[QUOTE="jdavis, post: 549588, member: 8704"] I haven't looked at all PrC's most of the ones I have looked at are no more over the top than what can be done with some creative multiclassing. It sounds like you have a problem with players who try to make powerful characters but that is just part of the game. The people I game with rarely use prestige classes and tend not to multiclass, it all seems sort of silly to them, we have one person who self handicaps his characters for role playing purposes to the point where he is almost useless, he likes it that was, it's more of a challenge. People who go through all the effort to gain a prestige class in order to make a powerful character are wanting a powerful character, they are not cheating they just want to power game, that is a style problem not a rule problem. If the whole party wishes to have over the top high powered characters then I doubt they are looking for a role playing intensive session, they are looking for a good fight. Power gamers want to power game and role players want to say they are cheating or bending the rules, but they aren't they are just after a different experience from the game. I get no enjoyment out of making a monster unstoppable character because I have DM'd enough to know that there is no such thing as a unstoppable character. Alot of people enjoy making over the top characters though, they like to game that way and that is their perogative. The problem comes when you mix people who wish to role play and people who want to power game. [/QUOTE]
