Taking the prestige out of classes

[Particle_Man]

I thionk if you just changed the 10 level classes to 20 level classes, giving out the abilities every other level instead of every level, and changing the DC's on some abilities (usually to DC whatever + 1/2 class lvl instead of DC whatever + class level) you won't be too far wrong. If it had a lousy, med, good bab, or bad/good saves, it retains them.

The 5 level classes could go the same way (only now space out every 4 levels) but might not be as fun to do (too many dead levels).

So I urge you to rid your game of any PrC prereqs (including alignment and deeds) and play what you like.

Rejected, and rejected utterly. In my setting, advanced classes and prestige classes represent CULTURAL specializations for which the CULTURE expects certain prerequisites be made. I don't have a vanilla-shopping-mall typical fantasy setting. The prestige classes serve specific functions.
