[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 3314154, member: 7635"] Cracks knuckles... Hexblade: A fighter/sorcerer hybrid class that focuses on casting in light armor and using various curse-spells and effects. Samurai: A fighter PrC which focuses on intimidate and TWF in heavy armor. Favored Soul*: A Contemplative-like PrC where you take on more celestial/fiendish aspects. Spirit Shaman: A druid PrC focusing on spirit and spirit abilities. Healer: A divine-PrC where you sacrifice potent combat ability to be the best at healing. Warmage: A sorcerer PrC for those about to nuke. Dread Necromancer: As Warmage, swap to necromancy. Beguiler: As Warmage, swap to enchantments Spellthief: A rogue PrC for those who like to steal spells. Ninja: A rogue/monk Hybrid PrC Duskblade: See Eldrich Knight, Spellsword, etc. Swashbuckler: See Duelist. That leaves knight, warlock, scout, shugenja, wu jen, archivist, dragon shaman, and marshal. Add Mystic (Dragonlance) as a spontaneous divine caster (to replace favored soul) and dump the OA classes. Now you have knight, warlock, scout, archivist, dragon shaman, mystic, and marshal. With a few tweaks to each, they all bring a new mechanic to the mix (knights challenge/battlefield, invocations, skirmish, divine bookcasting, auras, divine spontaneous) so they have a reason to exist. Just my take, at least. EDIT: Ignored the Psionic Classes (though soulknife and lurk really scream PrC) and left out Artificer (since its campaign specific, and unique). [/QUOTE]
