[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 707769, member: 2012"] The splatbooks, IMO, did try to appeal to both players and DMs. But they (WotC) did a rotten job of it. The Path books by FFG are WAY better and gives sample NPCs and organizations for each Prestige Class idea. What I want is a company to take it to the next level. Detailed NPCs whether they be straight fighters or wizards, or multiclassed characters or characters multiclassed into the basic OGL prestige classes. Each character would have a sidebar showing you (the player or the DM) how to create characters similar to the one presented. Each character would be an archtypical character. Warriors * The Fallen Paladin * The Archer * The Savage Warrior * The Swashbuckler * The Religous Fanatic Bards * The Dandy * The Minstrel Arcane Spellcasters * The Hedge Wizard * The Archmage * The Dragonblooded Clerics * The Loyal Acolyte * The Patriarch Rogues * The Catburglar * The Pickpocket * The Fence etc., etc., etc. Basically, each character would be an example of a blueprint of how to create characters that fall into one of these categories, yet be different every time. Or in other words, you might want your own catburgler instead of the one described in the book. Or maybe you want to combine archtypes. A catburgler who is a religious fanatic. This is what I want! KF72 {EDIT} And you wouldn't neccasarily need PrCs for each archtype. Jsut use the basis character classes and use skills, feats and equipment to build what you need. Of course, some new PrCs would be nice. But like I said before, Not So Much Crunch! [/QUOTE]
