Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nyeshet" data-source="post: 3748801" data-attributes="member: 18363">There are a few PrCs that seem like they could work this way. For example, in Complete Psionic, two of the PrCs for soulknives could have been reduced to just a couple feats each. One basically just granted the mind blade positive energy so it did more damage to undead. Why not just make a feat of that? The other allowed a mind blade to be 'thrown' 100 ft instead of the standard 30 ft and later on granted another ability for thrown mind blades as I recall: again why not just replace it with two feats? In both instances five class levels are wasted to gain the equivalent of just a feat or two. But there are other PrCs that worked (sometimes well, sometimes poorly) as patch PrCs, and there were a few that could not have worked well as a set of feats because feats are not gained every level, or because they removed a level of casting for two or three specials or something to that effect. Also, would you really want PCs to be able to gain energy resistance, natural armor, divine grace (cha to saves), and so forth as feats? Yet some PrCs granted such - often when good thematic reasons (elemental specialization, paladin esque focusing of class, etc).</blockquote>
