You are leveling the main aspects of 2 classes at once (3e Mystic Thuerge)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">An upgrading feat. You more or less get 1 or 2 featlike features that scale or you scale removal of the restrictions of a feat like feature. A feat chains in a class system  (3e Thaumaturgist)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">A sack of feats. You are swapping class features for feats. (3e Hierophant)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">A subclass. You are doing a twist on a class (3e Arcane Archer)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">A variant class. You are doing a twist of the class. (3e Assassin)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">A sneak variant class. You are doing a twist of the class that doesnt stack with the class well. (3e Blackguard)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">A whole class. You are basically playing a class that didnt have its first 5 levels designed (3e Dragon Disciple)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">A whole class with a core feature too strong for level 1. You are basically playing a class that can't have its first 5 levels designed (3e Shadowdancer)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">A whole class with the same start as another. You are basically playing a class that first 5 levels are the same as multiple others (3e Duelist)</li> </ol>Of those, 5e has no need for Prcs of #1-6. 7 is straight up a new class. So PRCs we could only be good for 8 or 9. Like Shadowdancer as rogues, rangers, and bards play Very differently.</blockquote>
