Which PrCl would you never want in your game? (part 1 - DMG)

[ThirdWizard]

It won't let me vote for none of them. :\

Not even as NPCs?

I was only thinking of PCs, but I really don't like the entire concept of anti-paladins (and a blackguard is just a renamed anti-paladin) or semi-spellcasting assassins, and don't play in FR.

Sort of. I guess if you don't like unholy warriors running around causing trouble for the good guys that's your business.

or semi-spellcasting assassins,

I like it, tied them to a particular guild, located in a specific city on the edge of a desert.

and don't play in FR.

Evil covens of wizards don't translate into your game at all? Just rename their fluff.

After experiencing the Mystic Thurge in one of my campaigns, I hope I never see one again. I find them over powered. Not to mention the half hour needed to go over thier spell list, every time a change is required.

I don't have a beef with any of this, and while overpowered, I always dug the Dragon Disciple.

(Granted, I've never DMed one, only played as one...heheh)

It's not worth it. Trust me. I ruined a perfectly good character by picking up that PrC.

They are less powerful than a single-classed wizard with the Leadership feat and a cleric cohort (or vice versa). I have never figured out what made people scared of the relatively low power of the Mystic Theurge.

I agree, the Mystic Theurge has less feats than a normal straight classed wizard and is really no worse than dual/multi classing as a cleric/wizard in 2nd edition.

Bard.

DMG!!!

Unfortunately, you didn't specify which edition DMG, and diaglo ran with it.

Nice try, no cookie. When bard appeared in a prior core book, it was the PHB.

Unholy warriors are fine, they just have a PrC approriate to the champions of $INSERT_EVIL_DEITY_HERE$. Unholy warriors that are dark mirror images of paladins, or very nearly that, are cheesy.
