Hmm, I think they should have made general prestige classes for more or less each of the current classes instead.
About the FR campaing setting, I like it but canunderstand thoose that doesnīt like it. Hopefully you can call the Harper class something else.
Assasin, Blackguard and Red Wizard would all require people to be evil... Dr evilish--- and that means that BIG problems playing the standard games.. :S
Arcane archer is nice... if Bioware would read up on the **** arrow and bow rules a bit more. Otherwise that class has lost most of its powers already.. Not having the ranged sight that makes bow powerful in CRPGS (Except Morrowind) I can see a big disapointment for this class.
Shadowdancer can though be really really cool!
But not as cool as blackguards
Since they would make such cool enemies... Ogremageblackguard
