Message: <blockquote data-quote="bret" data-source="post: 448154" data-attributes="member: 713">I don't know of any GMs that prevent taking of multiple PrCs. If you intend to eventually go Epic, then such a rule could be a major drawback since the Epic rules have some PrCs that you can't even qualify for until you reach Epic levels.I think that PrCs could be used to fill several different objectives.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Make a weak concept more acceptable. Examples of this would include the lasher (make whips something more than a joke) and the Arcane Trickster (multiclassing hurts spell casting ability too much if you try to keep the levels even).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Provide a special benefit to a group that exists in the GMs world. Examples of this are the Harpers from Forgotten Realms and the Wayfarer's Union from T&B. There are other examples.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Get people to buy a splat book for the munchkin appeal of the new PrCs. There are a lot of people that talk about the 'crunchy bits' of a book, they generally mean the new feats and PrCs that provide new powers.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Give a certain race a unique set of abilities. The Dwarven Defender, Arcane Archer, and Spelldancer are examples of this.</li> </ul>The problem is telling when something is just bumping up the power on something that would otherwise be too weak a choice from something that gives too much benefit to those who take a certain PrC.It should also be noted that many PrCs are actually easier to get into than they first appear of someone is using Forgotten Realms. You have the Educated and Cosmopolitan feats that can turn that cross-class skill into a class skill. Very nice for the Sorcerer who wants to go Elemental Savant.</blockquote>
