Message: <blockquote data-quote="Borlon" data-source="post: 2606614" data-attributes="member: 27589">If it had said that the default rule was that a character who no longer meets the prerequisites could no longer advance, I would have accepted it.  (Epic Dragon Disciple is not worded so that dragon apotheosis disqualifies people from entering, is it?)  The situation would then be like bards who become lawful or barbarians who become chaotic.They could even have given some criterion for which classes would work like paladins or druids; the ones that lose their powers if the alignment gets too far out of whack.  Classes with divine casting have to meet alignment restrictions, or something.I think that would have been, as the Jester puts it, a fine rule.  Or pair of rules.But just saying that if *any* prerequisite is no longer met, then *all* class features and special abilities are lost... that's just a little over the top.What really peeves me is that there are not that many prestige classes in the DMG; shouldn't rules that are intended to apply to all prestige classes be checked first to see if they are compatible with the core rules?  And if certain feats aren't to be used with the core classes (I'm looking at you, Precocious Apprentice!) either fix them or don't print them.But, to get back on topic, I take it the issue of CW 16 has never been officially addressed?</blockquote>
