[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 2838607, member: 22779"] I'm not entirely convinced that taking a PrC "later" is a bad thing. Many of the advantages of a PrC are not base class level specific, if you follow me. Take Mystic Theuge for example. Yes, I can do MT at 7th level, and it works. However, if I do it at 8th or 10th level, it doesn't suddenly become less powerful. If I decide to go 6th cleric, 3rd wizard/1 MT, I'm not disadvantaged to the Cleric 3/Wiz 3/MT 4. Yes, I have less wizard spells, but, I have more cleric spells and better hit points and BaB and other goodies. The same is true for Eldritch Knight, for another example. Whether I do EK at 7th or at 12th, it still provides the same bonuses. I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm sure there are PrC's out there that suffer if you take them later, but, IMHO, this is the exception, not the rule. Many PRC's are not so limited that they disadvantage a character if they are not taken as soon as possible. [/QUOTE]
