[QUOTE="Grazzt, post: 880550, member: 7"] While I am not a fan of anything FFE has done (I have seen and read many of their products only to be disappointed every time), I think this is pretty uh...obvious. Like most other prestige classes (say the cavalier for example or whatever), if it doesnt have the "+1 level of existing spellcaster class" then chances are good you don't get to advance your spellcasting ability. Easy enough. Doesnt mean this is an error. Just no point in telling peeps that as they should already know it (with the plethora of PrC already out there that offer no spellcasting advancement). And not all PrC are gonna advance or allow advancement of spellcasting ability. Not all PrC will be 100% attractive to all classes. That is how PrC work (or at least how they originally did before the "rules" changed). If its not attractive, don't take it. :) If a spellcaster wants to take levels in a particular PrC to gain whatever it is he gains, then he must sacrifice his spellcasting ability sometimes in order to do so. Couldn't call it a "Triad" if it allowed more than three characters to join it. :) I dont consider the above rules errors, nor the "chaotic evil, lawful evil" thing ya mentioned (sounds more like a typo). As for the 4 HD demon prince...again, not a rules error. I agree that a 4 HD demon prince wouldnt last long and is a bit weird, but if that's how it was designed, that's how it was designed....and its not a rules error (unless its feats, skill points, DCs, saves, etc.. are wrong). :) Not defending FFE (as I said, I havent been impressed really with anything they have done and Ward's tirade a few weeks ago didnt score high with me), but I just dont see any of the above as rules errors. Seems more like personal preference ("this is how I wouldve done it" or "this is how it should have been done.") Just me though. [/QUOTE]
