I apologize for missing that combination. Now that I play a cleric/rogue in Erik Mona's game, I can see where the support is woefully lacking for the combo. Oopsie! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":o" title="Eek!    :o"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":o" /> Variant Class Features: Wes and I wrote this before PHBII came out, and in fact we didn't even know about PHBII until the last few weeks of our work on the book. Had I known about variant class features earlier, I would have written dozens. Dozens, I say! I love variant class features, as anyone who hangs out on the Paizo boards (or reads Class Acts) can attest to. This is one of those areas where I'd love to be able to go back. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Organizations v Affiliations: Ditto above. Affiliations FTW. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /> Tricks: IIRC, there's a little sidebar in there that talks about the difference between tricks and feats. Tricks are like feats-lite. They aren't as good as feats so they aren't feats. I don't think I'm helping here so I'm going to stop wriLuck: I only wish characters got more feats, so they could take more luck feats, because luck is fun! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Short Prestige Classes: I don't remember why we decided to go with shorter prestige classes. I also don't recall writing that many. I think some got widdled down in development to tighten the focus. Which, just from my own personal design philosophy, I really like. But YMMV.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> I'll be monitoring this thread to answer questions (well, those questions I can answer, anyway). So feel free to toss some at me. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> (But if you flame me I'll leave. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />)</blockquote>
