If D&D classes are based on Stereotypes in the common fantasy media (I.E books and 80s cartoons) then by right Modern Advanced Classes should be based on Stereotypes in the common modern media (like reality) but we get things like brave soldiers, cool martial artists and devout worshippers that turn zombies, thus I am here to right this terrible wrong.
(I couldn't find a space for this in the D20 forum, prestige classes and classes don't exactly fit but any moderator may move it where he pleases, note that this is a joke thread)
