Perhaps Wizards will have more to give up in 3.5? (I could see them beefing up the skills a bit, and perhaps giving one or two more familiar treats, and the change in some spells will mean that certain example spells may not be the classics anymore)I said it before, and I'll say it again:Saying that the MT is overpowered because it has more spells/day is like saying that the Sorcerer is overpowered because it has more spells/day.And as for PrC's being ways to mitigate poor choices -- that's why things like the Lasher exist. However, I *do* have a problem with those types of PrC's...fundamentally, you can't have a whip-warrior without the Lasher. Just like you can't have an effective cleric/wizard without the MT. It means that it's that much more limiting...I'd have preferred it to be goverened by feats/class powers/whatever, and have spiced up the PrC a bit. It's like a void in the campaign that ONLY this PrC can fill...and I do have some problems with a PrC as a 'fix'.Now, for the flaws I see in it:* As Psion pointed out, it is a VERY dull class..you could spice it up, but they wouldn't have abilities to reflect the spice.* This is a 'fix' for a more fundamental problem, so it reeks of 'half-assedness.' A Wiz/Sorc, for instance, is still skrewed. The problem is mitigated somewhat by examples like the <a href="http://stuffetc.netfirms.com/ffgeneric.htm" target="_blank">FFd20 Magicians</a>, which allow caster levels to stack, but it remains a rather fundamental problem to the system itself -- the divide doesn't cross as easily as the attack bonus divide, because it's not a universal.* It means that NO Clr/Wiz or Clr/Sorc is as valuable as this PrC. Effectively, it's a PrC that HAS to exist, or power is lost. It's a PrC that FORCES you to use it, or suck. I am disturbed at it...they shouldn't suck without the PrC...</blockquote>
