[QUOTE="Calico_Jack73, post: 1366772, member: 14403"] I have yet to find any the "won't work". Some PrC's have become VERY unbalanced though due to the changes. Take the Forsaker for example from the Masters of the Wild Splatbook. All a Barbarian would need to qualify is 3 Feats that I usually take anyway, Iron Will, Great Fortitude, Lightning Reflexes. Every Forsaker level (there are 10) grants a +1 bonus to a stat. Now, lets say that you got really lucky and rolled an 18, played a Half-Orc Barbarian, and assigned that stat to Str so your starting stat is 20. We'll also say that every normal stat bonus at your "4" levels is also put into Str so that will give you a Str of 25 by the time you are 20th level. You take the 10 levels of Forsaker so you now have a 35 Strength without raging. Last but not least you have 10 levels of Barbarian to go with your 10 levels of Forsaker so you still only get +4 to your Str when your rage but we are talking about a strength of 39!!!!! That is +14 to your BAB for a total of +34 without any feats and if you are using a Two Handed weapon you'll be doing weapon damage + 21. The only downside to the Forsaker is that they can't use magic items but who cares? They regenerate hit points on a round by round basis. They also get the ability to ignore damage reduction with non-magical weapons. [/QUOTE]
