The Epic Destiny worked under the same concept, except with much beefier class traits, including cheating death in various (generally along the lines of "once per day, you get to auto-rez yourself if you get killed") and only one new power. Over the next ten levels, you get a couple of new class traits and some new powers.
In essence, at level 11 - remember, the idea in 4e was that you'd play from level 1 to 30, rather than level 1 to 20 - you get a Paragon Path.
Some other prestige classes see use, but when they do the build is focusing on them, not as a way to kick a base class up a notch.Ĥth edition D&D replaced these with the concept of "Paragon Paths" and "Epic Destinies". The only prestige classes that see any remotely common use are "dual advancement" classes (like Eldritch Knight or Arcane Trickster) and the curious standout of Exalted. While they exist in Pathfinder, Paizo's official "twenty-levels in a class" policy has made them more and more rare as time goes by, and the addition of archetypes that change out class features for different ones has largely come to fulfill the same role. If his list of classes reads like a reject Yu-Gi-Oh monster ("I SUMMON DWARF MONK PSYCHIC WARRIOR!"), then he is a weeaboo munchkin who thinks Katanas are Underpowered in d20. All you have to do is read a player's character sheet. They do however serve one useful function: they make it easy to spot munchkins in Dungeons & Dragons 3e. Another downside is that classes with a lot of class features will have these features gimped because of their new features. In practice, they are really just another way for powergamers to spend all their time optimizing their character sheets so they can have as many kewl powurz as possible. The original intent of prestige classes was something like creating a specialty profession for a particular DM's game, with a unique set of abilities not found in the core rules, yet relevant to the setting.
Thus, they are typically taken as a multi-class at a later time, and can be anywhere between three and fifteen levels big, most being around 10. They are character classes with a specific set of requirements that a typical first-level character will not qualify for.
Prestige classes are a set of player options from the Dungeons & Dragons 3e DMG and other supplements.
