[QUOTE="kigmatzomat, post: 3138444, member: 9254"] In an existing campaignI would recommend making them true prestige classes, meaning they are only taught to prestigious organizations. E.g. the royal families & their bodyguards, guards of the Temple of ButtWhoop, and the Hand of Death assassins. It's a "secret in plain sight" situation where everyone KNOWS that the guards of Temple ButtWhoop are frighteningly tough but they didn't know they were tough because they were 10th level Martial Adepts as compared to 13th level Fighters. Some Hand of Death Assassins are acquired as child slaves and trained in the rites but they are few and far between. This lets you ease them into your game as the players earn the right to train with these reknowned warriors. Misuse of their gifts or distributing their knowledge result in the PCs being hunted down and killed in a most unpleasant fashion, allowing you to remove Adepts from your players' hands as well. IME GMs tend to have one or two groups that are common knowledge, internally secretive, and dangerous as heck which are the best portals. [/QUOTE]
