[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 2848792, member: 2011"] I don't really see this in our game for two reasons. 1) Most players figure out at least their first PrC before the first level character sheet is complete. Not one player in our game has come up and said he wanted to change a feat, presumably because they take the time out to plan ahead of time. Granted, they would be unable to change (without the retraining rule) for a new PrC in a new book, but we are already using about 12 books that the players can choose from. 2) Most PCs acquire a lot of magical and other items/equipment as they level up. Many of these are more minor such as scrolls, potions, gems, etc. New PCs (or NPC cohorts) get the major items just like the regular PCs, but they tend to not have boatloads of the minor stuff. For example, one of the (original PC) 6th level Clerics in our game has at least 15 scrolls of various types that he has acquired throughout the levels. If a new PC Cleric was rolled up, he would not have nearly this many starting scrolls. In other words, original PCs tend to have more options due to having a larger quantity of minor items, at least in our game. Just because a choice is given does not mean that it is not a gift. Spells too are a gift. Ones to be used in accordance with the deity's wishes. Maybe a better word than gift is privilege. The Cleric has Domain privileges. They are not rights. Privilege means that they are given with the consent and authorization of the deity, not by the entitlement of the Cleric. [/QUOTE]
