    Default Lists of race restricted classes?

    Simply put, for 3.5, is there a list or lists out there of prestige classes with hard racial restrictions?

    For context: The reason I want these is because I do not play dwarves. A lot about them rubs me the wrong way, and there's a long list of reasons why I just do not see myself playing one. However, I've been challenged to do it anyway, and want to get the most out of it I can by it letting me explore options I could otherwise never touch. I know I have seen several classes over the years where I really liked the abilities; only to be frustrated by the entry requirement of Race: Dwarf...

    Any 1st party 3.5 and any Dragon Magazine content welcome. Please no PF, unless it is for completeness sake.

    The closest thing I could come up with is Troacctid's list of spellcasting classes; through a quick filter I've found this:

    Ollam
    Cave Stalker
    Justice Hammer of Moradin
    Deathwarden Chanter
    Runesmith
    Faith Scion
    Dwarven Chanter

    Non-spellcasting classes are not covered, but for those I'd recommend a quick look to:
    - Races of Stone
    - Races of Faerun
    - Tome of battle


    Hope this helps.

    This custom google search seems like a decent alternative if you can't find a proper list.

    Edit: it might miss classes where "dwarf" is not the only or the first race mentioned, I didn't check whether something like Stoneblessed showed up.

    78% of DM's started their first campaign in a tavern. If you're one of the 22% that didn't, copy and paste this into your signature.

    Iron soul forge master from magic of incarnum.

    Iron Mind for your psionic dwarf. Races of stone.

    Dwarven defender from the dmg.

    Deep stone sentinel from Tome of Battle.

    Dwarf paragon from unearthed arcana.

    Various racial substitution levels in races of stone, magic of incarnum, etc.. A way to modify base classes on your way to a dwarven prestige class. For example you could take dwarf substitution levels for fighter 1 and 2 and three levels of dwarf paragon and then get into a dwarf prestige class like stone lord to be the dwarviest of dwarves.

    Hang on, I know I came across a quick-reference that included this...

    Here we go. A quick summary of most prestige classes, with indexes sorting them into various categories, including race-specific ones (that index is pg. 4, btw). It's missing at least a few PrCs, but still a remarkably comprehensive project.

    And a Guide index for future needs.

    For Maximum Dwarf per square Dwarf, I like the idea of Battlesmith (RoS) paired with Ironsoul Forgemaster (MoI) or Hammer of Moridin (PGtF). Cram in two levels of Deepwarden (RoS) for extra meatiness. Dwarf Paragon (UA) to taste.

    As part of the base classes leading up to the prestige classes there are nice dwarf fighter substitution levels too.
