[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 1362615, member: 2205"] IMO, prestige classes and multiclassing miss the boat. If you have a character concept, you want to play it right away, not have to graduate to it at 6th level or worse. Especially for a fairly basic concept like a swashbuckler, I don't want to try to cobble one together with multiclassing, because I get a lot of "junk" features with a combination of rogue and fighter that don't contribute to my concept and don't make sense to my concept. I don't want to wait until I can get the duelist prestige class to [i]start[/i] playing my concept. What I really want is a core class, balanced against the standard core classes, but not restricted by the "classic D&D" paradigm of what classes I should play. So no, I don't see there being a problem with new core classes, even if they do replace some prestige classes and even if they do replace multiclassing options. I think those are patches to get around holes in the system, for the most part. The swashbuckler archetype in particular is one I think that is glaringly missing from the core class lineup. [/QUOTE]
