo!!!1!!1!!11oneoneone

Good.

This is what I do with PrCs in my world, too. At least, I try to anyway.

 

[Ashrem Bayle]

Very good to hear. One thing I noticed though, is the bit about "EVERYTHING fromt he core rules will be in Eberron".

I wonder if that means the Red Wizard from the DMG is going to be in there.

I doubt it.

 

[MerakSpielman]

That is a sticky statement. Everything from the core rules? Including Grayhawk gods?

Why not? I hear Tyr from our world moonlights in Faerun.

 

[Hardhead]

But then, Faerun has several gods from our world in their core cosmology, and the entire Mulhorondi pantheon. This is a legacy of Faerun being one of the most-connected primes (until 3rd editon, when it was mysteriously decided no other Primes existed, thus making much of Faerun's history make no sense. But on the other hand, it wasn't the worst of the arbitrary contraditctions with past versions).

They did that so they could focus on creating prestige classes that were truly woven into the fabric of the world.

I'm not holding my breath. Everyone says they're going to do this, but I've yet to see it carried off.

This is true. Sad, but true. Though I have to say, some of the FR stuff, with the War Mages of Cormyr, Purple Knights, Red Wizards etc. pulled it off. However, just as many are nothing more than a collection of abilities.

To be fair, that is the Ability Collector's raison d etre.
