[QUOTE="FrankTrollman, post: 1123816, member: 14225"] No. It's [i]using[/i] the system. That's what the rules mean when they say that you can choose a different class [i]every level[/i]. They mean... you can multiclass [i]every level[/i]. Every single level you choose which class to take a level in, and those choices are supposed to be balanced. I can make an argument for massively multiclassing being balanced against taking 20 levels of Rogue or Wizard or Cleric. The fact that I cannot do the same for Fighter should tell you something. Thousands. It's a list of thousands of feats now. But you select Prestige Classes from a list of thousands too. Unless you are prepared to tell me that the list of abilities available from [i]feats[/i] are [i]better[/i] than the list of abilities available from the first level of prestige classes (which I'll remind you: include "Bonus Feat of your choice"), then selecting a new PrC every level is automatically [i]at least as good[/i] as taking a level of Fighter that happens to give a bonus feat. And half the Fighter levels don't even do that. And every level could be the first level of a Full BAB PrC. Therefore the Fighter class is definitionally underpowered. Do the math. -Frank [/QUOTE]
