punkorange said:I like this Idea, I also don't like the idea there are 10001 prestigue classes available that most players feel they have the right to take levels in them just because they meet the prereqs.
This is as much or more the fault of the DMs as it is the publishers. Prestige classes as written are primarily flavor elements. If they increase or decrease a character's power level, that's incidental. Besides, taking the advice of the DMG we'd all be writing our own PrCs for our games anyway, cherrypicking ideas we liked and rejecting the ones we don't.
There are far too many DMs who are too lazy to create good content but too picky to allow somebody else's into their game. They're the ones who demand WotC do all the work for them and then complain how it was done.
