how many games had they need to balance this new Prestige classes, spells or feats?¿¿¿¿¿? I think it is imposible they play enought games. Every month how many of this born?¿?. And now we have another classes, the races. THe chitines are sad: Strong like a half ork, fast and sharp like a gray elf, but they are reaaly rudes. They are smalls with a lot of benefits, two kind of mover and a lot of tricks. And who are they?¿? I love the new material, give a lot of ideas for the adventures but i spend a lot time shaping this new rules for my campaing

Uh..you are referring to the Underdark race correct? The one with the +4 ECL?

Coke...coming...of nose...spraying all over...monitor.

And so, you win the PrinceNCAward for Best Us of a Clerks Reference Evar.

But to bring the topic somewhat back on track...

Bring on the PrCs. Bring on the feats. Bring on the spells. As DM, I can NEVER have too many options.

I want to know how much of this book is really new, and how much is "new to 3.5" witch is what I think it will mostly be. WOTC's defination of NEW is different from most people, IMO.

Given that the last version of D&D to have four classes was Red Book BD&D, and every version since then has added more, you're swimming against the tide of history here.

Didn't that one have seven? Fighter, Magic-user, Cleric, Thief, Elf, Dwarf and Halfling. Or was that a difference between Red book and Red box?

I love more prestige classes. Every new prestige class means either a new character idea for someone, or a new possibility for someone to make the exact type of character they want.

And I can always ignore the ones I don't like.

Yep. The value of a PrC is in the eye of the beholder; as an example, I thought the S&S Thief-Acrobat was the most useless thing the world had yet seen, but I'm sure that other people liked it. (How hard, really, would it have been to have given them the Acrobatics ability from OA? I mean, really?)

Since PrC quality is mostly subjective, increasing the supply means that more people will have more PrCs they like and will want to toy with, which increases the Net Fun of the game. And that's cool.

Personally, I want more monk PrCs; my group doesn't usually do anything with third-party stuff, and there are exactly THREE useful monk-centered PrCs in WotC-published books (all three of which, of course, are from OA). Fortunately, Shintao Monk and Tattooed Monk require little in the way of 3.5 conversion to be useful.
