Many people approach their lives with a specific goal in mind. For example, if I want to be a neurosurgeon, I am going to study specific things and practice specific things designed to get me there.For example, a dwarf fighter who begins play as a stalwart protector of his people and a dedicated defender of his lands is a perfect candidate for the Dwarven Defender prestige class, whether or not he has ever seen one in his life. Since many of the requirements for the Dwarven Defender are great for any defensively oriented dwarf fighter to have, there is no reason not to take them whether he chooses to take the prestige class or not.Prestige classes are a specialized expression of a specific career path. If a character already wants to pursue that path, then those requirements are going to help him get there. They are things that such a character would want to know anyway.</blockquote>
