Prestige Classes

"Encyclopedia of Prestige Classes" by Various. Printed and Distributed by Fast Forward Entertainment. ISBN-10: 1-932201-68-8 -- 128 Pages. The cover of this book proudly exclaims: "A Fantastic collection of Thrilling Prestige Classes!" Just in case you don't want to read any further, this book achieves its claim to fame. The first chapters in this book are the usual Credits, Table of Contents, a one-page Preface, and a one-page Introduction. There are eight great new skills, but some of them are geared towards a campaign that allows gunpowder. It's up to the GM to see if they allow gunpowder weapons in their campaign. There's also seventy-two (72!) great new feats although some of them are for campaigns that allow gunpowder. It's up to the GM to see if they allow gunpowder weapons in their campaign. Then the classes. Sixty-One (61!) altogether, starting with page twenty-seven, and lasting through the end of the book. My favorite was the "Wrestler" who also can be used for a Sumo Wrestler! Some of the new classes are geared more for NPCs rather than for players. Check any of them out before allowing a player to choose one! At the back is the usual OGL and four advertisements. This book was a fine addition to my D20 collection. What's even better, with a little bit of homework, it could be used with almost any edition of D&D or Pathfinder. It really does deliver what it promises. It's too bad that Fast Forward Games disappeared from the market, as many of these books also included online material which does not seem to be available anymore. However, these Fast Forward Entertainment books rarely disappoint me.
