I created a Mystra Paladin which uses turn undead attempts as another form of "magic currency", and at sufficiently high levels, he can use it for additional spell damage, for creating a limited version of the Chosens' Silver Fire, and at the highest levels, he can sacrifice part of himself to shut off a truly dangerous caster from the weave!First of all, we both wanted him to have something to distinguish him (he was starting a new order of "Wizard/Paladins" and wanted to give him godly boons without making him an outright Chosen), and second, I wanted to have a way for him to grow into this power. So we created a mechanic that has been implemented in other sources, but not treated in depth.The prestige class is a way to create for a character to grow into a special role or ability, without just "handing it to him." The DMG states that you should work to create PrC's specific to the campaign - and I guarantee that his role could not be done with just a Wizard/Paladin - he wouldn't have the kinds of power needed for such a role.</blockquote>
