[QUOTE="shouit, post: 349203, member: 4031"] OK, I have run three 3rd edition campaigns, each with a different group of players, with some overlap. I have noticed a very significant trend, that the player is already picking out his PrC before he even has rolled his stats. A lot of players in the games I have run, were doing this. For example, the want to play a shadow dancer, so they build their first level character with the total purpose of getting to that PrC. What is this? I understand that each PrC have requirements and feats that are needed to go to them, but why not see where the character goes first? If you want to play a bard, play one, not a wanna be shadow dancer. Am I anti-PrC, no. But, I want the player not to have to plan 6 to 9 levels before that they want to be a certain PrC. Also note, I do understand that sometimes that is feasible to justify that, like the different sects of Paladin under Corean in the Scarred Lands, but for a character from podunk backwater to know there are things like shadow dancers out there when he has never left his home, is absurd. What do you guys think? [/QUOTE]
