#3.5 initiate of the sevenfold veil plus

Out of all 3.5 classes, it's the most difficult port to Pathfinder thanks to how the skill system changed. Outside of Factotum, Chameleon can also abuse Extra Spell to create scrolls of any spell in existence. Factotum was not only easy to enter Chameleon with, it synergized extremely well since Factotum could gain extra actions and had all skills as class skills (which Chameleon effectively keeps thanks to Able Learner). It was largely a novelty (though certainly better than straight rogue) and remained so until Factotum was printed 3 years later. It advanced casting at a fairly quick rate, could pick spells from any arcane caster class (Yes, even haste as a level 1 spell from Trapsmith) and had a bonus feat and bonus attribute scores they could change daily, but had a cap on spell progression of 6th level spells. This basically required at least one level in Rogue (or similar class) if you didn't want to wait till really late to enter or be stuck with aborted class features, since that was the only non-caster with the needed skills in class.

It was a little weird to qualify for, needing to be Human, Doppelganger or Changeling with Able Learner and 8 ranks in disguise and bluff plus 4 in Sense Motive and Spellcraft. It does NOT, contrary to popular belief, allow a Champion to use their Caster Level in place of their Base Attack Bonus or allow a Champion to learn higher-level spells.Д¬an change between being a fighter, an arcane caster, divine caster or sneaky dude daily. Probably has one of the most frustratingly misread abilities in the game at fifth level, allowing the Champion to use their Base Attack Bonus in place of their Caster Level for a chosen class. Advances Base Attack Bonus and casting at every level, which is already great, but also provides some nifty abilities including burning spells for buffs.

The Epic Destiny worked under the same concept, except with much beefier class traits, including cheating death in various (generally along the lines of 'once per day, you get to auto-rez yourself if you get killed') and only one new power. Over the next ten levels, you get a couple of new class traits and some new powers. In essence, at level 11 - remember, the idea in 4e was that you'd play from level 1 to 30, rather than level 1 to 20 - you get a Paragon Path. Some other prestige classes see use, but when they do the build is focusing on them, not as a way to kick a base class up a notch.Д¤th edition D&D replaced these with the concept of 'Paragon Paths' and 'Epic Destinies'. The only prestige classes that see any remotely common use are 'dual advancement' classes (like Eldritch Knight or Arcane Trickster) and the curious standout of Exalted. While they exist in Pathfinder, Paizo's official 'twenty-levels in a class' policy has made them more and more rare as time goes by, and the addition of archetypes that change out class features for different ones has largely come to fulfill the same role. If his list of classes reads like a reject Yu-Gi-Oh monster ('I SUMMON DWARF MONK PSYCHIC WARRIOR!'), then he is a weeaboo munchkin who thinks Katanas are Underpowered in d20.

All you have to do is read a player's character sheet. They do however serve one useful function: they make it easy to spot munchkins in Dungeons & Dragons 3e. Another downside is that classes with a lot of class features will have these features gimped because of their new features. In practice, they are really just another way for powergamers to spend all their time optimizing their character sheets so they can have as many kewl powurz as possible. The original intent of prestige classes was something like creating a specialty profession for a particular DM's game, with a unique set of abilities not found in the core rules, yet relevant to the setting. Thus, they are typically taken as a multi-class at a later time, and can be anywhere between three and fifteen levels big, most being around 10. They are character classes with a specific set of requirements that a typical first-level character will not qualify for. Prestige classes are a set of player options from the Dungeons & Dragons 3e DMG and other supplements.
