The prestige classes in the FRCS pretty much prove that. <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=":)" /> Doesn't matter if you are having fun, though.AS to the power of Spellfire:The feat is incredibly powered, but the prestige class ends up quite weak compared to the other characters.Not to mention the statement "all you need is a wizard in the group to pump you up".....well that works when all you have is the feat and it doesn't hurt to have a 1-2 shot burst of extra power. As a class, you will have a VERY hard time convincing other PC's to just walk around and constanly fill you up. Won't happen. Why would a wizard spend a 3rd level spell slot to memorize a spell that will give you 3 levels of spellfire (3D6 damage to one target), instead of just memorizing a fire ball that does 5-10 d6 damage to a handful of enemies?? He wouldn't. He didn't in my campaign. Even with levels of the prestige class, the character quickly ended up much weaker than the other classes. The ability to fire off a couple big blasts isn't a big deal when the wizard can already do it. In Short...the Feat is way powerful and hard to swallow. The prestige class is just the opposite, warn your player before she takes levels in it, it could turn out to be a big disappointment, mostly if she is expecting to kick a lot of butt. Not to mention the ability (though a touch attack) ends up using her poor base attack, which if it hits, still allows a saving throw to avoid half damage. Some ability , like the levels for healing is nice, but quite patheic compared to a cleric. The character becomes a utility character that can help out in some situations, deal a couple big punches or heal some wounds, then runs and hides.</blockquote>
