New Prerequisite Class: Ripper
If things don't seem right, claw, scratch and bite!
That is the motto of the Rippers, an order of fighters dedicated to using their own natural weaponry just as effectively as most use an axe or sword. Harnessing the animal within, Rippers learn new martial
techniques to capitalize on their own racial abilities, most notably their claws. They often push their bodies to the breaking point in search of a better understanding of the animal inside. Trainers are typically found out in the wild, as they tend to be shunned by polite society. Like all Prestige Classes, they retain the base class's
Prime Requisite, in this case, Strength.
The integration of the Ripper's feral self is a surprisingly harmonious one, such that the cannot become Berserkers. Likewise, they cannot become Paladins as the Paladin's weapon bond is antithetical to Ripper
beliefs.
Sometimes, the Ripper's predeliction for wanton carnage and corpse mutilation catches the attention of the Dark Powers, allowing them to become Sorcerors, albeit at higher level than Mages.

Maintenance: New Box and Upgrades
We had this lovely plan to get a new box and upgrade, but it happened rather unexpectedly and totally outside the window we were expecting to announce. Good news = new box and upgrades! Sad news = took a bit longer to make everything happy. Best news = we're back!

New Prerequisite Class: Soldier
While many Archers are free-roaming individualists communing with nature and not above hugging the occasional tree, some of the more populous races put those talents to work in a more disciplined, rigid, military capacity. Soldiers lose out on some of the Archer's wilderness survival skills, being mostly trained to defend castles and other developed areas, but gain some unique new ones in return. Their discipline makes them skilled leaders, an they can even impart some of their skills to other group-mates. Many races
train their soldiers with crossbows instead of bows. Like all Prestige Classes, they retain the original class's Prime Requisite, in this case, Dexterity.
Soldiers are far too law-abiding to ever become Assassins, but occasionally, that fervor for law leads them to trade their crossbows for great swords and become Paladins, albeit at a higher level than Warriors.
