[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 3349771, member: 2525"] I think my definition of broken is different than some other people's. Powerful /= broken. Overpowered relative to other prestige classes /= broken. More powerful than a core class /= broken. Broken to me means breaks your game. It means people don't have fun using that thing. Almost none of these seem inherently broken. Some seem broken in particular tricky use or combination. But most mentioned just seem slightly more powerful than the core class they are based on. That isn't broken in my opinion. As Thanee said, I don't think a prestige class that gives more than it takes is by definition broken. For example, Shadowcraft Mage is not broken in normal use. However, when combined with so many feats, including some from Dragon Magazine, that a failed save on one of their shadow spells does MORE than 100% damage, then it breaks because the game will be unfun at that point. But the prestige class itself doesn't break on it's own that way, just with a combo. [/QUOTE]
