Official Status

Official Clergy
Preferred Level: As soon as possible
Class Limitations: None - But class should make sense for the god.
Method of Joining: Demonstrate priestly behavior as expected of the specified deity. Apply when you believe your character to have earned official clergy status. Applications before character creation are possible as well, but less likely to be approved.

Official Clergy requires that a character demonstrate not only adequate worship of the specified faith, but also going above to live and spread his Patron's teachings. Simple lip service will not suffice, as an interpretation of the dogma must be evident in the very behavior and actions of the character. Temples that exist in Arabel and surrounding reasons will have a greater likelihood of being approved.

Temples and shrines in Arabel are: Tyche, Lathander, Ilmater, Selune, Mystra, Waukeen, Darmos, Hoar, Oghma, Shar, Bane, Mask?, Clar Banda, Talona, Kelemvore, Kossuth. The Seldarine, Deep Sashelas, Shevarash, Fenmarel Mestarine, Angharradh, Aerdrie Faenya, Sehanine Moonbow, Hanali Celanil, Erevan Ilesere, Labelas Enoreth, Corellon Larethian, Solonor Thelandria, Rillifane Rallathil.

Temples and shrines in the surrounding areas are: Urdlen, Moradin, Helga Fireaxe, Selune, Sune, Sejogan Earthcaller, The Furies: Malar, Talos, Auril, Umberlee. (More to come)

Nobility
Preferred Level: Before Character Creation
Class Limitations: None
Method of Joining: Application

Noble status is very difficult to obtain, and is arguably the least approved concept. The more prestigious the family is intended to be (whether canon or non-canon) the more difficult it will be to get the application approved. This also includes being relatives of nobles within Canon (Wyvernspur, Marliir, Thundersword, Huntsilver).

Clarification of Nobility Terms:

Keep in mind that these terms are being clearly defined to reduce confusion between the players and what DMs consider as impersonating a noble. Characters are still free to use them, but if caught will experience in character consequences for the action. The term definitions on how they are used in Arabel are not negotiable.

Additionally, the rules and requirements of the nobility in Arabel are very nebulous these days. Noble status won't really amount to much in-game due to this.

House - Representing a noble or family of importance. Common families will not use this title to refer to their family.

Retainer - City sanctioned title for representatives of a House. Families with hired guards do not refer to them as retainers.

Lady / Lord / Baron / Baroness / Sir / Dame / etc - The use of these terms preceding a name indicates a noble title. Offering these titles as a sign of respect are permissible, but using them in signatures or using them as official titles are a claim to nobility

Prestige Classes

Send a note (not an application) before character creation or after you decide to pursue this PrC. Apply after you believe you have earned it.

You do not need to meet the mechanical requirements to take a PrC level!

Arcane Archers: To be able to be classed an Arcane Archer you are expected to have demonstrated leadership among the elven people, leading raids, oraganising members of the race to do activities, protect the land etc. Note, you don't have to have led an 'Elven Warband' per say

Meeting and being trained by an Arcane Archer is another alternative. When you apply, detail which method you have used to reach the point where you feel you are ready to apply for the class.

Assassin: Assassin's are required to have killed another sentient being before being able to take this PrC. When you apply, make a list of bounties you have collected. Do not apply unless you have collected on at the very least one bounty.

Blackguard: You're expected to have demonstrated yourself as a pinnacle of evil (whether overtly, or covertly). Locating and allying with an existing evil outsider (of power, not an imp or your pal's hell hound familiar) is required. Leadership among evil is also a plus.

Divine Champion: Known as Champion of Torm. You can worship any diety, even an evil one, not merely Torm. You must demonstrate your commitment to your diety and be known as a powerful warrior in that dieties service. You must be of the same alignement as your deity.

Dwarven Defender: As champions of the dwarven race, dwarven defenders are sworn to protect the dwarven way of life. Very rarely, a defender is sworn to fulfill a quest of great importance to the dwarven clans. Even rarer, is a dwarven defender sworn to uphold some other goals. When you apply, be sure to include a description of your goal and what you protect as a champion of the dwarven lifestyle.

Harper Scout: Prove yourself as a Harper (after joining), and earn prestige.

Pale Master: To become a pale master, you must research a ritual and spend three days locked in a tomb with animate undead. The contact may be peaceful or violent, but is mandatory to master the skills of a Pale Master. Send an application, if approved you will have to roleplay finding the ritual and fulfilling its obligations.

Purple Dragon Knight: Your character must distinguish themselves to a point where they would be Knighted.

Red Dragon Disciple: Apply for this PrC as early as you can. Intended build info must be included in an app for this PrC, due to it's obvious potential for powergaming class combos. ICly, pursue draconic lore, and potentially contact with dragons.

**Shifter:**No special requirements via roleplaying, although studying under the tutalege of a current PC or NPC shifter should be mentioned on your application. Also see this thread. IC pursuit of various means of shapeshifting and using shapeshifting actively in RP (this does not mean hang around the market as a dog peeing on people's legs)

Shadowdancers: Shadow Dancers are rumored to have connections to Shar, but wandering troupes of Shadow Dancers are as likely to be good as evil. To become a Shadowdancer you should find and be trained by a PC or NPC Shadowdancer. They do exist in game, enjoying hanging out in shadows or liking dark places is NOT enough to qualify for this PrC.

Weapon Master: Apply for this PrC as early as you can. It has no special requirements via roleplaying, although studying martial skills under the tutalege of a current PC or NPC weapon master should be mentioned on your application.
