[QUOTE="Gaiden, post: 695605, member: 103"] I did include a :). This is actually an option I would hate to see introduced into 3.5. Here is an example of where I think multiple PrC's would be ok: A Human Paladin/Sorcerer joins the Arcane Order (MotAO PrC) and as he is advancing dislikes a decision by the ruling council of the order. As he is a paladin, the more neutral tendencies of the council disagreed with him from the beginning, but the decision to (for example) deny aid to his LG church entrenched between two CE armies who are currently bombarding his church with undead and evil outsiders - because it would be politically unwise went beyond just a difference in opinion. The paladin approaches the leaders of the Order petitioning to change their opinion and they chastise him as a result. He leaves the Order. At the same time, he goes back to his church to help them in their struggle. He realizes that he can best affect this end by exorcising many of the spirits that continue to take control of the lesser preists of the faith. He then trains to become a Sacred Exorcist. ... The above example I think makes excellent sense as to why a character would transition between PrC's. (It is in fact one of the histories of an NPC of mine:)). In renouncing the Order he consequently lost all of his Spell Pool access, but that is just a storyline quirk. I don't see why one would not expand into a different PrC, if the storyline reasons were there. (Actually, this takes place on FR and I have future plans of him meeting one of the Wizards of Waterdeep and being introduced to that "Order", to regain his spell pool access - via a different PrC - although that admittedly is a houserule.
