[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 1353050, member: 1465"] I agree with Darklone about hatred for PrCl which uses disposable prerequisites to allow for powerful abilities, and think that both are mistakes. I would not be concerned at all with the balance issue. Instead I would take care of the fact that if you remove some feat as prerequisite, the PrCl (which previously assumed you HAD those feats) may grant something which is a better version of them or which used to have them as requisites. You simply need to check the PrCl, for example if it had Weapon Focus as requisites and later the class gives you Greater Weapon Focus, now that you don't need to have WF if you get GWF it is worth double. It could be slightly more complicated if you needed Dodge, Mobility and Spring Attack and the PrCl granted you Whilrwind Attack as a bonus feat (even if you missed its other reqs)... Beside this facts, taking the prereqs away it only detracts flavor: it's not that hard anymore to qualify - or better, you may enter the PrCl without having planned beforehand. I have always said that prerequsites should be written in a very good way, they are important to define what a PrCl is because they are the only real thing which all PCs of that PrCl have in common (together with at least the PrCl's 1st level features, obviously).
