[QUOTE="Chun-tzu, post: 390962, member: 1441"] Make that three! It comes from an important flaw in the prestige class system. Paladins suffer from the same problem, because it becomes so difficult to prevent spellcasters from taking the same class and becoming WAY too powerful. The prestige class system is nice, but it's flawed. And no one has yet been able to fix this problem, and there may be no good way of fixing it without re-writing the PrC system. The only way I can think of to fix it, is to break down each of the core classes into their major abilities and minor ones. Prestige classes may then enhance an ability (major or minor), and the other abilities would advance at the normal rate or a slower one. Almost NEVER should a class have to completely give up a major ability, the way too many Rogue PrCs completely give up sneak attacks. [/QUOTE]
