D&D 3E/3.5 Prestige Reqs from 3rd to 3.5

[Grendel303]

This is sort of a general question. Obviously since 3.5 has only just been released and nothing has really been covered in the Splat books, how do you re-adjust the Requirements for Prestige Classes??? Example (Yes another FR Prestige since that's mainly what we run);

The Windwalker
Skills: Hide 5 ranks, Intuit Direction 5 ranks, Move Silently 5 ranks, Wilderness Lore 3 ranks.

So obviously since there is no more Intuit Direction and Wilderness Lore (Survival now) should it just be adjudicated as;

Skills: Hide 5 ranks, Move Silently 5 ranks, Survival 3 ranks

Anyone know if anyone has mentioned anything about this??? As much as I realize that there was no time, I wish they could have at least done some sort of dowloadable update (like they did for some of the core books) for the Realms since there is alot of material that could need to be reworked.

Because of the way synergy bonuses are described, I would change it to Hide 5+ ranks, Knowledge: Geography 5+ ranks, Move Silently 5+ ranks, Survival 3+ ranks.

I would also consider adding the Knowledge: Geography skill to the ranger class list.

I'd go with at least 5 ranks in Survival, and probably add another 3 rank prereq. Windwalker is a powerful PrC, so it doesn't need even lower prereqs. Windwalker is geared towards Rangers and Clerics, so the new prereq should be a Ranger skill as well. Knowledge: Geography is a good suggestion.

(And besides, the prereqs are already cheaper assuming you take Ranger levels, because Rangers get more skill points.)

I would also consider adding the Knowledge: Geography skill to the ranger class list.

In 3.5, Rangers have Knowledge: Nature, Dungeoneering, and Geography.

I'd definitely go with 5 ranks of Survival, since that's what you need for the Intuit Direction effect of the skill.
