[QUOTE="mattcolville, post: 1565880, member: 1300"] I love prestige classes. But. 1. There are too many of them out there. WotC is the worst offender in this regard. 2. WotC is way too anal about using arcane language to get across their intent. They avoid saying "Must be a 5th level Paladin" but will instead come up with a series of restrictions that boil down to "Must be a 5th level paladin." 3. Too many of them are class restrictive. I'd like to see PrCs who's only requirements are "must be 9th level" and let the players decide if the abilities are good for their character. 4. I've come to the conclusion that they distract players from the game. In future, players in my game can only select the PrCs I've created for my setting. If they see a cool PrC in a product, too bad. I like the idea that a PrC represents special insight, or a method of training, or a guild or organization that are unique to the world and it's cultures. [/QUOTE]
