Classes

= Classes = Below you will find lists of all the classes and prestige classes available in Armeya RPG as well as references to their source material. Classes are divided into the level of approval needed to play. Links are provided in the name of the class to a page which gives more information on how that class plays out in the world of Armeya, as well as approved alternative class features (if any). It is highly encouraged that you read the linked page for whichever class you are considering, as the rules of Armeya RPG are sometimes very, very different from other settings.

Multi-Classing Rules
Armeya RPG allows for multi-classing, with the following restrictions -
 * Level 1-5 characters may have a maximum of **two** classes (PrCs included in this number).
 * Level 6-10 characters may have a maximum of **three** classes (PrCs included in this number).
 * Level 11-19 characters may have a maximum of **four** classes (PrCs included in this number).
 * Epic (Level 20+) characters may have **unlimited** classes as long as they follow this rule - "Be as epic as you can!"

Prestige Classes
Prestige Classes are available to characters beginning no earlier than **Level 3** (no exceptions). All Prestige Classes are theoretically available for use. Any time a player wishes to apply for a Prestige Class, they must submit the mechanics of the prestige class as part of the application.

There are four possible outcomes from such an application:
 * 1) The Prestige Class will be approved and then opened up to any character who wishes to take it.
 * 2) The Prestige Class will be approved for that character only, requiring other characters to apply for it separately.
 * 3) The Prestige Class will be denied for that character only, requiring other characters to apply for it separately.
 * 4) The Prestige Class will be denied for all characters as being unbalancing, overpowering, or not fitting with the themes of the game world.

Furthermore, one may not freely enter into a prestige class. A prestige class represents a highly specialized path that usually does not come naturally to a person. Most prestige classes in Armeya RPG require completing a test of some kind on top of fulfilling the standard prerequisites for the class. Details of these tests are given for each prestige class that requires it, described in that prestige class' page, for which a link is provided.


 * The following Prestige Classes are available for use without special approval:**


 * The following Prestige Classes are available for use with PM approval:**
 * Grey Guard || Complete Scoundrel, p ||
 * Justiciar || Complete Warrior, p ||


 * The following Prestige Classes are available for use with GM approval:**
 * Blackguard || Dungeon Master's Guide, p; d20srd ||
 * Loremaster || Dungeon Master's Guide, p; d20srd ||
 * Loredelver || Races of Destiny, p ||
