Message: <blockquote data-quote="hong" data-source="post: 546008" data-attributes="member: 537">While that's possible, I find it hard to believe that that would be a likely situation to arise -- where someone wants a (fairly generic) prestige class, but there's no way to incorporate it into the setting. To take the current example further, let's say I've seen the guildmage PrC in the FR book, and I want to play that class in your campaign. Let's suppose that you're willing to file off the serial numbers, as long as a suitable niche for the class can be found.For the class to be totally unsuitable, there would have to be 1) no large cities at all in your campaign; or 2) no large city with enough wizards to form a guild; or 3) if there was a large city with enough wizards, a good reason for them _not_ to form a guild; or 4) no wizards at all. These possibilities don't seem very likely to me. You don't need that many people to form a guild, and for a large city (population > 20,000) it doesn't seem that unreasonable that there would be at least a dozen or so wizards who would be willing to band together to carry out research or other wizardly duties. So as long as there's _some_ city that _could_ have a wizard's guild, there's an opening for a guildmage prestige class if anyone wants it.Now I can certainly see a DM not allowing more outre PrCs like the alienist or verdant lord, but the guildmage is nowhere near as extreme as that.</blockquote>
