[QUOTE="Sigdel, post: 2321743, member: 19261"] First off, welcome. Now on to the short answerers. 1: No. Your DM might have some, but that's up to him/her. 2: No. Wotc would not be that mean... I hope. 3: Yes. When you earned enough xp to go up a level you can choose to level up as your PrC or your base class. 3B: The rules say that there is no limit to the amount of PrC's you can pick up but your DM might have a problem with this. I heard it called "Cherry Picking." You stick with a class or PrC long enough to get want you want out of it then move on to the next. So you just end up a multiclass monster. With these types the most commonly said phrase is "Oh, I can do that." Just ask yourself this when you find a PrC, "Is what I am getting from this PrC worth what I am losing in my base class?" For every level you pick up in a PrC, you lose out in an ability from your base class. For example, I had a halfling sorcerer who picked up the Dragon Disciple PrC. I stuck with it for 18 levels (sorc 11/ DD 7). I lost out in 7 levels of spellcasting. And for a sorc, that's not good. What I got in exchange from the DD was not worth the loss is spells and magic power. Like the guy from the last crusade said "You must choose wisely." I hope this helps some. [/QUOTE]
