Complete Warrior preview & speculation

[(Psi)SeveredHead]

50-60 pages of PrCs is way to much for me out of a 160 page book. I cancelled my pre-order and will probably wait for a chance to thumb through it.

That's a lot of wasted paper IMO - maybe I can talk my DM into buying it instead.

I doubt it will be that many pages of PrCs. I'd say closer to 40-45. I can't see the book being over 1/3 PrCs...

Consider the 16 PrCs in the DMG took 22 pages. Thats 1.375 pages each. 36 Prcs times 1.375 is 49.5 pages of PrCs. I dont use PrCs thus nearly 1/3 of the book is a waste of time for me.

Let's hope that Wizards include rules on mass combat that includes everything from artillery, war wagons (including the use of elephants), and chariots.

Personally, I'm hoping they could follow Complete Warrior with a Complete Mariner book with ship combat rules.

Personally, I'm hoping they could follow Complete Warrior with a Complete Mariner book with ship combat rules.

They'll only do that if the Mariners win the World Series, to capitalize on that kind of promotion.

36 Prestige Classes?!?!?!?! 36?

I think your likely to find the mass combat rules in the Miniatures Handbook.

I still wanna see The Incomplete Warrior.

Why is everyone so down on PrC's?

 

[maddman75]

I'm down on PrCs because I already have 40 zillion of them. And I don't have that impressive of a collection. The WotC spaltbooks, heroes of high favor books, manual of the planes, and BoVD - just with those I have more PrCs that I could ever need. Any more, and I'll need to create them custom for my campaign.

Why is everyone so down on PrC's?

Speculation:

Because you have more PrC's and feats than you can use in your entire lifetime. Add them up, and figure how long it takes for you to achieve 20th level and figure you how many feats and prc's you could put in that character.

You could never use them all!

I'll have to second that answer for me, too. WotC alone has probably produced some 200 or more Prestige Classes (*and that's probably underestimating a great deal). Add to that other d20 Companies, and the number of times an archetype has been re-hashed is quite depressing.

Does anyone know of a list of all published PrC's on the net somewhere, by chance?

Even so, if they were ORIGINAL, I would see interest in them; however, the number of classes produced thus far is so excessive that they become very wasted space to me personally. I guess it's part of that "Jading" I was talking about in an earlier thread.

C'mon, Eberron! C'mon, The Deep! C'mon, DawnForge! But I can't say that about 50 pages of yet more Prestige Classes.
