Hmmmm I was wondering if it is possible to create a special class s.as champion of Torm...but makin a class of my own

I´m thinkin of "chosen of Deneir" and perhaps a couple of other cool classes?

You mean a prestige class? Yes, I would be most interested to figure out how to do this as well... When I mod I often require my NPCs to have such classes.
The problem is this:
I don't believe it would be possible to get the game to just put it on a list with other classes in the actual game. Editing would have to be done using the editor and Leto.
You could also write a script that would give the character a custom item at level up, one that might cast spells or (if equipped, like a ring) enhance abilities. I've seen it done before, but I know little about scripting. I just know that it has something to do with the OnLevelUp script of the module. What I would do, if you want to go through the trouble, is to download a HAK and examine the scripts. That should give you a general idea of what to do.
Hopefully, someone else is more of a script person than an idea person and will know exactly what to do.. I just do what I have to do by looking at things I see and using that as a blueprint.

Nope it's possible. You have to do it with custom content. I think it involves editing 2da files, the .tlk files. I'm sure there's more to find in the bioware custom content forum or on the vault. Check the Custom Content Guide, there might be something in it as well. IIRC CODI released a prestige class pack as well as someone else a few weeks ago.

More hassle than pleasure if you ask me. Plus it rules out playing online since we're not talking just a hakpak. For more info. contact the DLA.

I never play online anyway...but I gotta admit that you might as well have written in russian or saudi...I really don´t understand any of it...though I can figure as much as it is going to be hard work....

Well it would be, kinda. But it has been done [img]smile.gif[/img] . Like Phil suggested you should also check out the custom content forum and also the DLA or CODI. You can imagine the bugs etc. but it ain't impossible if you keep it simple. You'd basically be creating new special abilities from scracth, scripting them, implementing etc.

If you're still interested in learning a bit:

Bioware has tutorials on file formats under the developers part of their site iirc.
DLA has an online version of the custom content guide which can be updated by everyone so you might find there more, though I can't find the link now. It's probably in their forums

prebuilt prc:

check under the hakpaks section.
