Here are a few I loathe and why I loathe them.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Assassin--this is a profession, not a class. But hey, let's throw spells on it, because that makes total sense thematically for the sneaky guy who kills people!</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Devoted Defender--let's create a PrC whose shtick is taking hits for his buddies, which any character should be able to attempt.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Dungeon Delver--a class that's really good at finding treasure and disarming traps? It's called the rogue, genius. Let's throw magic on this one too, just because spells are the quick fix to everything in 3E!</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Forsaker--I hate magic! That's why I carry around bags of potions to destroy so I can keep my class features!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /> </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Frenzied Berserkzer--got an enchanter in your group to control this monstrosity? No? Then let it go.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Heirophant--what cleric or druid in his right mind is going to give up spell levelsfor a couple of tricks? Why would a heirophant be less powerful than a cleric or druid of equal level? Who designed this POS?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Red Wizard of Thay--what rocket scientist thought this was a good idea? "I cast fireball! Make a DC 24 Reflex save!"</li> </ul>I'll think of more, I'm sure. What PrCs do you loathe, and why? WotC only please, we all know that there are thousands of stinkers out there from other companies.</blockquote>
