I guess, they are what is mostly referred to as 'casual players'. Quite recently one of them declined taking level in the Radiant Servant of Pelor prestige class even though he wanted to play 'a cleric that was good at healing and fighting against undead'. He said he thought it was too complicated (?!) and he'd rather go for a straight cleric of Pelor...Since it means more work for me to look for fitting prestige classes you can bet I'd prefer it if they did it themselves!I'm also quite lenient regarding the prerequisites and have introduced retraining precisely because of stuff like this. Since psionics are an important part of my campaign there's also psionic reformation readily available.Anyway, it's true of course that for some characters prestige classes simply won't do much. E.g. I couldn't think of a prestige class for the party's psion that offered more than simply continuing to take psion levels. Druids are another example.And that's what made me start this thread, since it seems that in Pathfinder it's even more beneficial than in 3e to just continue taking levels in your base (and favoured) class.</blockquote>
