[QUOTE="Thanatos, post: 227847, member: 5261"] Lily and Rackhir - Thank you for the comments, I do appreciate them. On to a reply: Lily - There are some official exceptions to the recommendation of PrC's representing organizations and groups and not individuals, such as the Majester and Spellfire Wielder from Magic of Faerun I believe (at work and without D&D books). Well, more then one person could take the class, technically. If they had the means to obtain a Heart Bow of the proper alignment (matching theirs). Really that isn't an issue as all my other players are pretty ho-hum about it. I realize the requirements are designed to limit when someone can take a prestige class. I simply don't agree that in all cases it should be the only consideration. Spellfire Wielder is another example of this, requiring the DM to okay it so someone can take it. High Level for us would be 13+. We are considering the Epic Handbook release. Once I get the book, I might revisit this PrC. The PC in question won't be 8th level by the time the book is released, so I have some time to consider how to pursue this. Obviously the BAB has been addressed. I've actually considered raising that slightly. I don't have a problem with this player being a powergamer, nor really any of my players. Yes, the player is aware she would lose significant power should something happen to her bow. No, she wouldn't complain, she accepts the fact she will be greatly dimished without it -- but then I am not the type of DM that would take it away or destroy it without giving her some torturous method that would give her the opportunity to adventure to re-obtain it. I've used this bow/concept before in 1st Edition AD&D with the same player years ago and she begged for me to find a way to bring it back...and this seemed better then making he wait till 17+ to give her the bow like I did last time. I realize it may not fly in your campaigns or with your players...but all of our campaigns and players are different...I was mostly looking to see if others thought it was balanced in concept. Rackhir - I didn't realize that. I will have to get the books those are in. I will consider the Improved Weapon Specialization though, that seems pretty sound advice. Again, thank you both. [/QUOTE]
