Message: <blockquote data-quote="Pielorinho" data-source="post: 477857" data-attributes="member: 259">As near as I can tell, sorcerers are foolish not to take a PrC when offered:  about all they'll lose is new familiar abilities, which is neither woo nor hoo.Wizards are almost as foolish:  the extra few feats aren't really a whole lot, and are usually outweighed by PrC benefits.Clerics usually lose turning abilities and domain powers:  this is more of a tradeoff.Bards lose bardic knowledge -- not such a big deal.  Generally they should take a PrC.Druids lose special abilities.  Big tradeoff, not to be taken lightly.All of the above, however, should think very carefully before taking another core class:  loss of spell levels is a big, big deal.Fighters, barbarians, rangers, and paladins can safely MC among the classes in this group:  most classes are somewhat front-loaded, and the benefits are fairly equal for going up a level in any of them, and all apply to kicking butt.Often, a level or three of rogue or monk is a good idea for a melee person, to get evasion and sneak attack damage (or wis bonus and unarmed strike and evasion).  In exchange, you give up a point of BAB, an important tradeoff.In my games, spellcasters tend to be single-classed, or have one or two levels of another class at most, unless they qualify for a PrC; if they do qualify, they tend to pour all future levels into the PrC.Nonspellcasters MC much more freely, often having relatively equal levels in several classes.Daniel</blockquote>
