In fact, multiple PrCs can hinder just as much as help in terms of munching out a character. If (to take a D&D example) you have levels in elemental savant, duelist _and_ deepwood sniper, you're probably not as strong a character as if you'd just stuck to one of those, or didn't bother with PrCs at all.If you _do_ want to munch out a character, the way to do it is to take multiple PrCs _whose themes overlap_. Thus, for example, you might take deepwood sniper, order of the bow initiate and peerless archer and get someone with ranged Power Attack, sneak attacks, _and_ super crits. However, when you start talking about overlapping PrCs, you also move away from the scenario originally mentioned (Jedi ace, pilot and scholar), and so the solution proposed becomes moot. In in-game terms, it might actually make some sense for someone to have levels as OotBI, PA and DWS, but there's no way I'm allowing it in my game for the reason you mention.</blockquote>
