[QUOTE="drnuncheon, post: 802836, member: 96"] ...at the cost of a feat, which you only have 2 to 4 of at 3rd level. Most PrCs I've seen don't rely on a single skill keeping you from getting the class early, either. Most melee PrCs are going to have a BAB requirement. Most spellcaster PrCs are going to have a minimum spellcasting requirement. And most other PrCs have multiple skill requirements. Taking the DMG PrCs as examples: - Arcane Archer - no help. - Assassin - if you took the feat twice you could get in at 3rd level. That's all your feats, unless you're a human, in which case you've got one to spend. - Blackguard - no help - Dwarven Defender - no help - Loremaster - no help - you'd never have enough feats at 5th level to get into the class if you bought RSF twice. - Shadowdancer - you could get in a whopping 1 level early, if you were a human. Otherwise you won't have enough feats. I think this is a case of something that "looks scarier than it is" - the only really problematic one is the assassin, which is easily countered if you're concerned about such things by adding a BAB requirement. (An assassin ought to know how to handle a weapon, right?) J [/QUOTE]
