I didn't immediately approve Doug's Orc-Faced Killer request because of my natural instinct to nix special requests outside the scope of the rules as written.<BR/><BR/>Feat and skilled-based requirements are better. Then you simply have to grapple with whether or not you're willing to spend the feat slot(s). Changing races in play is considerably more problematic than guiding character progression at leveling. And alignment... I don't really want to talk about it. I only address alignment at all in play because of the spells and class abilities that are coupled to it.Jeff Rientshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493878980535235896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-1151350254213442702006-06-26T14:30:00.000-05:002006-06-26T14:30:00.000-05:00Choices can be frustrating.Prestige classes are, e...Choices can be frustrating.<BR/><BR/>Prestige classes are, essentially, classes that are custom-tailored to fit specific concepts. Some of these concepts (Eldritch Knight, Archmage, Duelist) are pretty broad. Others (Dragon Disciple, Assassin, Shadowdancer) are narrower. Still others that appeared after the DMG (Shadowbane Inquisitor, Black Flame Zealot, Daggerspell Shaper) are pretty damn specific.<BR/><BR/>What gets frustrating is when Wizards decides that there are concepts really close to the one you have which they will design a prestige class around, but then limit it such that you can't take it for your character because your concept is the 'wrong' alignment or race or whatever.<BR/><BR/>That just seems lame to me.Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06319443832578685630noreply@blogger.com
