Message: <blockquote data-quote="the Jester" data-source="post: 5033794" data-attributes="member: 1210">Nitpick: Only in 4e are all the books considered "core". In 3e, the PH, MM and DMG are the only core books- not the PH2 et. al. On the subject of prestige classes, I think the Pathfinder approach of making them more flavor choices and less power ups is great. Another thing that would help improve them would be to drastically reduce the qualification hassle- this is something that I think 4e got very right with paragon paths. When the requirements are a class and level and THAT'S IT, it is a wonderful way to open them up to a variety of characters, especially since "class" is easy to get with 4e's multiclassing feats. A few have class feature requirements too, or race, etc., but none that I have seen have a paragraph of prereqs. IMHO, the ideal list of prereqs for something like "Loremaster" would read (in 3e parlance- I haven't read the PF ruleset, so I might be slightly off base here) something like this: "Spellcaster, 6th level, at least two knowledge skills at maximum rank." Boom, that's it. Assassin? "Evil, must kill an innocent to get in, 6th level." Knight of the chalice? "Good, 6th level, must have slain a fiend." And so on.Just MHO.</blockquote>
