Now why would a character built on martial prowess want to have a high AC?  Why would they want a cheaper method to increase AC?  This must be the sole reason clerics are broken and should be eliminated.A mage can be more protected than a fighter with all the buff spells they can cast.  But that doesn't fit a fighter wizard, where armor does.You aren't confused, so you figure it out.In case you want an explanation to ignore, what I meant was that PrC increased in importance and coverage from 3.0 to 3.5.  Though they are technically optional, they obviously aren't a low priority in the game designers view.  People love them, and the designers cater to that.But, if they are optional, why do you care if I bash one of them?  If they are optional, the DM can change them however they want, or include only those they like.  My distaste for one has no effect on that.So, no person's collective experience is relevant?  I don't care scientifically poll the D&D community to enlighten you.  But the fact that more focus is being put on PrC should be evidence enough.What this is really about is what makes a good PrC and whether EK is even a PrC.  I maintain that if it is rule patch masquerading as a PrC, it should look more like other PrC.  It should have flavor and balance.  If it is just a negative ECL on a fighter/wizard, do that instead.  As for you, Mr. Sullivan, I look forward to your continuance of this joke of a debate.  It has kept me entertained for hours <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
