[QUOTE="demon_jr, post: 410780, member: 3480"] hehe, sounds like the character i am playing right now... two things to keep in mind: be sure that the prestige class you want is acceptable to the DM. i made the mistake of assuming that every prestige class presented in the WOTC books was available, since it was from the "official" source. that wasn't the case since he made it a point to mention to the group that not all prestige classes were going to be made available, even the one's in the "official" books, like Oriental Adventures. my DM felt that he was being forced to let prestige classes that he didn't like into the campaign, just because it was in the "official" books. i disagree with this, since it makes me feel that our group's selection of prestige classes is highly dependent upon whether or not the DM "likes" a particular prestige class. i understand the DM has the right to disallow a particular prestige class or rule in the campaign if they feel it doesn't fit, but still.... anyways... if you plan to play epic levels, in my opinion, having too many classes can be detrimental in the long run. i don't have the book with me at the moment, but if i remember correctly, some of the epic abilities out there are only available to characters who are 21 level or higher in a core class or 11 level or higher in a prestige class. i could be wrong though, but i kinda wished that i didn't pick so many different classes, and had a more focused character.
