Here's an idea that someone posted and then deleted. I personally don't like it, as I think the prestige classes should just be opened up, but it's a valid idea and I think it should be added to the mix.

The idea was to put up an initial barrier to getting a prestige class that would require IC interaction with the "gatekeeper" of that prestige class. But once that inital barrier was passed, no more interaction would be required. I think the idea was that you couldn't get 1st level in a prestige class until you found a trainer, but once you got approved, you could go all the way to 10th. This same idea could be applied at 2nd level, or 5th level or 9th lvl instead too. There is also no reason that the "gatekeeper" need be a PC.

I hope I've presented the idea fairly enough for discussion. I still don't like it, though it would probably be better than what we have now. I still think we need to remove all barriers to character development, at least for the backend stuff such as lvls, feats, skills, etc...

I voted open them up. I do like the idea of the NPC quests, but my concerns with it are... How long it would take to implement? And what we would do in the mean time? There are 9 prestige classes currently available, if we have a quest for each one of them for levels 6-10, thats 45 new quests we would need to see. Even if it's just 2 or 3 quests needed to reach 10th in your PrC it's still a lot of work.

I voted to open them up, but my secondary choice is to have NPC's had out quests to level.

The idea of having Dasaria PrC's isn't a bad idea, but it would take a lot of work from the gods and require a lot of balancing. Of course, so would adding all the quests for NPC's handing out PrC's.

I was never concerned with the restrictions on the prestige classes. That was not the reason I have never attempted to create one. As far as I know, they are not any more powerful than regular classes and I don't see any reason to restrict them. I'd say either take them away or change it so every class has to has that wand.

yeah, like Dava said, i think it's a lot of work!
I agree that prestige classes ain't that powerful. but still, I think that the initial idea of a trainer was not so bad, but it just ain't working as there are too few trainers on the one hand and on the other, different time zones screw the system not to say those trainers who once have the wand, disappear....

and btw, what's plums? drugs?
Loki, after lots of pizza, lots of plums?

In England 'Plums' is a slang word for 'testicles'

Judas,

You shouldn't post things like this during the day while people are trying to work, etc.. People always look at you strange when you start laughing uncontrollably for apparently no reason.

Very funny! LMAO
