One can always ask Irongron and apply to become a code contributor to help speed up the process of discussing, designing, balancing, and coding for the prestige classes.
Yeah maybe if I had the time to do so and any familiarity with coding I could.
We can always have the time if we manage it well enough, otherwise, we wouldn't be here discussing something we all love and play.

The willingness to learn a new skill set and not impose a handicap on self, however, is far more optional than most realize.

For you, the day Kenji overhauled your class was the most important day of your life.
But for me, it was Tuesday. :face_with_monocle: To-do list

I feel that any class that's added has to bring a distinct playstyle, theme, and mechanic to it.

That being said...

1) Artificer - Infuses items with bonuses primarily

2) Psion - We have psionic energy types. There are different playstyles and themes psionics could allow for. It'd be distinct from magic, likely work in anti-magic fields, but have its own restrictions and capitalize on some of the new damage types

This could include - Soul Knife, Psychic Warrior, etc.

3) Archmage - A PRC that might make wizards a bit less kinda bad?

4) Red Wizard - a PRC that might make wizards a bit less kinda bad?

5) Binder - Distinct from warlocks, binding to different patrons gives different bonuses at different times

6) Truenamer - This would be a class that could technically function vastly differently from most magic classes because it focuses around words and the powers of words.

7) Shadow Caster - Distinctly different from one who uses the shadow weave, this focuses on special secrets that allows them to do what they do

8) Beguiler - Making illusion magic viable!

Alright, Monday afternoon you're going to start giving me lessons on coding for NWN/Arelith. You too, Mattamue.

That give me memories of the millions of prc classes that I never tried

Child of night, that was fun to be transparent lol
Some more buff to pure , 4HD casters maybe? epic spells for pure wizard/sourcer pls, the one I loved most has permanent haste and invisiblity on caster. There are so many others that are cool and give wizards something...

Skullclan hunter, I never know why but I think this is fun

Better yet, the three classes from Tome of Battle, Swordsage, Crusader, and Warblade. (or just one of them, they are so cool.)
