The vast majority of PrCs are either 10 levels long or 5 levels long, but there are a handful that have a different number of levels. I think it would be interesting to take a look at these oddball classes and see what they look like when they're all together. How many of these can we find? Please note that I'm only talking about PrCs that actually have an unusual number of printed levels—we may joke that Fatespinner is 4 levels long (since it's almost never a good idea to actually take the 5th level of it), but there are still 5 printed levels for it, so it wouldn't make the list. Racial Paragon classes are all 3 levels, but they're a weird in-between case that aren't base classes and aren't PrCs . . . and they're all easy to find, so they're less interesting.
Here's the ones I can find with a quick sweep through my books. I'm sure I've missed some, which is where you guys come in. Let me know any others that you can dig up. Please include the book where you found them, too.

I would be very surprised if that's all of them. I could swear I've seen at least a couple more in the 6-9 range, and I wouldn't be surprised if there was at least one 12-level class lurking around out there. What else can we find?
