If your character concept is "I'm a swashbuckler... I'll be going Fighter/Rogue", or "Primitive Shaman... Druid/Barb/Ranger" then you're already roleplaying the "change". You're doing better than that, because you've started establishing what your character will be like before getting close to taking those extra levels. As with almost everything in roleplaying, I think it'd probably be better to use the carrot than the stick, though. If someone doesn't want to roleplay their character growing and changing (a pretty exciting thing to play out), then they may very well just not be that interested in exploration of their character. You can encourage people to be interested, but you can't make them do it. Telling them they flat out can't take a base class is probably just going to alienate them.Prestige classes, though, hey, they're optional. Knock yourself out making PCs jump through any hoops you want. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
