Another factor of why PrCs are balanced (yet more powerful than base classes) is that they have PREREQUISITES. As in, generally, you have to give up something in order to take it. With a Base Class, you don't give up anything- well, I suppose you could be taking a different class, but that's not giving up something. But you don't see everybody taking Mystic theurge because you have to give up three levels of Spellcasting in your main class in order to even qualify for it, and the Eldritch Knight makes you lose two caster levels, and so on. You have to give up something good before you get your bonus. With a Base Class, though, what are you giving up? If the Mystic Theurge were a Base Class, unless you took away half of what it got every level, it would be a terrible move because, again, you're not giving up anything first.</p></blockquote><p></p>
