Message: <blockquote data-quote="TiQuinn" data-source="post: 374487" data-attributes="member: 4871">I like the Shadowdancer, despite the fact that the DMG doesn't really give us a great idea of what their role in a campaign is, per se.  However, the powers of the PrC almost create the concept by themselves, and now Shadowdancers in my campaign are the epitome of the spy organization.  Hide in Plain Sight still bothers me, however.  I just can't imagine the ability to suddenly disappear even though someone is actively watching you without resorting to an illusion or invisibility.  I can envision Shadowdancers using a momentary distraction to use the ability, but I can't justify someone disappearing before a PC's very eyes.A PrC that I dislike is the Dragon Disciple.  I just didn't see the purpose for the class.  I think it's mainly because we already have Half-Dragons, Dragonkin, and sorcerers (who may or may not have dragon blood), and adding a PrC to this mix takes away from the originality and mystery of the others.  More of a personal nitpick than anything else, really.I'm also not fond of prestige classes that grant an extra spellcasting level each level.  I think that the combination of the special abilities granted plus the spell level makes this choice a no-brainer for players.  I think that a PrC should force the players to make a choice: either gain these cool abilities as per the PrC, or take a level of wizard or rogue and gain the abilities for those.</blockquote>
