Something with lower HD and more auras is less a PrC than just a modified version of the Marshall. Generally, PrCs are not designed with only one base class being able to enter them. Many (though certainly not all) combat-heavy PrCs, for example, can be entered even by a Wizard eventually. A better example, though, is that Barbarians, Paladins, and Rangers can also qualify for "Fighter" PrCs, or that some Wizards can qualify for "Cleric" PrCs. A PrC that would be ideal for a Marshall, but which would still be a "good" PrC design, would not just add more auras, but would instead have the aura ability and would stack its levels with other classes that did the same -- much the way spellcasting classes do, or classes the grant Uncanny Dodge and Improved Uncanny Dodge. In that case, it might increase the aura bonuses faster than the Marshall base class -- which would be good for non-Marshalls who entered the class as well as Marshalls. Rather than simply letting the Marshall have "more auras" active, a good PrC would (IMHO) allow a specific aura to be active in addition to the one the Marshall chooses. For example, a "Master Tactician" PrC might allow one aura that boosts flanking bonuses to remain active constantly in addition to any other auras. Hope that helps.</blockquote>
