[QUOTE="Ganelon, post: 240769, member: 5587"] As a GM, I conceptually like PrCs. Do them "properly" and tie them into Guilds or factions for your campaign and they're nice flavour. I'm not sure I could use any of the pre-published PrCs though. The fact that PrCs provide focus is okay, but as a player, the problem is that they require focus to the exclusion of flavour from level 1. If I know the campaign is likely to run to the point where characters reach level 10, say, then if I want to take a PrC to higher than level 1, I'm normally going to have to dedicate all my feats and many of my skill points to meeting the PrC reqs. Yes, Prestige Calsses are focussed, but I don't want my Master of the Secret Arts to be identical (skill and feat wise) to every other Master of the Secret Arts. I want to feel that my character is unique -- spend a feat on a Skill Focus that makes sense in my background but is not relevant to my PrC. But I can't do that without playing in a generally higher level campaign. [/QUOTE]
