[QUOTE="Patryn of Elvenshae, post: 2595603, member: 23094"] As an example, I was creating a pirate-like character from a mix of Fighter and Rogue. After I'd been playing him for several months, Complete Adventurer came out, and it included the Thief Acrobat PrC. It seemed to be a perfect match for his fighting style. Moreover, I was only a couple of skill ranks away from meeting the prereqs. Now, given that I'd been playing the character since long before I could have even known about the PrC, it's not possible that I had been "grooming" him towards it since level 1. Ergo, it cannot be a requirement. Rather, it just so happened that I found a PrC which fit where I was going with the character anyway, and would qualify to take in one or two more levels (depending on when I felt like taking it). And this, I think, is the important point. If you absolutely must take a PrC at the earliest possible moment, then, yes, you'll probably need to plan ahead. However, there's certainly no stipulation in any rulebook, anywhere, that says you must do so. Sometimes, it's even better to wait a bit. Now, on to other points: First off, let me point out that no one really has the right to be an arrogant git - especially not here. So, no, I don't think I've "earned the right." And, frankly, I [b]am,[/b] at times, an arrogant git. There's a reason why another noted poster chimes in occasionally with, "Patryn of Elvenshae's a putz." I'm sure it's meant good-naturedly, but it is far-too-often true. So, I'm working on it. I [b]am[/b] human, however. That being said, thanks for showing more maturity than I do sometimes, moritheil. :) [/QUOTE]
