[QUOTE="Terwox, post: 1840365, member: 1044"] MerricB started a good thread about this topic, but this is an offshoot. I dislike the core classes such as Hexblade and Swashbuckler -- I like Eldritch Knights and Fighter/Rogues better, but, I'm wondering which niches haven't been filled with relatively fluffless classes? I'm considering this because I'm working on writing up a prestige class for my most beloved character concept, the paladin/assassin. This made me realize that a few concepts were lacking -- I've still not heard reference to a good Skald (barbarian/bard,) or cleric/thief (missionaries on some muds -- must be sneaky to spread the word in foreign territory.) Not that you can't simply be a barbarian/bard or a cleric/thief, but it's far less helpful than being a fighter/wizard/eldritch knight, or a wizard/thief/arcane trickster. What I'm looking for is if there's a list of these combination classes, in the spirit of the Eldritch Knight, the Arcane Trickster, and the Mystic Theurge, or if anyone has a written a decent set of them. If not, I'd like to expand the concept to include some character concepts I think are entertaining. Further, I'm wondering if there are any core classes that fit the bill here -- I'm generally against these, but I haven't given them much thought. Not that flavorful PrCs are bad, oh no, they certainly aren't, but I think the flavorless PrCs have some promise for taking some weird class combinations, and putting them more on par with single class characters, and the mystic theurges and eldritch knights of the world. So, then, what are some good classes, or places to find this stuff? I'll start by saying the DMG has three good options, of course, already mentioned -- the Eldritch knight (fighter|ranger|barbarian|paladin & wizard|sorceror is viable) the Mystic Theurge (cleric|druid & wizard|sorceror) and the Arcane Trickster (rogue & wizard|sorceror). I'd be especially interested if anyone has made a prestige class for monks who fall from lawfulness and become barbarians... in a campaign that wasn't completed, the monk in the party was quickly losing his lawful focus, and with it lost, probably would have become a raging fighter, per the roleplay... it would have been a great character. But, that's more a fluff choice -- I'm not really looking for something that makes (wizard & sorceror) a good choice... although that would be interesting, I guess. Oh well, enough rambling. Any input? [/QUOTE]
