[QUOTE="cofbaron, post: 609111, member: 3901"] I had a character who was aiming towards Hunter of the Dead (it's from Defenders of the Faith, I'm guessing it's a renamed version of the one you mention). One adventure, we had an encounter with a vampire spawn, and ended up getting in a fight with it. Considering my character had a combination serious hate/fear of most undead, she was throwing spells at it left and right, but wasn't rushing in to attack it hand to hand. My DM commented afterwards that she was a bit surprised/impressed that I didn't do that, but I was just being in character; her strength was in spellcasting, and thus she had no reason whatsoever to get in melee combat with it. In this instance, I had let my DM know that the character was working towards the PrC ahead of time; it fit with the background and events that had transpired during the course of the campaign. In this way it was easier for both myself and the DM; she fortunately liked the idea, and would be able to build plots and encounters, keeping in mind the eventual necessity for a level-draining undead to smack my cleric around. Meanwhile, I knew I already had the go-ahead, and would only have to be patient. Ideally, an agreement of this type can be made between DM and Player, but we all know how harsh reality can be.
