[QUOTE="rowport, post: 2024715, member: 9729"] Sorry if this is a silly question... Some Prestige Classes provide advancement with Core Class Abilities as if another level of the class was taken. Spellcasting levels is a common one of course, but I have also seen Monk Abilities and Druid Abilities advancement as well. My question is: if you pursue the PrC, then return to the Core class (presumably when you finish the PrC), does your ability "stack" with the Core levels, or just give you the advancement faster, then stop? An example might help: Assume I am a Druid taking Nature's Warrior (a 5 level PrC from Complete Warrior). Nature's Warrior includes "Wilding", which advances Wild Shape abilities for each of its class levels as if you took a Druid level. So, a Druid 5/Nature's Warrior 5 has the same Wild Shape abilities as a Druid 10. So far, so good. But here is my question. If the Druid 5/Nature's Warrior 5 then returns to Druid 6, that would normally give only Wild Shape 2/day which he already got at Nature's Warrior 1. So, does he not get any benefit there? Or, does it 'skip ahead' on his Wild Shape abilities as if he took Druid 11? [/QUOTE]
