05-28-07, 04:15 PM I searched on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Prestige_Classes
..and I could not find anything on the Acrobat prestige class. The reason I'm interested in this is because I wish to make a very agile and strong fighter/rogue type of character and this would be the best prestige class to work for. But, I can't find it.

I guess it's because people don't think acrobats are too much of a foe. But imagine getting into a fight and having the acrobat dodge everyone of your attacks, and then suddenly they leap up grab onto the ledge of a building flip around and kick you right in the face, then using their arms hop to a higher level of a close by building, and tight rope walk across to a taller building, and make their escape. I think that would be some cool stuff.

Anyway, if anyone has any info.... hell, even if it's not made yet, if you got some good recommendations, throw them at me.

05-28-07, 04:19 PM Er, why not start with the Thief-Acrobat PrC from Complete Adventurer? From then on, I could imagine Dervish (Cwarrior), Blade Dancer (OA), or another PrC that can give you a nice skill-related boost (exemplar, ninja spy, that kind of thing)

05-28-07, 04:38 PM Hey thanks for the help. I did look at the thief-acrobat, but it's only listed as a 5 level prestige class...from the information I found.

But, I did find this, http://www.community3e.com/dn/class/TheAcrobat.pdf
Just after I posted my last post.

But, the only confusing thing about that prestige class is the True Mirages ability. I've either ignored it, or was completely ignorant about it, but I don't know what Minor Image is. I'd do some research, but I have to log off for work now.

So thank you to anyone who helps me.

edit:
I just noticed, but was that last link even a prestige class? It's read like a normal class.
