[QUOTE="Ovarwa, post: 6824437, member: 75153"] Hi, A typical Prestige Class might consist of four tiers, which corresponds to the four levels of magic items. Gaining access to each tier typically involve: * An ongoing Commitment, which might be an oath of fealty, a code of conduct, or something of that nature. A knight of the round table swears fealty to King Arthur and swears to fight for good. A wizard of the ancient guild swears to seek out spells and knowledge and share completely with the guild, to never destroy knowledge of any kind, and to accept and provide wisdom according to his stature. A pirate swears to follow the code and eschew soap. * One Achievement per tier. This is usually an adventure of some kind. Kill something, find something, destroy something, do something, start a war, stop a war, etc. * Be of a certain level. Typically level 4/8/12/16, but this might shift (3/7/13/17, or whatever). After all, you cannot be a 4th level archmage... but if you demonstrate responsibility, the council will grant you access to the great library, teach you the outer mysteries of the guild, honor you with important (and rewarding) endeavors and gift you a ring of pure unobtainium bearing the council's sigil as a mark of rank. This will doubtlessly lead to greater things. If you persevere in wisdom and power, one day you might join the Inner Council as a true Archmage. Anyway, Ken [/QUOTE]
