I only claim that prestige classes work better for this purpose as a GM tool.But, keep in mind, I think of prestige classes as containing concepts and abilities that shouldn't be available to any player that wants them, in the same manner as they can't walk into town and buy an artifact.Pathfinder has a good model for this. There is a difference between a Prestige Class and an Archetype. Archetypes do a much better job of providing players with options for crafting their character than Prestige Classes ever did. This leaves Prestige Classes as a GM tool without limiting players.</blockquote>
