[QUOTE="haiiro, post: 830218, member: 1891"] I was thinking about this the other day, and realized that my old favorite is still my favorite overall: the gatecrasher, from the Manual of the Planes. I love this class -- it's got a great concept, great artwork, interesting abilities, and it fills my head with ideas (that's the best part). With almost 3 years of d20 material to draw from, what is your favorite prestige class? (Favorite to play, favorite concept -- however you choose to define "favorite.") ----------------------- [b]Results (so far)[/b] I decided to see how many "votes" each of the prestige classes mentioned so far received. These numbers aren't weighted -- if someone mentioned six PrCs as all being favorites, I treated that as one vote for each of them.
