Message: <blockquote data-quote="Oni" data-source="post: 824745" data-attributes="member: 380">I have mixed feelings about this list.  I'm happy to see they are including so many, but the actual selection bothers me for various reasons.  Seems like about half of them are wizard related PrC's. Arcane Trickster, Eldritch Knight, Mystic Theurge.  It seems they've decided to fully pursue the bandaid approach to fixing the flaws in the multiclass system, and I am disappointed in the extreme.  The Eldritch Knight was a good PrC for 3e (though I do prefer the name Spellsword), addressing one of the systems flaws, but I would have much rather it was not in the DMG and they had just fixed the base multiclassing rules.  I'm hoping they'll have done some revision on the Archmage to reign in spellpower a little bit.  It doesn't bother me as much with a PrC like the Red Wizard where you make a bigger sacrifice for it, but a combination of the two is just unholy.   I think too much emphasis is placed on the importance of high save DC's.  The effectiveness of a wizard shouldn't be so heavily affected by a PrC.  I'm just curious to see what they did with the Dragon Disciple, hoping it's been made more sorcerer oriented and less fighter oriented. Anyway there are my random thoughts on the list.</blockquote>
