[QUOTE="payn, post: 9257264, member: 90374"] Not in my PF1 experience. PF1 APs didnt go to level 20, part because high level rules and adventure writing is an absolute chore, and part folks dont care to make it. Instead they leaned into multiclassing and archetypes which allowed unparalleled customization. It's true that prestige classes often were a reduction in power, but they were thematically intertwined in setting and adventure material that just simply isnt present in D&D. YMMV. Single classing to level 20 intention perhaps in PF2. The design sort of knee capped multiclass/archetype/prestige class with their silo'd feat system in style of 4E. The hope was folks would intend to make it to level 20. Though, I suspect folks still are not getting there. Which is why the AP system has gone experimental 1-10, and 10-20 instead of the classic 1-20 (14-16 in PF1) set up. [/QUOTE]
