Yes, 4e persitge classes...

my idea is simple like butter, you can "multiclass" into the prestige, which by itself doestn exsist as a class

now you need to make 2 powers for each normal lvl as a class
(but you dont need more than 2 x lvl)

Example:

Feat: Assasin training:
requisites: Lvl2, trained in Stealth, INT 13+

* you gain proficiency with light blades
* you can deal 1d6 extra (follow sneak attack rules, adds to sneak attack)
* you can swap an at will atack from the Assasins list

feat: Assasin Novice
* you can swap an encounter attack from the Assasins list
... keeps going

**********************

Assasins power list: (uncomplete for now)

Silent Attack
weapon, melee or ranged

Attack: DEX vs CA
Impact: 1[W]+DES and you dont loose concealement

Imperiling strike

(just made the word up, Im sorry, my english could be better, maybe injuring strike?)

weapon, melee or ranged

Attack: DEX vs FORT
Impact: 1[W]+DES and the target falls prone

***

I havent had time to develop mor powers, as Im working on the others...

Arcane Archer at will powers: (in progress)

Imbued arrow
weapon,bow, ranged

Attack: DEX vs CA
Impact: 1[W]+INT(CHA?) - [choose the damage tipe]
and the target suffers one of the following efects:

Fire - ongoing 2
Cold - slowed
Thunder - deafened (I was thinking something radiant, but blinded seemed too much for me)

Magic Arrow (helpme, Im gettin imagination shortage)
weapon, melee or ranged

Attack: DEX vs CA
Impact: 1[W]+INT(CHA?)
this impact ignores resistance.... really dont know what to do with this attack...

So for the price of a feat, I get an at will, +1d6 sneak attack, and proficency with Katar and Rapier? Explain please how this won't unbalance the game.

lemme see...

well, with the houseruled multiclass sistem I use, you do swap an at-will
(you allways need lvl 2 and the skill trained, instead of beeing granted)


and no, this is work on progress and I dndt think in superior light blades, it would be just simple and martial lightblades, probably none in the final version

and I wanted somethink different than +1d6 sneak attack (Im probably droping the normal one 1d and add this instead) something like the old deadly assasin stile but more balanced into 4e

maybe just swap the at will? that seems too few for a feat
maybe give an aditional at will? (and nothing else, I like this one)

On the first attack of each encounter you inflinct 5 posion in addition to normal damage (save ends). As a suggestion.

Since this designed with Rogues in mind, I would just leave WP's blank.

Im thinking in an encounter attack that adds poison...

and the idea is to be useful and good looking even for other classes

maybe I should just let the proficiencies out the prestige classes....

most probably theyl end up just granting an aditional at-will from the class that represents the features needed.

just so that you have it in mind, this is the multiclasssistem Im using:

I allowed to swap an At Will power and gave the proficiency (Casters were already giving them for free, fighter classes were not... unfair)
and I added some requisites to compensate
there is no point RAW to pick trained skill training: Arcana, it has the same requirements that Arcane initiate (which grants you Arcana skill, proficiency with magic wands, staffs and orbs and an aditional encounter power)

so:

Initiated Arcane: (wizard multiclass)
Requirements: INT 13, Arcana, Nvl2
*Can use an Implement of choosing: wand, Orb or Staff
*Can use Wand of precision, Orb of imposition or Staff of defense; according to the choosen Implement
*Can exchange an At Will Attack for one of the wizard list or for all 4 Cantrips.

Student of the Sword: (fighter multiclass)
Requirements: STR13, CON 13, Lvl2
* Choose a weapon, gain proficiency and +1 to striking with this weapon.
* Can exchange an At Will Atack
Novice of the Sword Requirements: STR 14, Lvl 4 you Can swap an Per encounter Attack
Acolyte of the Sword Requirements STR 15, Lvl6 You can swap a Utility
Adept of the Sword Requirements: STR 16, Lvl 8 you Can swap a Daily Attack

and so on...
