[QUOTE="bret, post: 1113361, member: 713"] Ever heard of something called a Grad Slave? Apprenticeship as a wizard is likely to be far worse than serving as a gentleman's gentleman. I am thinking of the people like Jeeves, Alfred, Normal, or the guy that served Phillious Fogg (80 days around the earth). If by serving someone else you get access to better facilities (libraries, social contacts, etc), I can see someone doing this. The other (more evil) version is someone who wants to manipulate things from the shadows. Use their employer as a figurehead, but manipulate things to their own advantage. I have intentionally allowed any alignment precisely because of this. I am sure that an evil spellcaster could find some use for the information gathering and varient of Hide in Plain sight that this class gives. I just checked, Adept can't qualify for the PrC as written. I had initially ignored them because they are divine casters. Looking over their spelllist, they can't make the prerequisites. They are missing most of the spells required and do not get domains as far as I can tell. Specifically, they are missing: Mage Hand, Prestigitation, Unseen Servant, and Detect Thoughts. The only prerequisite spell they do have is mending! The prerequisite spells are also the biggest cost for a Sorcerer or Bard. They are using up Spells Known to enter the class. About half their cantrips and one spell at each of first and second level. Not a horrible cost, but definately a cost. Now if they had an NPC class that cast spells as a wizard or sorcerer, I could see that qualifying. At least in the 3.0 SRD, there isn't one. [/QUOTE]
