SUNDAY STATS || PRESTIGE CLASSES
As noted in the Sunday Stats: Classes edition, there are a number of base classes available to help personalize your character. However, as characters gain in levels, their powers usually become more specialized. Prestige classes help represent these areas of specialization that help one high level character stand out from another.
Most prestige classes have prerequisites. They might require you to take a certain number of ranks in a particular skill, acquire particular feats, or even accomplish certain roleplaying goals before you are allowed to take the class. Always double check with the GM that you have the pre-reqs covered before leveling in a prestige class. These classes are not available at low levels.
While there are a number of D20 Modern/Urban Arcana specific classes that are ideal for this sort of campaign setting, there are also unlimited amounts of prestige classes that have been designed for the general D&D world. With few exceptions, the GM is open to allowing you to take any of these classes, and will work with you to help accomplish your vision of your character.
