He'd still qualify for most other feats and while he'd have to be a bit more selective in his choices, he's certainly no worse off than the barbarian or paladin that regard.(Unless you're referring to Weapon Supremacy in PHB2. Then the fighter finally has a high-level goal to aim for.)Again, see above. Awww, I thought one the great features of 3e was the fact that a brd1/psi1/sor1/wiz1/hlr1 is a viable character concept if you don't mind being underpowered. We all can't be clr5 after all.(thats not a dig at you, btw.)No question. I actually don't mind some level of optimization, the PC quoted above would be laughed away from our table (if he wasn't slain due to normal play). However, when certain builds clearly overpower all others, somethings got to give.Actually, PrCs are a double-edge sword. 60% of all PrCs aren't worth the ink used to print them because they take away from a classes given role (warrior, nuker, healer, trapfinder), 10% are so good they're no brainers (archmage, radiant servant) except in very specialized builds, and 20% are flavorful, unique, but not over-powering or watering down. I'd say 10% are worthy enough choices to be balanced, but against the other 30% of too-goods (or simply good), they fall in with that bottom 60%.Such is life.</blockquote>
