[QUOTE="RigaMortus, post: 817264, member: 1077"] Actually, my idea of fun isn't JUST making the character. Primarily it's the story. If the DM is a good story teller, it doesn't matter what kind of character I make. You know what the best part of designing a character from level 1 to level 20 is? The freedom of choice that the PLAYER has to abandon that idea if he sees fit. Just because I design a specific path for my character doesn't mean I have to stick with it. The game influences that. So let me ask you this... Let's say I design a character who will eventually be a Duelist. I mark down ahead of time the character progression I plan on taking. I start at level 1 in game and as I advance, I take all the prerequisite feats/skills/etc. that is needed for the Duelist PrC. You, the DM, introduces a new Organization into the campaign. To join the Organization, you need to take on one of the DM-created PrCs that is available ONLY to this Organization. I think this is a great idea, and even though I planned on being a Duelist (taking all the feats/skills/etc. for it, up until this point) I would like to join this Organization instead. Now, since you put all this time and effort in creating this Organization and the PrCs, are you going to screw me over by making a PrC that I don't qualify for? If so, then what is the point of introducing it and giving the player's this "illusion" of this option to begin with? Would it be any different if I didn't "plan" my character and took different feats/skills/etc? The result would be the same. Either you design a PrC which I qualify for, or you don't. Regardless if I "preplanned" my characters progression from 1 - 20 or not. Well said. [/QUOTE]
