Message: <blockquote data-quote="QuietBrowser" data-source="post: 7016421" data-attributes="member: 6855057">Wasn't entirely sure what prefix to give this, so apologies for that in advance.The Prestige Class; one of 3rd edition's most iconic inventions, which was so admired that 4e co-opted it as the basis for its Paragon Path and Epic Destiny mechanics. But, in 5th edition, they have yet to officially resurface. We had one early Unearthed Arcana issue talking about them, which introduced the Runesmith, but beyond that, there's been nothing.Now, it's almost certain that eventually WoTC will bring them back - it's one possible way to start inching into epic level gaming, something 5e is rather lacking. But, I was curious; what prestige classes would you like to see, and why? What specialized fields can you envision that'd take an adventurer into an entirely new set of abilities?For me... the one PrC that I can really see with some clarity is the Undead Master. Back in AD&D, this was a Necromancer kit, which sacrificed its physical fighting capabilities (only 1 weapon proficiency point at 1st level, and none thereafter) and access to the Alteration, Illusion and Divination schools for the Necromancer's generic bonuses, the ability to cast Enchantment spells (normally barred to necromancers), the ability to Command Undead as if they were a Cleric of equivalent level, and the ability to Command Outsiders as if they were Undead of equivalent Hit Dice.This was an awesome class form, but, alas, despite my own considerations on the matter, it's not something you can properly replicate as a subclass - it's too much of a tripartite hybrid of Conjurer, Enchanter, and Necromancer. But, as a Prestige Class, focusing on the mind-control and summoning aspects, it might just work, and I'd love to pull it off.So, what about you? What PrCs do you dearly want to see come to life?</blockquote>
