I've been doing some research and I was wondering if somebody here could validate any of these claims. From what I've heard, these following prestige classes are underpowered or essentially broken:
- Arcane Trickster
- Blackguard
- Invisible Blade

On a side note, it seems as if some combinations of PrCs and/or core class levels are rather powerful, notably Aasimar Paladin/Sorcerer/Red Dragon Disciple/one other potential PrC (likely Eldritch Knight, Divine Champion or whatever), or Dwarf Fighter/Dwarven Defender/Weapon Master. I'd like to hear any potential powerful combinations other people have in the game.

Having not played the game in over a year Im not sure what my opinion is worth but since the game is designed from v3.5 its not shocking that some combos or builds are stronger than others. When I did play, I had a Paladin/Divine Champion and he wasnt over-powered in the slightest.

It is, but some PrC were hard to code into the game and so were slightly altered (read nerfed). I don't know about Arcane Trickster and Invisible Blade, but Blackguard suffered from it (no spell progression, just dumb Hurt and Inflict X Wounds 1/day or something).

Bard/Harper seems pretty weak unless you're part of a party and buffing them.

In video games you can't do much, it's all comes down to numbers and a lot of the classes are useless from this point.
