[QUOTE="irdeggman, post: 3048468, member: 16285"] Another thing I would recommend is using the fractional BAB and saving throw bonuses from Unearthed Arcana (pg 73). While these will in the long run allow higher bonuses they will help alleviate the "sudden" increase gained by taking a single level of a class and provide a smoother progression IMO. I see 2 issues here. 1. Potential questions on the imbalance of Prestige Classes. {Which IMO leads to the most obvious abusing of the system since they are more powerful than core clases and have a built allowance that they don't count towards any multiclassing xp restirctions.} 2. Questions concerning what can happen when power building via multiclassing. For examle taking levels to gain the "best" features of a class. I would focus on the latter and not try to bring into the discussion the import of classes that are considered to be above the power level of core classes by design. That is Prestige Classes. Trying to fix the effect of them on the system will only lead to extreme frustration because IMO the only way to do that is to either eliminate them all or to pare them down to the point where most would not consider them prestigious at all.
