Re: Spacebuckler Updates

I'm rather fond of prestige classes. Of course I don't think I've ever
used a prestige class "Out of the Box". Most prestige classes seem to be
written for some 'generic' world. My first reading as to the point of
Prestige classes was that they were supposed to be intimately tied to
the world. Because of this, all prestige classes have at the very least
organizational, regional, etc requirements added on.

This is one of my pet peeve topics, sorry for sticking my nose in. I see
a lot of "Prestige classes are bad" posts, but I don't think the problem
is with the PrC.. its with people's inability to use them as intended
and a lot of inability to write them correctly.
