[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 7016777, member: 15700"] This is the million dollar question, I think. This is purely anecdotal, but the impression I got during 3e was that no one played the core classes anymore once they qualified for a prestige class. In practical application, fighters, rogues, clerics, and wizards only needed XP tables to level 10 max. Everyone and their grandma's dog had a prestige class by then. When I hear prestige class, red flags immediately go up because it sets the expectation that multi-classing is required and that leads to build optimization and system mastery requirements. I really don't see 5e doing that, as it's been very explicit that multi-classing is optional, and someone who doesn't give two whits about optimization can play alongside someone who does and both PCs will be relatively equal mechanically. So doing PrC would be a challenge for sure. [/QUOTE]
