[QUOTE="Votan, post: 3339516, member: 18680"] My favorite example of this is the Mindbender; one level is so good you figure that there has to be a typographical error. Ten levels is so bad you wonder if it would ever be played. It's a great PrC for one level dips and nothing else. Your comments on the Sorcerer are well taken and the Rapid Metamagic from PhB2 pretty much buried any reason to put 20 levels into sorcerer unless you have an unusal build that uses all feats and skill po0ints and, by accident, doesn't qualify for anything else. But even a class like the Abjurant Champion is a bit strong. I see many players take Combat Casting if they start at level 1. If you are an elf, Sorcerer 10/Abjurant Champion 5 is strictly better (at every level) than Sorcerer 15. By so much that it is not funny (BAB, hit points, saves and abilities are all increased). But, you are correct. A class like the Beguiler or the Duskblade is much harder to prestige class. [/QUOTE]
