Change Spell Power (and similar effects) to only add to caster level. Make spell-like abilities function like their 3.5 counterparts, etc.Additionally, many prestige classes are not broken at all until combined with other classes. For instance, the Weapon Master can be quite a nice character to play. However, combine him with the Crab Samurai PrC from OA and some other class or spell that ups threat ranges and suddenly you've got a guy that crits on 6+.The new Mystic Theurge is another example of this that has recently come under the banner of a possible broken class. Although it may not be broken on its own (I don't think it is), if you add it to another future release class that also allows dual spell progression, it probably will become broken.For my money, given the recent change to Spell Power, I don't know that there truly are any broken classes out right now. <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Runecaster, because of the ability to freely maximise runes, might be.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Deepwood sniper, because of the x5 crit multiplier might be</li> </ul>Also, under the 3.5 conversion, the Divine Oracle from DotF is almost definitely broken, since it now has no prerequisites and could be entered at 1st level. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
