At 10 levels, PrCs should just be sub-class or class.Feats you get roughly every 4 levels, so to re-create this PrC (Rune Scribe) using feats would take roughly ALL of your feat slots spread over most of your career...ouch. With a PrC you can dive in. Given those two points, 5 level PrC does occupy space between feats (infrequent but big gains) and class/sub-class (frequent but small gains).As for Rune Scribe itself:Seems fine, except for the wonky magic item thing. So you need to find one magic rune and then a mentor to become a scribe, but you don't need a magic item to attune to other runes once you are a scribe...huh? That seems ham-fisted and kludgy to me.I don't mind the spellcasting issue. If you take 3 levels of Rune Scribe or less, you can sill get level 9 spells in main class, at the cost of "more runes." So really the whole "can't get 9th level spells" thing is only valid for level 4 and 5 rune scribes with full progression spellcasting class.I think this whole elemental rune thing is nice for a PotA campaign. Maybe my group entering wave echo cave will find one of these runes and maybe Gundren's brother (Darden?) can be a Rune Scribe...Be a nice little bump for PotA.Final Note: Interesting how they did the 4th level ability "Living Rune". I'd prefer a standard Ability Score Increase that could be swapped for an (optional) feat as per PHB.</blockquote>
