WarCry Exclusive: NWN2 Prestige Class -- The Warpriest

As we count down towards that October 31st Release Date, more and more information about the sequel to Bioware's hit RPG keeps leaking out! NWN2 WarCry has the scoop on one of the game's new Prestige Classes, the Warpriest!

In Dungeons & Dragons (both 3E and 3.5), prestige classes allow players to choose a specialized type of character focus that goes beyond what's offered by the "core" classes. Fighters excel with weapons, wizards are the masters of offensive magic, but those professions do not allow characters to shine in the way that an assassin or blackguard can. Prestige classes offer special abilities that exemplify the concept behind the name -- weapon masters gain superior weapon talents, divine champions gain the ability to smite enemies of the faith -- giving players the ability to create spectacular characters.

While Neverwinter Nights 2 maintains most of the prestige classes from the original game, it also has several new options. Two of these new classes are the frenzied berserker and the warpriest. Both classes were taken from the pages of 3.5 supplements (Complete Warrior and Complete Divine, respectively) and adapted for use in a computer environment.
