A prestige class archetypes is a prestige class turned into a normal 20-level class, similar to a class archetype. It generally has elements of one or more other classes, to represent how prestige prerequisites were met and character development after the prestige class has ended.

The goal when making these prestige class archetypes has been to capture the flavor of the prestige class rather than to make an exact copy of how it would normally be. Attack bonuses, hit dice, class skills, spells, and class features have been unified and spread evenly over levels. This means that most prestige class archetypes have their prestige abilities spread over the entire 20 level spread. Unlike how prestige classes normally work, these archetypes have a few complete class abilities rather than several abilities half-way, abilities that develop only to a low level. In some cases, you get the choice of one of several class abilities rather than stymied versions of all the abilities.

To simplify the writeup, I have treated class skills and skill points per level as a class feature throughout this chapter.
