Wizard Prestige Classes

[LordOfCain]

Are there any wizard prestige classes that don't require feats or skills, just casting?

[Cerefel]

Technically eldritch knight, but there really aren't many caster PrCs without some skill or feat prereqs.

[LordOfCain]

Are there any others? (Looking for early entry possible PrCs)

[Cerefel]

If that's what you're worried about, why not just get early access to higher spell levels? Precocious Apprentice and/or Versatile Spellcaster are some options that can work.

I created a build that can get spells really early and am looking for prestige classes that I can use for it.

[Exemplis]

Try Master Specialist.
With Spell Focus and Precocious Apprentice feats you can enter it as lv2 Wizard. Wizard 2 / Master spec 4 / whatever is a pretty common build start.

[LordOfCain]

What! That is easily enterable at 3rd level within CORE!

While it of extremely little use to Wizards (Control Winds as a 5th level spell and Holy Word are nice) you can get into Rainbow Servant with 4 skill ranks in Knowledge Arcana and 3rd level spells. So you can get into it at level 2.

Wizard 1/Rainbow Servant 4/Something else X would be pretty good, even if it isn't as good as Beguiler 1/Rainbow Servant 10 in it's upgrade over the standard class. But most classes set their requirements to include some skill which sets a hard limit.

Out of curiosity, what is the build you are using that gets access to higher level spells?

[Exemplis]

Sometimes a level can matter.
Ok. Try entering Magelord. It can be entered as early as Wiz3 with some flaws if you somehow manage to get access to lv5 spells.

I mean sure, I guess, but you are a level 7 character, so why not just be a level 5 Wizard with two PrC levels or even a level 1 or 2 Wizard with 5-6 PrC levels instead?

You could totally just slap on Illumian + Heighten+Sanctum Spell+Extra spell and grind out a 9th level slot if you really cared and your DM is letting that fly.

Because with that build I can have 6th level spells. Thanks for the idea though.

That doesn't work, since Spellhoarding and Loredrake both require you be a true dragon.

[nedz]

Human or Elf Paragon, which you can enter at level 1.

It will cost you a caster level though so YMMV.

[Endarire]

Ruathar (Races of the Wild). It's also enterable at level 2 with the right feats and GM acceptance.
