Talk:Harper scout

They weren't released in the same edition. Harper Scout was 3.0, Harper Agent was 3.5. You can evidence this either by reading the FRCS then the PGtF and then looking through your 3.5 sourcebooks for Harper character stat lines/blocks and noticing that if they have a Harper PrC, then they are Harper Agents rather than Scouts. hashtalk 15:35, 26 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Normally, I would disagree that 3.5 is a separate edition (more like a development patch in my mind) but upon further examination in this particular case you may have a good point. Comparing Harper scouts and Harper agents does show a remarkable similarity, beyond the obvious name. A similar degree of correspondence can be found between guild thieves and Shadow Thieves of Amn. Furthermore, Ailyn Moonblade, who is listed here as a Harper scout, is apparently a Harper agent under 3.5 rules.
 * So if there there no objections from anyone else, I'd be fine with merging them. 2 votes for merge. Niirfa-sa 06:49, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

I vote for the merge. It says on page 48 of Player's Guide to Faerûn that the Harper agent is simply an update of the Harper scout, with the exception that, instead of having a unique spell list, they advance in spellcasting level as if they'd leveled up a previous spellcasting class.
