Message: <blockquote data-quote="BluWolf" data-source="post: 374092" data-attributes="member: 627">Most of the prestige classes I have seen are OK. Some are good ideas with 80% of the work done on the mechanics. Others, I think are just stupid. I will admit MY idea of stupid is not some one else's.I will agree with Grog, that most of the Prc out there have some pretty lax requirements. But I think this from an attempt to write something that is setting agnostic (or neutral) so as to appeal to most DMs. I think a lot of Prc classes are lacking a serious SPECIAL requiement that is most often a roleplaying or campaign specific issue. Those are hard to publish in a mass market supplement because the more specific you get the more narrow the appeal or applicability.ALL Prc I have approved for my campaign have had some sort of roleplaying requirement in order to be taken. I just think it makes sense.That being said, in my old group we only had 3 Prc ever taken between 3 campaigns and 2 DMs. Crusader, Alienist and Assassin.As far as least favorite Prc? I would say any and every Prc class that grants random unsubtantiated spell casting for now damn reason!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean come on, while the hell does the Assassin need spell casting??? Because the creator saw a lazy way to make an Assassin?? I don't think there is anything MECHANICALLY wrong with the Assassin. Just conceptually.I rewrote it. 90% of the Assassins in my world don't have a Prc class but those that do use one that is not a spell casting based class. You can take the Prc out of the PHB but it has many roleplaying reqs as well as the requirement that you be a spellcaster in the first place.</blockquote>
