KOTOR 2 prestige classes: requirements and Jedi or Sith choices
See when prestige training unlocks and compare all six prestige classes without confusing them with the opening Jedi class.
Edition covered
The original The Sith Lords campaign, first released on Xbox in 2004 and PC in 2005. Images are original PC publisher screenshots. Restored Content Mod additions, altered recruitment mods and the MMO are outside these guides.
Speak to Kreia after meeting the requirements
Prestige training requires level 15 or above and a sufficiently strong light-side or dark-side alignment. The relevant alignment ranges are 75–100 for Jedi choices and 0–25 for Sith choices. Speak with Kreia after the associated story scene and finish pending conversations if the training option does not appear.
| Class | Alignment | Broad emphasis |
|---|---|---|
| Jedi Weapon Master | Light side | Weapon combat |
| Jedi Watchman | Light side | Stealth and Sneak Attack |
| Jedi Master | Light side | Force use |
| Sith Marauder | Dark side | Weapon combat |
| Sith Assassin | Dark side | Stealth and Sneak Attack |
| Sith Lord | Dark side | Force use |
Choose a specialization rather than repeating the same role
Weapon Master and Marauder emphasize combat, Watchman and Assassin emphasize stealth and Sneak Attack, and Master and Lord emphasize the Force. Your existing Jedi class does not restrict the choice to its corresponding prestige class. Compare the resulting combination with the role you want to play.
| Question | Check | Suggested response |
|---|---|---|
| Do I mostly use weapons? | Review weapon feats and attack routine | Compare Weapon Master or Marauder |
| Do I exploit disabled or unaware targets? | Review Sneak Attack opportunities | Compare Watchman or Assassin |
| Do I prefer Force-based actions? | Review powers and equipment restrictions | Compare Master or Lord |
| Do I want to combine different strengths? | Read both current and prestige class roles | The original Jedi class does not lock the prestige choice |
Do not assume level fifteen automatically changes the class
The class change happens through dialogue and your selection. Our suggested check is to confirm the level, review alignment and speak with Kreia before spending time grinding more encounters. A character who remains near neutral does not satisfy the alignment requirement simply by being high level.
Keep the distinction between class and lightsaber color
A color crystal changes the blade’s appearance; it does not select Guardian, Consular, Sentinel or a prestige class. Choose your combat progression in the class dialogue. Keep a save before the decision so you can review the choice without repeating a long planet sequence.
