[QUOTE="UltimaGabe, post: 3549940, member: 16019"] It's true, there's quite a bit of wonkiness as far as epic levels and attack bonuses are concerned. The way it's written, a Fighter20/Wizard20 will be FAR better off than a Wizard20/Fighter20. (+10 BAB difference, specifically.) They did this for simplicity's sake (as epic levels would allow the Fighters to get ridiculously good at attacking very quickly, whereas Wizards would just keep getting farther and farther behind- which may or may not be a good thing)- however, it causes some problems, as you've pointed out. Here's my suggestion- prerequisites for prestige classes, specifically BAB and Spellcasting prerequisites, are usually there to limit what at which level you can take them. In other words, they don't want someone below level 26 taking that Divine Emissary prestige class, and they don't want anyone without 17 levels of a straight caster class taking any of those caster PrCs. Well, I say talk to your DM about it- and completely re-work the prerequisites. Show him that obviously it's not overpowered for a 26th-level character to be a Divine Emissary, as the prerequisites gear it that way- so see if he'll waive the BAB prereq for you.
