[QUOTE="BiggusGeekus, post: 2526497, member: 1014"] Fair enough. This is going to affect more than spellcasting though. Just be on the alert. If you toss out LA, but introduct monster levels, I don't much of a problem either provided on the disposition of your gaming group. That said, if you think everyone's going to play a drow, drop the spell resistance. As long as the PC isn't eligible for the PrC until the minimum level, you should be OK. If a PC wants to be a Dwarven Defender at level 3, just send him on some kind of wacky quest that will take a few levels to resolve. By the time he gets back, he can be level 6 and you're all good. That said, some of the restrictions are in there because some of the PrCs stack with existing feats and skills at the lower range. Keep an eye out. I agree. Drop them or re-wire them. The Valus campaign setting introduces them as "Pem", basically reclusive earth-faeries. I like Pem a lot more than I like Gnomes. Drop it. The exp penalty isn't necessary for balance. It really isn't that big a deal. If you want to encourage preferred classes, I think you're better off with giving the PC a nice low level item if they start in their preferred class. So a half-orc can begin the game with a free masterwork battleaxe, an elven wizard can begin with a 1st level spell scroll, etc. Happy gaming! [/QUOTE]
