Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mouseferatu" data-source="post: 2086329" data-attributes="member: 1288">I've realized something over the past year or so.All things being equal, I'd much rather see a new full class (that is, 20 levels, no prerequisites) than a new prestige class.Obviously, this doesn't work all the time. Many concepts are too specific to be 20-level classes, and of course those are best served by PrCs. But with any concept that can reasonably function as a full class, I'd prefer it to be one. For instance, I'd rather the blackguard be a full class, like the paladin. I'd rather the assassin be a full class, like the rogue. (Yes, I know they're almost the same thing. Nevertheless...) Assuming a viable concept and equal quality across the board, I prefer articles in Dragon, and new features in 3rd party products, that present full classes. I prefer writing full classes. I liked the articles back in Dragon 310-312 that presented new variants on the standard classes, but did so with all 20 levels. (Leaving aside, for a moment, the fact that I wrote one of them. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />)I'm just wondering how severely I'm in the minority on this.</blockquote>
