Message: <blockquote data-quote="Derulbaskul" data-source="post: 162510" data-attributes="member: 1581">I admit that I am profoundly disappointed with the execution of the prestige class concept in the overwhelming majority of products.IMO, in most cases, a prestige class seems to be a waste of space (at best): the designers would have better off specifying a feat chain for an existing class or multiclass combination. The cavalier is a good example, as is the foe hunter: the former is simply a mounted combat-focussed fighter, maybe with a few Aristocrat levels thrown in, the latter is a ranger/rogue multiclass with a few specific feats.I like the majority of the FR prestige classes because they actually seem to fit into the campaign setting for which they were written.STRICTLY IMO!!!Anyway, my votes for the worst WotC prestige classes from the class books are:- DotF: all PrCs are seemingly beyond redemption.- MotW: except for the silly names (Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle), most of these actually have some utility. Then again, let's toss out Watch Detective as a bit of a shocker and I'm sure that I could find a few more.- S&F: all except duelist (then again, this book should never have been printed).- S&S: all except Fang of Lolth which, while of limited utility, is at least an example of something that can't be achieved using the a combination of multiclassing and feat chains.- T&B: wow, this book actually has some value!  Then again, Dragon Disciple (if only it were workable...), Elemental Savant (vain attempt at an elementalist), Fatespinner, Pale Master, True Necromancer and the, "Why wasn't this simply a feat?", Wayfarer Guide.CheersNPP</blockquote>
