[QUOTE="BiggusGeekus, post: 74606, member: 1014"] The requirements for prestige classes are almost always negligable. They require skill points which the player hadn't really allocated anyway or feats that the player wanted in the first place. The generic ones given in the "builder books" (e.g. [i]Sword and Fist[/i]) are a little generic for my taste. I think PrCs -- as mentioned above -- should enhance an existing world not be a square peg the GM should try to fit in. The Purple Dragon Knight from the FRCS is an excellent example of what I look for in a PrC(*) It gives the player something to strive for, it gives the player a few neat abilities, and it has context and structure within the world. Other PrCs, like the Drunken Master, make me want to say "huh?" The Drunken Master is an overpowered monk class that just sort of ambles into a campaign. Who are these guys? I've heard of the martial arts style, but would my monks develop that? The PrC raises more questions and doesn't really solve any problems. IMHO, of course.
