[QUOTE="Nonlethal Force, post: 3105531, member: 35788"] I have to disagree with this part. No, you don't need a PrC to feel unique ... but that's no reason to not allow them. Prestige classes can do more than make you an uber character. They give unique abilities that the CORE rules don't speak about. They can be used appropriately to obtain a unique vision for your character. I don't like DMing for people who "must have PrC or this characters sucks." Why? Because a wizard 20 is a pretty darn powerful character, a fighter 20 is a sight to fear on the battlefield, a cleric 20 can do just about anything it has 15 minutes of notice about, and a rogue 20 can do just about any skill it feels necessary to learn. Core classes can get you there. But PrCs can be another tool to help envision the character. I'll agree with this part. Keeping up with all the new rules can be daunting. Keeping up with all the class abilities can be daunting, too. I can respect someone who says to their players up front, "I'll DM, but I need limits on what I can keep track of." But that's also no reason to judge someone else who allows them. [Not saying Cor Azer is judging. That last statement is general, not personal, please!] [/QUOTE]
