[QUOTE="Storm Raven, post: 2305487, member: 307"] Because in extremely limited circumstances you can do what they can do too? [i][/i] And that would be just as true if you were a single classed rogue instead of a rogue/assassin. [i][/i] I believe someone hasn't really compared his options. An assassin has about the same number of options as a single classed rogue. Different options to be sure, but anout the same array, and at about the same power level. [i][/i] Except they aren't "better 95% of the time". In the case you are arguing [i]right now[/i] the assassin's abilities compare relatively similarly to a single classed rogue with total class levels equal to an assassin of the same total class levels. [i][/i] Some prestige classes give more than they take. We aren't talking about those PrCs right now, We are talking about the DMG PrCs, which don't, when you actaully look at what you'd give up to get those nifty PrC powers. And taking mutiple PrCs usually doesn't end up with any more overall power than just taking one, or none. You clearly haven't paid attention to the actual rules as written in the core books, or you'd have noticed this. [/QUOTE]
