He was able to meet all the requirements except for the knowledge (religion), which needed to be 9. However I let him take the class if he was willing to spend at least one of his 2 skill points per level on this skill and used this for a bit of between session roleplaying. While this class has some pretty significant abilities, it is at least balanced by having only a 1 per 2 spellcasting improvement. He has really made an effort to roleplay his character and this has added a lot to the campaign. Good use of a PrC.Another PC has just started down the anointed knight path. Again this was through roleplaying and the fact that the PC found part of Holy avenger sword that could be used as the key requirement. Again, this choice came from 2 years of roleplaying in my campaign, so I was happy to go for it.Two other PCs have been generated using PrCs to replace dead characters. One is a wizard/elemental fire savant whose backstory is that he is the 'son' of an efreet and he took a whole raft of feats to match his backstory in addition to the PrC. Good PC background that has already led to adventures in the City of Brass - good use of a PrC.The other one is a Champion of Gwyneth (yeah I know that's not her name) from the BoED. This one is a bit of a compromise on my part, as he seems more manufactured to have certain abilities than to fit a background or character concept. However, if he doesn't work out I'll just kill him off.In the end it's about having fun and as long as the PCs and DM are happy with the PrC, then go ahead and use them. Admittedly though, with all the PrCs that are out there, it is too easy to go overboard. Bigwilly, NSEDM</blockquote>
