List
A note about organisation: The "core" products
in each category are listed first, with all products thereafter
listed alphabetically. Unrevised products are marked "(3.0)"
and have had those prestige classes which have been revised in
subsequent products removed from their list. Unrevised products
appear after revised products. Those classes appearing in Dragon
Magazine prior to the revision may or may not have been revised;
similarity of name alone is not sufficient indication. Those sharing
names with revised classes are marked "(3.0)" but remain
listed.
