Does anyone know if there will be prestiege classes in Neverwinter ?? I'm so looking forward to being a samurai.

There will not be any prestige class' in NwN.

speaking of classes I have been trying to find out what classes they will include but failed. I know the first classes that were announced but cant find the last. anyone that could throw me a link or list them here.
Thx

Would there be classes excluded, then?

I belive - have no links as yet - that all standard classes in 3.ed are in NwN.

What prestige classes?
Something like knigths of Solamnia or knights of Neraka?

Assasins, Arcane Archers, Loremasters, Doomguards... Nothing really interesting, though.

Doomguards, Have absolutely no idea what that is, but man it sounds cool

The Blessed of Gruumsh, Shadow Adept, and Red Wizard are all very cool Prestige classes that I would love to see in NWN (particularly the Shadow Adept). The Harper Scout, Dragon Disciple, and Acolyte of the Skin are also damn cool. I’m sure it won’t be too long after the game’s release before some bright spark hacks Prestige Classes into Neverwinter Nights.

@Thorin, Yes the KoS and KoT are PC's in DLO.

Are these D&D3 prestige classes!?

No prestige classes means no Blackguard (ie anti-paladin). So many people have been whining for that.

will their be no kits like in bg2

Only kits are Paladin and Barbarian I think.

Definite on the Paladin one.

They´re not kits. They´re classes. 3E doesn´t go for kits, does it?

There will be no kits in NwN, and barbarian+sorcerer+monk are not kits, they are 3.ed classes, that were placed in BG2.
They will (currently) be in NwN.

What else would they be? I take it you're unfamiliar with 3e if you haven’t heard of any of these (the Red Wizard and Shadow Adept are in the FRCS). Checkout [url="http://www.angelfire.com/games3/3DandD/prestige_classes.html"]here[/url] to get the lowdown on them.

@ Kayless: Nice link. Thanks. I'm quite familiar with the core rules, but know little of the add-on stuff. Frankly, I don't like the game any better with 50+ Prestige Classes... With D&D3's excellent multi rules, I don't see the point in Prestige Classes at all. Seems like a "bigger is better" and a desperate attempt to please everyone.

I too think they went a little overboard with all the Prestige Classes, but a few of them are very cool from a role-play perspective. I especially like the concept of the Shadow Adept, who wields magic garnered from the Shadow Weave and can cast spells in Dead and Wild Magic areas. The Acolyte of the Skin is a very creepy class for NPC villains (a wizard with the hide of a demon *shudder*). And having old staples like the Assassin and Archmage is just great. Prestige Classes can give some good ideas for NPCs or help flesh out one's PC.

There is talk on Argyle, that the DM's would try to script some prestrige classes, when they get the game/Argyle up and running.

So lets see what they come up with over there
