Prestige Class in Erenel | World Anvil

Prestige Class

The design of Erenel prestige classes aims to provide exciting specialized class options by covering thematic concepts in a broader term outside of single feats or generalized subclasses. Prestige classes should have character investment leading up to gaining a level in prestige!
 

Gaining a Prestige Class

A prestige class uses the 5E multiclassing rules. When your character is ready to advance a level and meets the prestige class prerequisites, you can choose to gain a level in an available prestige class. Your levels in all your classes, including prestige classes, are added together to determine your character level.
 
Prerequisites
Taking up a prestige class through multiclassing involves meeting certain prerequisites, just as with multiclassing into a standard class. A prestige class requires a minimum character level that you must meet before taking your first level in the prestige class. For example, if the prestige class requires you to be a 7th-level character, you could only take levels in the prestige class upon reaching 8th level or higher.   In addition, a prestige class also requires a minimum score in at least one ability and typically the completion of a specific task or story-based aspect before being able to take that prestige class.
 
Prestige Class Features
You gain prestige class features just like normal class features. Sometimes, a prestige class can improve features you have gained from other classes. If a prestige class grants Channel Divinity, Extra Attack, or Unarmored Defense, that feature is treated the same way as if you had gained it from multiple standard classes.

Prestige Classes

Brimstone

A controversial faction of firearm-wielding sharpshooters who engrave their bodies and ammunition in magic runes, the Brimstone undergo ruthless mental and physical conditioning in preparation for becoming traveling monster slayers for hire. While their methods are effective, the ability to survive after carving themselves with ancient magic has caused a stigma to grow around the organization.
Available only for Gamingbrew Patrons. If you are a Patron the sub class will appear below.
 

Dragon Soul

Enhanced by absorbing the shattered soul of a dragon, the Dragon Soul wields the raw power of an ascendant dragon. As the Dragon Soul learns to tap into the memories and raw force of their absorbed soul, they unlock the ability to transform into a unique form associated with their dragon. This innate power fuels the Dragon Soul with a dreaded breath weapon as they strive to attain perfect attunement with the draconic powers that form the core of their being.
Available only for Gamingbrew Patrons. If you are a Patron the sub class will appear below.
 

Reaper

Reapers are unyielding warriors known for heralding the coming of death. Whatever their origin and belief, every Reaper has felt death’s embrace and returned from the afterlife with purpose. Some relish the pain they inflict, traveling their path alone with the everlasting darkness surrounding them. Others understand the importance of life and death, and forgo the cruelty associated with their profession, seeing their scythe’s final swing as an act of compassion.

ASI Prestige Classes (Prestige Classes via feat trees)

Once the player has unlocked an ASI prestige class, they can choose to prestige while leveling up, gaining all features up to their current level. However, choosing to prestige is not without its cons. The player gives up ASI (ability score improvements) at certain levels dependant upon the prestige class.   After a prestige class is selected, it is locked in with any previous ASI slots lost retroactively, and replaced by the prestige class features at that level. If the prestige class does not provide a feature at a class level which would offer an ASI (ability score improvement), the player takes the ASI.

Prerequisites

Taking up a prestige class requires a minimum character level, a minimum score in at least one ability, as well as requiring the completion of a specific deed before being able to take up the prestige class.   A player cannot take both an ASI Prestige Class and standard Prestige Class and cannot multiclass.
 
Example: If you’ve taken +2 in an ability score at 4th level but prestige at 7th level, you lose the +2 ability score and gain the prestige class feature at 4th level.

All Classes

Lycanthrope

One of the most ancient and feared of all curses, lycanthropy can transform the most civilized into a ravening beast. The following prestige class is for players cursed as a lycan and an extension of the Erenel Lycanthropy Rules.

Barbarian

Hulk Hand

The remains of titanic beings are being discovered across Erenel, hidden in the Ethereal Plane for centuries as their bodies decompose.

Whichever hand is submerged becomes invulnerable and grows in size and strength while the Barbarian’s rage consumes them.

Warden

Wardens are barbarians who have learned to channel their rage intuitively, becoming vigilant guardians, and bastions for the weak.

Bard

Jester

Bards who follow the Jester path are joking pranksters who spread joy and laughter with a sharp tongue. Jesters possess the unique ability to captivate an audience with their antics while never taking themselves too seriously.   The magic of the fey flows through them, thanks to either a deep fey connection or having studied under a fey tutor. That same whimsical, yet dangerous personality of the fey, also guides Jesters as they prance before an audience while remaining in control of their surroundings.
Available only for Gamingbrew Patrons. If you are a Patron the sub class will appear below.

Druid

Summers Dream

Interactions with Fey creatures can be both exciting and dangerous.

Valkyrie

Beautiful warriors full of majesty and might, Valkyrie stand triumphant with wide-spread wings and mithril armor ready to swing their angelic weapon in the name of the Primal Deity they’ve sworn allegiance to in death.

Monk

Rune Bearer

Primal runes in their raw form offer mysterious magics untouched by the Bond. These raw forms can be represented by chaotic shapes and activated with a continuous source of lifeblood.   Rune bearer monks have learned to withstand the pain of engraving runes onto their own body to provide the source needed to activate primal runes and master their power. Rune bearers now live a life of adventure in pursuit of other hidden runes in hopes of discovering true meaning behind their mysterious origin.

Ranger

Dragon Rider

Many Rangers dream of soaring through the clouds atop a dragon steed, the wind on their face, and freedom before them. Those who become Dragon Riders do not dream of this life, they live it. Typically, guardians of a realm, Dragon Riders exert the might of their trained dragon to keep the peace and protect what they hold dear.   A Ranger who follows the path of a Dragon Rider will form a primal bond with an unhatched dragon egg, allowing the dragon to imprint onto them while raising the wyrmling from birth.
