Just to see which are the least popular prestige classes around. Which are the ones you really would not like to have in your game/setting? It could be because the concept is totally appalling to you, or because the class has received a very poor design, or because it is either too weak to be working or too good to be allowed... Whatever the reason :p

A poll is coming, but of course an explanation to your vote is going to be very interesting. I'm leaving open the option of multiple votes, but I suggest to focus on 1-3 at most! Try to think, if you were really going to ban only 1 PrCl from this book, which would it be, and vote more than 1 only if you really cannot decide (anyway, if you vote all of them because you just hate PrCls, you're not really going to affect the poll much ;) ). You can also interpret the question as "which PrCl would you strip off the DMG if you could".

Personally I think that my least favourite from the DMG is... the Thaumaturgist. The reason is that while the concept was clear and in theory easy to "implement", the design is very poor: a bunch of improvements (to 3 spells) with no clear progression, not a single feature which seems striking and unique (the planar cohort might have been, but it looks weird how it's done), and bland prerequisites.

None, really, but if I had to name one, which I consider the worst, that would be the Horizon Walker.

Bye
Thanee
 




Most of the DMG PrCs work fine for me, really.

The exceptions are the dragon disciple (because I already know how half dragons work in my game, and they don't fit the model) and red wizard (because not only is it, by default, FR specific, compared to the numerous arcane PrCs out there, I find it rather dull yet non-iconic.)
