Message: <blockquote data-quote="Larry Fitz" data-source="post: 197365" data-attributes="member: 3949">PrC's, Are they wrong, or just plain evil?I like PrC's that fill a niche, like Bounty Hunter (an 'Urban Ranger' designed to hunt men, not monsters) or The Arcane Archer (Elves are sensitive to magic and literature portrays them as phenomenally talented with bows, seems a natural) but the point to PrC's is that the majority of characters in a game world aren't in them. By being focused on being a Necromancer you are already fairly marginalized, do you really need to go further in that direction? I believe Umbran's point was that DM's who just agree to let PC's use anything they can find in Print are being lazy (I LIKE Monte Cook's Alternative Ranger, but I read every word twice and tweaked one or two things before allowing it to be used in my campaign). I agree with the sage and sapient Umbran, I suspect he has fine taste in cigars, foreign automobiles and restaurants that serve baby-back ribs as well, but of course I have a rich imagination...You can be a Necromancer with some great Magical item creation feats or other metamagic feats that still enhance your 'creepiness'. For instance have Animate Dead as a Quickened spell so that as soon as you kill a foe, he rises in your service... Take Silent Spell so you get the added creepiness of being quiet as the grave when you cast, get Vampiric Touch as  a Signature Spell (you are in FR right?) and then wear gloves all the time, because your very touch has become a thing of Necromantic Power. You can create a unique character without a PrC if you really want to, perhaps it is the term "Prestige Class" which causes this problem, becauise they are thought of as prestigious, PC's think that the only way to be playing a cool higher level character is to play a PrC....  Just my thoughts on the subject..."But Professor, what's to keep him from turning ME into a toad?"-Andy, the Professor's young ward just moments before the 'incident'.</blockquote>
