I know Beloved of Valarian (Book of Exalted Deeds) and Battle Maiden (Oriental Adventures) require the character to be female. Though for the life of me I can find any other ones that are only for females. And I haven't found a single one that is for males only. So my question is this: Is there a list of gender specific classes and prestige classes somewhere?

 

If such a list doesn't exist yet, perhaps we could make one here? Also, The list can have 3rd party classes and prestige classes as well.

The idea of "male" being treated as a default does tend to lead to the result that only classes that specifically require a female as far as gender-specific things go.  Luna Trigger has already covered all the ones that come to mind for me.

There might also be cases that are effectively gender-restricted if they require a specific race that has only a single gender, as nymphs or satyrs usually do, but those are also relatively uncommon.  A similar arrangement could occur for prestige classes requiring membership in an organization, but they'd probably already identify gender as a requirement of the prestige class.

I did end up writing a male-specific one myself that was a bit like the thrallherd in employing the approximate principles of the Leadership feat, but I assume we're not after homebrew material here.
