Prestige Info

The prestige option allows you to relevel your character and acquire some gains based on your class (or multiclass).

Prestige Types

There are two types of prestige characters. Some classes can multi-class with another, some can only become better at their existing class.

• These "classic" classes can become multi-class (i.e. Cleric-Druid, or Mage-Thief, etc)
  • Your original class will be your "primary class" while your added class we will call your "secondary class".
    • Cleric
    • Druid
    • Mage
    • Thief
    • Warrior

• These classes just become "specialized" with greater powers in their own class. (they cannot multi-class).
  • Augurer --> Harbinger
  • Fathomer --> Buccaneer
  • Nephandi --> Infernalist
  • Paladin --> Knight
  • Ranger --> Hunter
  • Vampire --> Dread Vampire

Currently Barbarians and Bladesingers are not possible to prestige.

Equipment

• For multi-class prestige:
  • The primary class determines what equipment you can wear.

Items made specifically for prestige chars of various classes/multi-classes will be introduced to the game at a later date (2063 at current pace).

Bonuses

Prestige characters get several bonuses, including a max stat increase, hp increase, and skills/spells increase.

Stat Bonus

• For single-class prestige characters, you get a +1 to the maximum value of your prime stat, so it can now reach 26:

Dread Vampire: 26 Dex
Buccaneer:     26 Dex
Knight:        26 Str
Hunter:        26 Str
Harbinger:     26 Lck
Infernalist:   26 Int

• For multi-class prestige characters, you get a +1 to the max stat value based on the prime stat of the secondary class.
  • For example, a Thi-War: Str is the Warrior's prime stat. So Thi-War can have 21 Str.
  • For example, a Mag-Thi: Dex is the Thief's prime stat. So Mag-Thi can have 21 Dex.

Secondary Class   Increased max stat on the prestige character:
          Thief:  Dex
        Warrior:  Str
           Mage:  Int
         Cleric:  Wis
          Druid:  Wis

Mag-War	19	25	22	20	20	20	20	Mages deficient stat (Str) increased
Mag-Cle	18	25	23	20	20	20	20	Mages secondary stat (Wis) increased

Cle-War	21	22	25	18	20	20	20
Cle-Thi	20	22	25	19	20	20	20	Clerics deficient stat (Dex) increased
Cle-Mag	20	23	25	18	20	20	20	Clerics secondary stat (Int) increased
Cle-Dru	20	22	26	18	20	20	20	Clerics primary stat (Wis) increased
Dru-Cle	20	20	26	20	22	18	20	Druids primary stat (Wis) increased
Dru-Mag	20	21	25	20	18	20
Dru-War	21	20	25	20	22	18	20
Dru-Thi	20	20	25	21	22	18	20

This creates some interesting combinations. A few I will highlight here:

• Primary Stat Bonus:
  • Cle-Dru & Dru-Cle share the same primary stat (Wis) so it increases to 26 max.

Many Cleric/Druid spells/skills are based on Wis, so this can have significant impact. For example, Dorn Nadur used to be based on Wis, and 26wis dorn was so game breaking Gonnil had to change dorn to be based on Mana instead (news 1171). As it turns out, having 26 in any stat can make a BIG difference in certain situations.

There are NO other multi-class combinations where the stat bump from the secondary class increases the prime stat of the primary class.

• Secondary Stat Bonus:
  • War-Thi increases the Warrior's secondary stat (Dex) up to 23
  • Mag-Cle & Mag-Dru increases the Mage's secondary stat (Wis) up to 23
  • Cle-Mag increases the Cleric's secondary stat (Int) up to 23

• Deficient Stat Bonus:
  • Thi-Dru & Thi-Cle increases Thieves deficient stat (Wis) up to 19
  • War-Mag increases the Warriors deficient stat (Int) up to 19
  • Mag-War increases the Mages deficient stat (Str) up to 19
  • Cle-Thi increases the Clerics deficient stat (Dex) up to 19
