[QUOTE="chatdemon, post: 76648, member: 228"] I think the levels for a pr class should be proportionate to how many levels of a base class you need, so you can 'finish off' your character (until Epic rules come out anyway) in the Pr Class without having to multi-class again at level 18 or 19. For example, say I'm making a pr class called [I]badass summoner[/I]. The concept is that this pr class is for wizards or sorcerors who want to give up some of their range of spells to get bonuses to summoning spells, and some unique powers at high levels that involve summoning. Now, I decide that this class should be able to cast 4th level spells, and they must have at least 2 conjuration spells in their repetoire as well as the Dimensional Anchor spell, to prevent summoned critters from just bounding off when they get bored. This means that a wizard could qualify when he reaches 8th level (since he needs to be 7th level to cast 4th level spells and learn Dimensional Anchor). I would therefore give the Pr class 13 levels, so that the character could reach 20th level without having to multiclass again.
