Message: <blockquote data-quote="incognito" data-source="post: 573162" data-attributes="member: 7008">A good reply!one point: There are other ways to reward those who level besides PrCs.  The classes that have "enough toys" through the life of the character, may be weak to start with.  Those players had to live with that (or multi-class). PrC are not really the solution ot the problem - or they are the over solution.  They can make core calsses obsolete.  That does not seem right.Take the case of a character who has gone though 10 levels of a PrC after taking 5 levels of ranger.  Now he's 15th level, going on 16th, and the rest of the ranger class does not look good enough to him, or any otehr class.  What does that say about the player?  NONE of the other core classes appeal to him!  None! I'm having a hard time no one see the problem with this.And I will say:  Seasong, you're a better man than I.  I have missed holes in spells, feats, items, even skills.  Moreover, it's simply another thing to wrangle out with my PCs, who are busy asking about buying items from shops, exploring the town, chasing politcal ties, hacking away at the local militia, etc, etc, etc.  I have a lot to track.With regard to your 1a, b, 2 points.For me: PrCs exist.  Custom ones can exist.There are times when I BELIEVE in a PrC for a character.  I'll bring it up when the time comes, if it comes.  And I'll make sure the character knows about it enough in advance to make the Pre-req, or not make the pre-reqs if he does not want the PrC.  I simply cannot accept having them available at the players bequest. and CERTIANLY not, all of a sudden, right at the time a character would level.Point in case: The party stared at L3 with a halfling wizard.  Over the course of 3 levels the halfling took fire-based spells, the Ignan Language, and ranks of Know (planes).  No one asked him to.  He did not own Tome and Blood.  I suggeted the elementallistPrC.  There is a Druid PrC that I created in my world, that casts Druid spells on the fly, like sorcerers.  There are no druid PCs in my game currently, so I have not told anyone about the PrC.If someone brings in a Druid, and shows a character background that fits the PrC, then if he keeps to the concept in game, I will speak with that player about it.I think that answers where I fall WRT the existence of them in my world.</blockquote>
