Prestige classes in 3e were built around flexibility, with the narrative informing the mechanics. Anyone could become an Assassin or Duelist, if you were sneaky (and evil), or a good enough fighter. How do you measure such things, though? Through skill ranks, and feats - things that anyone could take - and base combat bonuses that every class got over time. That some people looked at this system and immediately reduced it to "must get into this class as quickly as possible" is just a failure of the system to account for certain human motivations.</blockquote>
