[QUOTE="Mephista, post: 6469355, member: 6786252"] Only a handful of people, in this entire thread, have mentioned subclasses. I find that kind of odd, considering it seems that's where all the prestige classes have actually gone. Blackguard? Oathbreaker paladin. Shadowdancer? Way of Shadow Monk. Eldritch Knight? Fighter subclass. Assassin? Arcane Trickster? Rogue subclasses of same names. Dragon disciple? Pretty much the dragon sorcerer subclass. Same with hellfire-to-fiend warlock. Mystic Theurge can work as a cleric or wizard subclass - personally, I'd go with cleric, since the whole Magic domain is a thing with gods like Mystra. Loremaster can be a wizard subclass. Arcane Archer could work as an Eldrtich Knight with different level abilities, but same spell progression (truthfully, the level abilities of the E.K just disappoint me!) And that's all the big ones I can think of. I mean, it makes sense when you think about it, too. Subclasses are specialization options on the main class. Prestige classes were made as a customization method of specialization. They both fit the same design space, when you get right down to it. Or, at least, that's my opinion. [/QUOTE]
