A player should not know what organizations they will be affiliated with and therefor what PrCs will be available to them. Don't get me wrong if a player comes to me and says hey I really like X PrC I'll do what I can to work the training into the storyline but they shouldn't have their entire path planned. Maybe they won't get PrC x but something close. Another thing about character paths is that many times it breaks with character development. Spending feats and skills ahead of time to qualify for a PrC what if that character's life leads them in a different direction. I mean I learned to play three instruments and wanted to be a professional musician but due to get disenchanted with the music business I am now a programmer. Why can't the same thing happen to characters? This is actually how I'm going to handle class paths from now on. Someone plots everything out so they qualify for PrC x at Level y. I'm going to make something about the affiliations the character needs in order to get that PrC be very disenchanting.In 2e I wanted a kit so that my thief could do two weapon fighting. The DM granted it to me, after my character spent a year training for the stuff. A year for a kit and people want PrCs for free????</blockquote>
