Single-Level Prestige Classes

Is there much precedent for having prestige classes with ridiculous requirements and only a single level that exist solely to confer some amazing ability? It seems like a natural outgrowth of the modularity of Feats while allowing more flexibility in the abilities granted and the prerequisites required (although I suppose there is nothing but precedence that keeps feats from having all the same prereqs as prestige classes). -Slitherrr 10:51, 2 November 2010 (EDT)

I don't think so. Generally it's either a 5 or 10 level progression. There are probably some template/feat tricks in various dragons that get close to what you're describing. -gm

I have seen some 3-level prestige classes, but you're right. -Slitherrr

3 level? Must be some forgotten realms mess! As you can probably tell, I think the 5 level prestige class is the best idea ever. I remember several dragons that allowed things like acquiring templates through feat acquisition, etc., etc. which might be close to what your going for. Idle curiosity, or got something in mind? You don't think Kib has enough classes attached to him in the long term already? :) -gm

Nothing for Kib, certainly. I was just speculating. -Slitherrr
