[QUOTE="Valesin, post: 3261207, member: 24386"] I think it is interesting that the gaming community seems to have turned on PrCs. At first they were the coolest thing about 3.x, with only feats giving them any competition. The whole point was that some things were so nuanced, or specialized, or such a hybrid of two existing ideas, that a PrC was the best way to achieve it. And I for one agreed. Now, everyone wants a base class for everything. An archer that ISN'T a fighter? A specialized unarmed combatant ('cause that can't possibly be done with monk and/or fighter)? Ever more specialized casters? Combos of classes that already exist? The WotC website has a listing of all the PrCs: there are currently 745 (granted, a couple are duplicates). Apparently you guys will not be happy until there are over 700 base classes too. Every suggestion made here--every one--is possible under the rules as they currently stand. The only difference is that you have to work toward them. I wouldn't mind seeing new base classes. Emphasis on NEW. Stuff like we saw in Incarnum, or Tome of Magic, or even the Warlock. New. Different. Stuff I couldn't have asked for because I had never thought of them until my first read through. From the responses I have read, you guys just want to see more slight variations on the same tired ideas that are 30 years old. Bleah. [/QUOTE]
