The DMG says something about Prestige Classes needing to be fairly specific and Classes needing to be more general. Well . . . I was just thinking the other day that the Bard, Druid, Paladin and Ranger were reasonably specific and could possibly be treated as Prestige Classes.
Coz if you think about it, a Bard is really just a musical Rogue, a Druid is just a nature Cleric, a Paladin is just a Lawful Good Fighter, and a Ranger is an outdoor's Fighter. Yeah sure, they've all got special powers that make them unique, but couldn't these just be picked up in a Prestige Class?
I don't know, I don't like to tamper too much with the rules.
