[QUOTE="Felix, post: 1704520, member: 3929"] Actually since the first level of all base classes give something pretty nifty, I could see some argument for all classes requiring something before taking them. They wouldn't quite be PrC's, but it would allow for a touch of diversification within the class ranks, and also thin out the multiclassing crowd. Wizard would require 4 ranks in Knowledge (arcane) Cleric 4 ranks in Know (religion) Fighter requires Weapon Focus or 4 ranks in Knowledge (tactics) Rogue requires either Alertness, Stealthy, or 4 ranks in Bluff Bard requires 4 ranks in Perform Monk requires 4 ranks in Tumble Druid requires 4 ranks Know (nature) Ranger requires 4 ranks survival. Paladin requires 4 ranks in Profession (squire) And Barbarian and Sorc could only be taken from 1st level since they're something you are, and not really something you learn how to be. So these guys would be a little scarier since they could have two PC class levels where others had only 1... I'll think about this one. So players would have one level of Expert, two levels of full HP, an expanded class skill list from Expert, a +2 to Will saves, which everyone likes, and since it's an expert level, you wouldn't really need to make challenges that much tougher. It's just a representation of what the PC was doing in their adolescence that prepared them for a class level later in their life. [I]Turn Undead Edition!!![/I] :) [/QUOTE]
