[QUOTE="ranger69, post: 6399457, member: 45468"] I think that Southpaw79 is on the right lines mechanically, and pming is on the right lines rules and fluff wise. Now we just have to combine the two. Therefore a character can enter a prestige class at say level 10, and gains a prestige class feature instead of an ability score increase. However, there has to be roleplaying reasons why that Prestige class is available to the character. It could be entry into the King's guard for saving the Kings life, which could be DM led. Or player led by wanting the features of the prestige class. However, the player would have to talk to the DM about joining up. To enter the Kings guard the character would have to apply, have suitable tests (which may be more that martial), and have interviews. Depending on the NPC's involved in running the Kings Guard money may have to change hands, either openly or behind closed doors. It may be that the character has to be seen in the correct circles of society also. If it is done right a character trying to enter a prestige class would lead to great social roleplaying experience's, rather than just combat. think of D'Artagnan trying to get into the Musketeers.
