All in all I am glad to see this. It's a huge help not to have to pull out four differnt books every time I need to referance something. And I agree with others that some more art would be wonderful. I love the pictures in these books but like it was say there are times where items exist and me nor my players really know what we are looking at.

I believe that the general consensus is that Archetypes > Prestige Classes. Everybody seems tired of the 3.5 PrC bloat. And a book of prestige classes would be an icon of that bloat, frankly.

First, I find it a little presumptuous for you to say that everybody does or should Dislike PrC’s. Given the appropriate situations I find they can be pretty entertaining. They are options that give a bit of flavor to a given class. Now there are going to be power gamers and Min. Maxers everywhere you go. It is simply something that some people derive entertainment from. And really that’s what all this is about. What you get your entertainment from. While you may think the devil of PrC’s I have never been to fond of Copious amounts of Monster Books. However that might well be your thing and so you would purchase it. That is your right.

1. PrCs are delayed payout. If I want to play a guy that's good at throwing things or good at exotic weapons or using his divine magic to hurt undead, I want to play him now, from level 1 on. I don't want to wait several months before I get a chance to. I'm no longer a 20yr old youngster who can live off excitement about things that will happen at level 20, I'm a jaded 30yr old who lives in fear of his gaming group falling apart because somebody gets married or has children. And no, I don't care about your gaming group.

And I may only be speaking for myself... but just because you live in fear that lifes changes will ruin any plans beyond the moment, doesn't mean everybody does. We play this game for its options, or else we would all be playing some RPG by ourselves somewhere. The Options are why I love the game so much. Now I agree Wotc did alot of PrC fluff, but as of yet I havn't seen Paizo put out anything that wasn't good quality, and its why I would never have asked for such a thing from Wotc. But I trust in Paizo's ability to publish quality content.

And to Close. In the simplest way I can. If you don't like the book. Don't buy the book.

If this is truely a suggestions forum then I would like to suggest a book with a strong amount of prestege classes. Mini classes that can take our core classes in all four books (As Ultimate Combat is not far now.) In a radically different direction. I know for myself I secretly hoped to see some form of pathfinder conversion into the Master of Many Forms of past. It was always my favorite class and while it may be a bad argument with just the one class, prestige classes could easily add a different twist to players less interested in lvl 20 abilities and more interested in exotic flavors for their character's canvas. What do you guys think, and further what would be some good Prestige classes. This company has always been very player friendly. Its the main reason I play their product. Maybe with enough ideas we could get some sort of book in the works. Course if its just me feel free to shoot it down.

Thanks for the redirect. I have a hard time with these kinds a things.

I love the look of the class and have a couple of them built to use as enemies for my group. The only issue I have with the class is the spell list itself. I know more spells are likely to be added with the new book, but they have to many large area effects and the like. My opinion is they should get melee and ranged touch attacks, transmutation spells, a few utility or combat spells, and thats it. I dont think the melee character who gets armor, a d8 hit die, and prof with all martial weapons needs fireball on his spell list.

There is a master Alchemist Feat that lets you use the GP cost instead of the SP cost for determining how long it takes to make Alchemy items and poisons.
