I've another question for the D&D hardcores out there. Late yesterday I ended up discovering (yes, I never knew before) that Harper Scout and Harper agent are actually 2 different PrCs...it appears. Harper Scout was created in D&D 3.0, while it appears Harper Agent was created in D&D 3.5. I have long gone off the assumption that NWN just horribly botched the implementation of Harper Agent, but I now stand corrected that they actually implemented the true Harper Scout class fairly close to source.

I've identified Harper Scout as one of NWN's prestige classes that should receive some modification for Thay to make it more attractive/playable here, and this now kind of throws a wrench in things.

But my question for the D&D fanatics: Do any of you know if Harper Agent was actually meant to replace Harper Scout? While they are very similar in some things (like the special god-in-the-name feats they get), are they truly two separate PrCs? Or did the powers that be intend that Harper Agent replace Harper Scout in D&D 3.5 rules? I'm thinking 'no, the are two separate PrCs', but if anyone knows for certain, please do share that info.
