Arabian Adventures?

[Olive]

I checked it out, but some of it made my forehead wrinkle. I mean, mamluk as a PrC? A mamluk is someone...a slave who was trained in warfare since childhood. You can't really "become" a mamluk by choice. :\

The don't allow the PCs to and just give high level NPCs the PrC and lower elvel ones yu give feats, skills etc as if they were going for the Prc. Works for me! you don't have to allow every PrC free access. Add "Special: must have been raised as a slave from birth, and trained towards the class since childhood', or whatever.

The rest were...o.k. I would rather have had them as straight out classes rather than PrCs. Other old kits like askar, faris, rawun, and such. can then become cultural names for fighter, paladin, bard, etc. Outland barbarian needs nothing more than some blurb about how they tie in to the setting.

I really don't like new core classes most of the time, except for spellcasters whose abilities can't be replicated at all byt he normal rules. But notes of flavour, feat choices etc would be great, and the best way to do it. Ideally, PrCs can exist which replicate higher level abilites and get rid of the need for irritating multoclassing. But remember that just because a PrC has a name in game terms, that doesn't mean that only characters with that class can be members of that organisation or whatever. It just represents the typical training for that class, or skills only available from that organisation.
