Often times the powers of a prestige class are just a rehash of other core class abillities and do not really bring out the flavor text.Again I wonder how many DMs have had a Druid want to take a PrC? How many monk players have looked at a PrC and determined that it was worth it, not only in terms of mechanics but in terms of charecterization and focus?As for 5 vs 10 level prestige classes, I definetly dont believe in blank lines, Bear Warrior in Complete Warrior should be a 5 level PrC, when it is 10 level PrC. Bear Warrior is a compeling concept poorly executed.Then I look at the Dark Hunter PrC which has a very loose and poorly designed flavor, and seems to exsist soley to give a Ranger or Roguethe abillity to have a Death Attack w/o being evil.  Of course it is a 5 level PrC, and I wonder if a more focused concept over 10 levels might not inspire people to take it.</blockquote>
