This section covers all the base and prestige classes available in Project Phoenix. All the revised classes also have discussion sections, where I talk about the changes I made and why. The Loremaster and Thaumaturgist received no changes beyond those to make them compatible with Project Phoenix (skills and a couple abilities), so they have no discussion section.

I've come up with many prestige classes over the years since 3E came out; some are conversions of older classes or kits from previous editions, and some are new creations.
