Were PrC's done all wrong?

[QUOTE="kreynolds, post: 244047, member: 2829"] [b]Re: Re: PrCs[/b] It's not a big deal though. The spellpool balances that out. To cast a spell you have to spend a spell. What's the big deal? If you, the DM, allow your player to spend 5 days or 5 years dumping spells into the pool before he goes adventuring, it's your own fault, leaving you little room, if any at all, to complain. He shouldn't be hanging out that long. He's an adventurer after all. Will saves? Not a big deal. If you need to justify it just look at as the result of a very focused mind, which is required to pull off the impressive ranged abilities that the PrC grants. I don't have a problem with the saves. They don't have that much of an impact. That is a pretty potent ability. If anything, it would be the backbreaker of the PrC, but I don't think it is. One free attack per round? It doesn't happen very often. If your NPCs and Monsters are provoking 12 AoO's per round, you need to work on your strategy. The Order of the Bow Initiate is a balance between the Rogue and Fighter, but specialized with ranged attacks. It has the BAB progression of the fighter, but no feats. That's a big nasty hit right there. The lack of feats and the granted abilities to ranged weapons isn't that big of a deal for me. It isn't the Superman PrC, after all. It's workable as is. Yeah. The Arcane Archer or the Deepwood Sniper. Here, I gotta agree with you. I think +1 spellcasting level every other level would have been more appropriate. Not really. Take a look ath the Archmage. In order to make use of their best PrC abilities, you have to permanently burn spell slots. So, it isn't a tipoff in every case at all. It's unique to each PrC. [/QUOTE]
