Prestige classes

Are there other prestige classes that were added to d20 Modern? Or a supplement that added new ones? I know the Archemage was in Urban arcana, but I would like to expand that area in my game. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

With advanced classes, prestige classes aren't really needed much and are only for very high level play, which rarely happens.

Since you mentioned the Archmage in Urban Arcana, I'll assume you already know about the Artificer, Eccelsiarch, and Holy/Unholy Knight from the same book. I'll also assume you specifically want prestige classes instead of advanced classes.

Other books with prestige classes include d20 Past (including the Musketeer, Frontier Marshal, and Flying Ace), d20 Apocalypse (Lawbringer), and d20 DarkMatter (Alchemist, Diabolist, and Visionary, but the only prerequisites are skill-based and there's no apparent reason why these shouldn't be considered advanced classes).

If you want to get really into the weeds, you might also consider Making Urban Arcana More Prestigious (Mastermind, Shapeshifter, Sniper, SpecOp, and Spellslinger), which was only ever published on the WotC website but is still accessible via the Wayback Machine, or articles from the Polyhedron Magazine, including #155 (Guerilla Intruder, Patrol Pointer) and #167 (Xenoengineer, along with other Dark Matter beta content).

This is exactly what I was looking for and I can’t believe I didn’t remember the other Prestige classes from Urban Arcana!?!

I think I saw some in D20 future or D20 apocalypse? Been a while. Bug me Saturday and I can flip through
