Im looking to switch to the weapon master class and i have all the feets and a four ranking in intimidate skill. Except i have a -1 penelty from my do to my constitution, thus dropping it down to the 3 in that skill. Does anyone know if that would cause me to not be able to switch to the weapon master, or is it because of the way they have the prestige classes set up. I would like to know if its also set up like the ARCANE ARCHER class where you have to seek out a specialist or go on a quest to unlock the class. If that is so if anyone out there has any information on how i can go about doing that it be much appreciated.
sorry meant -1 penelty from my charisma

Only thing that matters is how many ranks you have not the actual modifier so you're alright. As for a scripted quest there isn't one for the WM so you will need a DM to help you unlock the PrC (since there aren't any PCs with 10 WM levels that I know of)

I had 8 CHA (note, Charisma not constitition
), and therefore a -1 to Intimidate skill. It mattered not, it is just the ranks.

Avlis locks out all the Prestige Classes by default, including our own custom Holy Warrior ones. To unlock a certain class you need to either find a scripted quest for it, contact a DM with your character background, or find a PC with levels in the class that would be willing to train you and unlock the class for you. We do this to help promote good roleplay, not throw a wrench in your plans for the perfect character. Part of the fun is learning how to access the new class and its abilities. It’s also not impossible to have levels in more than 1 PrC, but it is EXTREMELY difficult to do so. A Character would have to have excellent RP reasons to take levels in two different PrCs.
The last thing to keep in mind is that PrCs aren’t like levels in regular classes. Earning the right to take levels in a PrC is no simple task, and as such, we expect anyone that is serious about RPing that PrC take more than one level in it. A common mistake to make is to unlock Shadowdancer and then only take one level in the PrC for the feat Hide in Plain Sight. DO NOT DO THIS.

IF only there was a list of the prestige classes that have been unlocked already by other players out there so you could somewhat know that your not going to roleplay forever trying to unlock a class that know one has ever taken before.

Prestige classes have to be unlocked for each player. I am sure that all the available prestige classes have players who have taken levels in them. However, that doesn't mean you will be able to without completeing the quest or getting DM help.
Ask around IG to let people know that you are aspiring to be a WeaponMaster, someone will be able to point you in the right direction, and if you ask nice, may even mentor you on the way.

It's pointed out a number of times on these forums how Prestige Classes are handeled and which ones aren't possible to take. It took me one minute to find this post --->
viewtopic.php?t=23954 in the world information forum. That should be enough, I think.
Every other possible Prestige Class has been taken by now. Besides maybe people wouldn't like to have the fact that their character gained blackguard levels widely known.
Just my two cents
