i have always thought that prestige classes didn't follow the rules of multiclassing, that you could take them, as many as you qualified for, with no penalty. Reading through Defenders of the Faith today, it says in the beginning of the prestige class chapter, that the prestige classes follow the standard rules of multiclassing? I have been reading through Sage Advice in my Dragon Magazine, where I'm pretty sure it said that they didn't follow normal multiclassing rules, but to no help.
What is the deal with prestige classes, and where does it say so?
