[QUOTE="1of3, post: 6313329, member: 48555"] The problem is: Those are only words, not design. The standard method of game design is making people do what you want them to, by making them "win" in the process. If you want people to make their own prestige classes, offer a procedure to do so. Not finished results, except for an example or two. On the other hand, by rolling out lots of prestige classes that offer bonuses, you make people "win" by using and perusing them. That got even worse because players were not able to find a common system by reading the official PrCs, because there was none. Therefore there was no way to reverse engineer them. Therefore in the minds of the community those official PrCs did not became examples, but artifacts that you would better not mess with. It's much easier with DDN subclasses. I can write you new subclasses, no problem. [/QUOTE]
