While I liked playing with the prestige classes and all, I used them to build on the charater type I wanted. I wanted to play a deadly two weapon fighter I may go to the dervish prestige class, but then I modified the back story to make it an ancient elvish fighting style from the time when the elves of eberron still favored fighting with steel, and not magic. On the flip side I keep seeing a 4e character build as very very contraining to my sense of being able to tailer the class and come up with back story. I pretty sure it's just the way my brain works the 3e tickled that creative nerve more than 4e seems to have so far. I think a lot also has to do with the fact that so far I've only been able to play 4e as a one off. But so far it just seems to feel like a very tight jacket that is limiting my creative freedom with bringing out a character that can do what I want with a crazy backstory that tickles my inner bard. I know this isn't fair, but it is simply the way me brain works every time I start looking at a character for 4e. Abilities, check. Stats, check. Items, check. Now what cool things can I do with my character? My brain just never seems to move beyond that, and get to the cool back story that can tie all of it together.-Ashrum</blockquote>
