[QUOTE="Majere, post: 1648844, member: 13916"] To adress the first post, the reason you hear more about PrCs are two fold: 1) There are 10 core classess, there are hundreds of PrCs. On top of this everytime a new PrC comes out it is usually heavily debated. 2) Alot of PrCs are broken And thushabitually return in rules arguements/ areas threads/ this is broken threads. To add a personal note: "If Joe Gamer wants Tharack the Fighter to be a proud and noble knight later, he can earn the title in-game, and have nothing special happen, or he can write down on the "Class" line "Crown Knight of the Kingdom"" This means Joe gamer needs to learn a bit more about roleplaying. If he wants to be a proud and noble night play a paladin. Agree with your DM before the campeign that you want to be more knightly and less holy warrior. Maybe play a paladin with no god (Similar to a cleric of no specific deity). Take the mounted combat feats, roleplay the character yourself. Dont sit about whinging you cant do it unless someone writes a PrC for you, I was playing ninjas long before anyone wrote a PrC. I took straight rogue levels, and just roleplayed it. Wearing pyjamas, using shurikens and ryukens (short swords), and oriental look to him. Alot of PrCs are thought up by powergamers in their wet dreams. There are some good PrCs. I thin the ones in the DMG are some of the better options which do actually add abilities not found in classes, but they are optional. Players should not turn up to a new game and expect to be allowed into PrCs unless the DM gives permission. Just my 2c Majere [/QUOTE]
