Some examples include: able to cast 2nd level arcane spells, Hide (or any other skill for that matter) 8 ranks, BAB (Base Attack Bonus) +7. There may also be some special roleplaying requirements too, like for the Assassin PrC, you need to kill someone for no other reason than to join the assassins. With a very few exceptions, you cannot qualify for a PrC before level 5. PrC's take a base class and focus it into a special role, giving you special abilities. Some PrC's combine two types of base classes into one. Examples: Mystic Theurge combines a divine caster and arcane caster granting spell casting advancement in both of your base classes at every level of the PrC. Arcane Trickster combines rogue and an arcane caster, granting spell casting advancement at every level, and sneak attack at every other level. Other examples: Shadowdancer expands on the rogue type and gives you interesting abilities having to do with shadows (shadow jump, summon shadow). Shadowcraft Mage (RoS) give you special abilities to add to you Illusion spells (click on the link in my sig to learn more, "Death by silent image". PrC's are not necessary at all for your character. Many base classes (especially ones that have unique abilities that scale with level) are perfectly playable straight through to 20th. Best example being Druid. Other good examples being Spellthief, Scout, Beguiler (the 20th level ability is AWESOME!). PS: Don't feel shy about asking questions, even ones that sound stupid. It's the best way to learn.
