[QUOTE="Shallown, post: 978606, member: 1368"] I don't have a problem with PrC's as they are presented in books, meaning, somewhat generic. Mainly becuase I understand that they have to be to fit into more Campaigns. I see the whole PrC being in the GM's realm and up to their own playing style to introduce, add role playing elements etc. For Example. I have 4 people of 6 who have PrC's in my game here is how they got there. Bladesinger - Back ground story during the recent war the character met and fought beside and then was rescued by a Bladesinger. he set about from day one to be one. Eventually after mastering the skills neccessary he applied to a bladesinger for training. Windrider - Started as a ranger/fighter who was a scout during the aforementioned war. Became interested in riding and such as the game progressed then stumbled upon a unique steed (Large 1/2 silver dragon wolf) and wanted to learn how to ride it. The trainer said only certain people trained as wind riders had ever mastered such an unusual creature so he petioned and recieved training. (This was a surprise to the GM and player. He gave the 1 level required warning spent the skills points needed in ride to qualify at his next level. It was an instant change in direction or more like a focusing on what he had been dancing around before as a mounted warrior.) Sacred Exorcist - Decided after repeated encopunters that having these skills would be useful went from church to church to find a sect who could teach him. He eventually did. (he was a cleric of no one God which knocked out a lot of prestige classes since he was not dedicated to any one God. Those churches turned him away as not being devoted to X God) Spellfire channeler - Hasn't made this class yet but a fighter/rogue is working on it. Won't get it until like 15th level due to cross class skil requirements. I wouldn't withhold this class becuase the character is one of only 3 people who have spellfire in the world. And the other two are being held hostage/captive in an attempt to flood the world with demon's. He wants this class becuase he knows it once existed and has a sort of journal/instruction guide to what it does and how. He knows (or thinks he does) that having it will help him stop this flood. But as written, none of those PrC's have the flavor, I think, it is the GM's responsibility to put into the Class. I can still use the generic info but I make them very campaign specific and character oriented. This is the way I want to do it not the way every one should. Just my take on PrC's and Flavor. later [/QUOTE]
