[QUOTE="DarkMaster, post: 1369836, member: 16362"] Can't say anything about the psychic warrior find the whole psychic thing broken so still don't want to touch it. As for prestige class, I found that most of them are good for NPC or evil character (except some high level spell casting PrC like Archamge) Most of them a find too specific. You exceed in a specific aspect of your class but suck on all the other. simple example Gladiator. Fine your very good in the arena but outside you lack on the other fighter. And that goes against the fundamental principle of the hero they need to adapt to different situation and evironement, not restrict themselves (unless you have a very specific type of campaing). Some cool one are only for Evil character( Assassin, blackguard) I usually have a hard time with evil party. I also noticed that a lot of people on these board talk about having character build like Fighter2/Rogue2/PrC1 3/PrC2 4/PrC3 2/PrC4 1/ I have a hard time with that I usually don't let my player take more than 2 related prestige class or three with 5 level or lower. Otherwise you endup with character that are broken and that can exist on paper but don't fit in the campaign world. ie sure you have the requirement to be animal lord and knight of Mergovie(homemade PrC) but why would you as an barbarian/druid/animal lord become a knight? because want to have that special charge? PrC are way of life and should be considered so. [/QUOTE]
