Prestige Classes (D&D 3e/3.5e) with Sam Roberts

Back ⁠⁠Dice Exploder season 4 on Backerkit⁠⁠ now!⁠TranscriptThis episode I'm joined by Sam Roberts (Escape from Dino Island) to talk about prestige classes, special classes from D&D 3e that you could only take by multiclassing into them. Sam thinks of these things as a noble failure: a very cool idea whose execution almost immediately dropped the ball. But what can we learn from their corpse?We get into that, along with a boots-on-the-ground discussion of what our experiences were like actually playing D&D 3rd edition and an exploration of advancement as a concept at large: how does it work in most games, and how might it work instead?Further ReadingThe Game Left Unplayed, blogpost by Jay DragonD&D third editionD&D 3.5 editionSam R’s game Escape from Dino IslandSocialsSam D on Bluesky and itch.The Dice Exploder blog is at diceexploder.comOur logo was designed by sporgory, and our theme song is Sunset Bridge by Purely Grey.Join the Dice Exploder Discord to talk about the show!
