[QUOTE="Buttercup, post: 1122018, member: 990"] I don't bother with prestige classes for NPCs. Then again, I have yet to have a player ask for a prestige class. I guess they agree with me (though we've never discussed it) that Prestige Classes just aren't necessary. You can do just about anything you want with the base classes. I don't think it's necessary to have rules for everything. YMMV, of course. I agree 100%. I just don't think prestige classes for NPCs are necessary to to achieve that. One of my players was playing in two games, and became so busy that she had to drop out of one. She told me that the choice was easy, because my game gave her "much more visceral thrills" than the other game. It was one of the finest complements I can imagine receiving from a player, but that's not why I brought it up. I mention it merely to back up my argument that prestige classes are not the only way to earn your Rat Bastard DM badge. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go and polish that badge.:D [/QUOTE]
