[QUOTE="Dark Dragon, post: 614342, member: 1115"] Yep. Unfortunately, not all PrCs are treated the same way if one or more requirements aren't met anymore. Arcane PrCs seem to be somewhat difficult to handle on that matter. Two examples (both from FRCS): 1) Red Wizard. Requires non-good alignment, gains some special abilities (tatoos and so on...) and spell casting level +1 for each Red Wizard level. What would happen if the wizard becomes good after gaining some Red Wizard levels? Does he fall back in his spell casting power to a pre-PrC level? What about his (arcane) special abilities? Nothing is written here about an alignment change and its results. 2) Harper Scout. Requires good alignment, IIRC. He gains arcane spells (from a small spell list) and some divine powers. Should the alignment change to evil, he loses all divine powers, but retains the arcane ones (see FRCS). He can't progress as a Harper Scout unless the requirements are met again. Clear ruling, why not for all PrCs?. *sigh* As the assassin learns spells like a wizard and none of these spells has an [evil] descriptor AFAIK, they shouldn't be related to some special alignment. I would agree that a non-evil assassin who wants to stay non-evil can't use his death attack to kill someone and shouldn't use poison. Losing his save bonus to poisons seems to be ok, too (become more resistant to poison is more supernatural or comes from a divine source, IMHO). [/QUOTE]
