[QUOTE="El Jefe, post: 1814964, member: 19990"] Very good post. There are some well-considered thoughts in there. :) Almost everything I've contributed to the milleu of LEW has been through my character...either from his history or from his interaction with the other characters (which is really just a tool for developing the richness of that character, as well as moving the game along). So how did I develop that character? Well, having been out of DnD for years, I took a look at the SRD, spotted a couple of PrCs that I thought would fun to play at the epic level, then set about answering the question of what would a character who qualified for those classes look like at first level? Everything has been an expansion and extrapolation of that. It's been fun and rewarding, and all done with the "bland", "cookie-cutter" PrCs from the 3.5 DMG/SRD. I have no problem with LEW-oriented PrCs. I haven't seen one submitted that I would personally want to play, but hey, if it fits into the game well and makes another player happy, I'm all for it. I'd think that character-oriented PrCs would be harder to balance and adjudicate, but if the DMs and Judges here feel up to it, why not? As for attracting and retaining new players, I'd think that if the LEW-specific PrCs were as well written up as the ones in the SRD and placed in an easy-to-find location in the Guide to Living EnWorld, I don't think that should put off any new players. Given that, it would be easy enough for someone new to browse through the material, get a better feel for millieu while doing so, and decide if any of the world-specific PrCs was right for their next character.
