All of them 5 levels. Each level gives +1 to an attribute and a Prestige Class benefitYou must be at least 4th level to qualify for 1st level of a prestige class (no variant humans coming in and grabbing it before hand, this also let's them bake in Prestige Class Features that might not be appropriate for a 1st level character)Similarly, you must be at least 8th level overall to pick up 2nd Level of your PC, 12th for 3rd Level, 16th for 4th Level and 19th for 5th Level). This would allow most characters to max out their prime attributes while gaining in the class. You could also start a feat chain later in your career, but you won't be able to max it out unless you are a rogue or a fighter. It would also interact fine with multiclassing since your level would be your overall level and not in just one class (I am not sure if that is a feature or a flaw though). Since it is a chain, you could offer some truly powerful benefits at 16th and 19th level without totally wrecking the system overall. On the other hand.... A lot of the design space that was occupied by Prestige Classes seems to be taken up by the various subclasses/archetypes and I am sure that they will be looking at that as the primary way to deliver this kind of content if they do expand out the system in that way.</blockquote>
