Message: <blockquote data-quote="DonAdam" data-source="post: 831331" data-attributes="member: 2446">For arcane casters, My favorite is the Mirror Master from BOEM I; I also like the Eldritch Master, and the Mystic (from the very first 3e issue of Dragon). I dislike anything that gives +1 caster level throughout.I haven't seen any really good cleric or bard prestige classes.For druids, I like those that focus on different aspects of the class: the animal lord (for wildshaping into a particular creature), the king/queen of the wild (for a terrain), the tamer of beasts (for animal companions) and the verdant lord. The shifter is horrendously broken (a thief and I almost beat the tomb of horrors ourselves and totally outshined the rest of the party when I played a shifter).For barbarians, I like the frenzied berserker.For monks (my favorite class), I dig all of the PrC's out of OA, and several out of The Quintessential Monk.For rogues, I've only seen a couple good classes, notably the Shadowdancer and the Guild Leader from Traps and Treachery. The Spymaster from Song and Silence is overpowered, but, when toned down, cover identities are a tremendous roleplaying opportunity.I'm not a big fan of fighter prestige classes, because most of them kick in at level 7-9, right when the fighter really hits a diminishing marginal return on future feats, so I look at most of them as no-brainers. That's a problem with the fighter class, though, not the PrC's, as the same incentive to multiclass out exists with only core classes. Paladins have the same problem.I like legendary classes in general (oddly enough, I find them far more balanced than most prestige classes despite the munchkiny sounding name).</blockquote>
