A lot of others read like "Class X with a bit more class feature Y". Still others exist purely to fix the multi-class spellcaster bug.But my major problem is that a lot of the PrCs are just bland. In particular, this afflicts most of the classes in the "Complete..." books. (Although, the new PrC format in the newer books goes a long way to fixing that.) The PrCs in Eberron are considerably better, as are many of the PrCs in the Forgotten Realms books. But the best implementation of PrCs I've seen from WotC comes from the Star Wars RPG (with the exception of the Jedi PrCs).In fact, I'm almost convinced that PrCs have no business existing outside of a campaign setting (though that would seem to place an unreasonable burden on homebrew DMs).I would prefer to see PrC prerequisites be made a bit more flexible, to allow more paths into the classes in most cases. This is similar to some of the feats which have prerequisites such as "Elf or Int 17". Alternatively, reduce the number of feats required, skills required, or BAB/spellcasting required but, as you said, add a "Minimum Character Level 7" entry.</blockquote>
