Prestige classes

Are there any good prestige classes, particularly ones that do not cause you to lose prgression?

none that dont loose progression, at least none that i know of. I hear the illithoid slayer is a nice prc though. its in the srd too i think, but only as slayer.

Yes, there are. Look at the A????? Initiatie in Complete Psionic

Unfortunately there is only one for psionics that doesn't give up any levels (Archic Initiate) and it's really only good for Wilders. Psionic PrCs have the reputation of being much more balanced than their magical counterparts, meaning that you don't get any great new abilities without giving up some levels.

That being said, the Salyer and Thrallherd are probably my two favorites if you are a psion. For a Wilder, the Archaic Initiate is great. if you want a more melee-oriented build I'd suggest the Elocator.

If you're allowed to use 3rd party products, Hyperconscious, by Bruce Cordell (who also wrote the XPH) has the Ghostbreaker, a 5 level full BAB, full manifester progression PrC.

It and the Anarchic Initiate are the only full manifester progression classes that aren't theurge-type. And the Initiate is good for non-wilders, since Wilders can't get into it by RAW until late in the game... and it grants you Wilder-type abilities anyway.

There aren't many PrC's that I would take. However, sacrificing 3 levels to pick-up 3 levels of Wizard for the Cerebremancer PrC is may favorite. From 12th-16th, you should be in the catbird seat. If as most campaigns end at 20th that WoC is making, you still get 9th level powers before the game ends.

Slayer is actually generally thought of as more powerful than illithid slayer, due to having fewer requirements and being more general. (Odd, I know - see the recent thread on Slayer/Illithid Slayer for details.)
