Namely, there aren't enough. For fighters, you tend to have either the "Elite fighters of organization X" (Fist of Hextor, Ravager, Knight Protector of the Great Kingdom, etc.) or the "Master a specific weapon" (Master of Chains, Lasher, Weapon Master, many archer PrCs). We don't see a lot of stylish classes like the Duelist or the Ghostwalker. Also, you don't see a lot of classes which elaborate on a fighting style over a weapon, like the Master Samurai.Rogues tend to have it the same way. Classes like the Spymaster focus the character on a specific area, but still give flexibility and style. Others focus in different areas, but sacrifice a large amount of flexibility to do so, when the Rogue's whole function is flexibility. The Rogue's main class feature is the Sneak Attack, and 5 of the 10 classes in Song & Silence have no sneak attack whatsoever, and none have the full sneak attack progression of a Rogue. It's harder to pinpoint what aspect of the quality classes (Assassin, Spymaster, Shadowdancer, and Temple Raider all qualify IMO). There are probably dozens of books out there which detail PrCs for arcane casters, and a good number which are for divine casters. Almost none focus on Fighters or Rogues, or to a lesser degree Barbarians, Rangers, and Paladins. Does anybody else notice this, or am I just being too powergamery in wanting prestige classes for my run-of-the-mill characters?</blockquote>
