[QUOTE="Crothian, post: 127780, member: 232"] Well, first of all they should be relatively balanced. PrC are a lot of things. They can represent different organizations and specialized training (Ninja of Crescent Moon). They can represent becoming something more (Dragon Disciple, Oozemaster). They can show specializing in one area (lasher, loremaster). They do different things. The balancing part becomes tough when you have some PrC that are very combat oriented trying to balance with PrC that are not. Normally, when people talk about balance it is limited to balance in combat, not necessarily in abilities. I find it hard to quantify the abilities to see if it's balanced. I do think PrC need to be balanced in some way. There are certain ones that are much better and actually a few that people find too weak. I will say I've yet to have a PRC disrupt my game by having the PC overshadow the others. I have yet to disallow a PrC that a player wanted. Some things look worse on paper but actually aren't that bad in actual use. I've made my own PrC with the help of many fine people over in House Rules, and I've helped many others over there. I think we have a some really good people over there that understand the balance issue. By all means, pick out certain PrC to discuss. We do that all the time in the different forums Right now there's a discussion on the Deepwood Sniper and how that class is actual weak for a Prestige Class over in House Rules. [/QUOTE]
