[QUOTE="BSF, post: 1377425, member: 13098"] I think we have a little misunderstanding going on. But, I do expect my players to speak with me about any PrC's that they may be interested in well in advance of when they want to take it. Otherwise, they may find that I object to the PrC doesn't exist, or exists in a different form than the book. As well, the player may not be aware of all the options. There may be a PrC that fits their concept better. For many PrC's, there may be non-mechanic requirements for eligibility. I need to work with the player to set these requirements up as RP opportunities in the game. You can't be a knight if you never had any loyalty to an organization, or lord. Of course there are PrC's that do not need a mentor. Actually, I expect even better RP for those! Some of the internally driven character changes are the most interesting and the most fun. But, I still won't provide a 'shopping list' of PrC's that are available. I want to talk to the players. Heck, in some cases, I might change PrC requirements to suit a character. If it makes sense, and won't create a character that will always outshine the rest of the group. But, I do expect my players to RP the class advancement/multi-classing/PrC's for their characters to one degree or another. Barak, by the Core rulebooks, you don't advance past level 20. Advancing past 20th level drops you into Epic level rules. Epic characters advance past level 20 but they do not advance BAB or saves in the standard fashion. There are Epic rules for that. However, Epic characters certainly pick up class abilities for a class beyond level 20. If you have maxed out a class, or a 10-level PrC, you can even go with epic progressions in the class/PrC.
