[QUOTE="Dog Moon, post: 2824595, member: 23023"] All the time and at the moment, VERY loose, though in my next campaign, there will be some restrictions, either joining a group to gain the benefits of a PrC or you need to be taught by someone better than you. Only a few PrCs where I believe could be taken naturally without training can a player just enter them without an extra prereq. However, I've decided that in same cases it shouldn't be super easy to go into a PrC just because you want to and by adding that extra prereq, it should add more chances for roleplaying occurances and contacts, which is always good. People in my group LOVE PrCs, probably because for the most part, we see little incentive to continue with a base class to level 20. Level 20 Wizard which gains 1 feat every 5 levels or a few skill points and 2 feats to be able to gain neat bonuses multiple levels and MAYBE lose 1 or 2 levels of spell progression. Gee, which is better? Rarely does a person every go straight up in a Base Class. Just not as fun. Like Piratecat, the characters are only sometimes referred to by their PrC, though in part I believe that is because we refer to them by their base class before they are high enough level to go into a PrC, so it just sticks. Heck, the Paladin in my group is referred to a Paladin even though she just gained 7th level, only had 3 levels in Paladin and because she turned Evil, I don't even gain any benefit from Paladin anymore! But she started as level two as 'the Paladin', and it stuck. [/QUOTE]
