[QUOTE="Particle_Man, post: 2250897, member: 892"] I think the DM needs to prune down the prestige classes to what would fit in his campaign. This would fit into two categories: "Multi-class" prestige classes: Mystic Theurge, Eldritch Knight, Arcane Heirophant, etc. Those prestige classes that let you multi-class as a spell-caster without completely sucking. I think this is a general service to all DMs so see it as useful to all DMs. "Hey I have an organization just like this!" prestige classes: Where you have a group in your campaign in your head, and a prestige class fits the bill perfectly. I would imagine that "assassin" would be quite common in most campaigns, while "Red Mage" would not. All the others should be disallowed in your campaign as DM. I know this is hard, but the DM has to be firm on this sort of thing. Otherwise, it is too chaotic. Note: a ballsy DM might also have another category of prestige classes: the "it exists in my world for npc's but you can't play one" prestige class. If you don't want evil pc's then the aforementioned assassin might fit in that category. Oh, the same calculation should be done with base (20 level) Classes, of which there are, what, 30 now by wotc alone? [/QUOTE]
