Are Paragon classes prestige classes or just base classes? If they are PrC's where are the requirements for them listed?

Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :)

If you want to talk about maximizing your advantages, since none of them start off with bonus caster levels but all of them have better skill points than full casters, I would say start off taking one level in paragon, then one level in your caster class, then the remaining two levels in paragon, then back to caster.

Or however many gets you your spells

They're prestige classes, with a single prerequisite. You must be a member of Race X.
