I have to agree, prestige classes have certainly found a place in my gaming heart over the years. While I agree with the point that the new classes are more viable in comparison, I don't agree with simply using class features to replace them. PrC's add a certain specific flavor that a tree of standard class features just don't.

Otherwise why don't we just have one class called "Hero001" and allow it to choose from all available features.

For my taste, I would request a revivification of PrCs.

I'd like to see Scout and Tempest re-done. (Yes, please).

As a side note I'd like to comment that I think you're asking the wrong question. This game we play is not an MMO, the main development concern should not be balance and niches between classes when they are compared. I believe that this is antithetical to the purpose of the pen and paper RPG. I have encountered power hungry, meta-gaming players can amuse themselves with monks that can flying kick every monster in the room for 120 dmg. This gets boring fast. The game is about expressing a character and experiencing a story, not "gaming the game" as it were. Bards have the potential to be extremely flavorful characters within a story.

2. Greyhawk
3. Golarion
4. Dragonlance

-10. Eberron (no thank you)

I just ordered mine. I suppose you all can imagine my relief when I discovered Pathfinder after being so disappointed by 4th Ed. Is there quite a back order?

Yes, thank you for letting us know whats coming next. It's exciting to see what "3.7" is gonna do to with the game, as far as new and exciting character classes. Still for the sake of the characters we have stuck in limbo, a re-hash of the WotC classes would be welcome.

Regardless it looks like Pathfinder is aiming to get rid of most of the old instant death effects. Replacing them with lots of damage. Of course if your 20th level cleric occasions to nuke a 1st level commoner with a Harm spell you can always 'house rules' that that would be enough to slay the unlucky fellow.

I had really hoped to see scout addressed sometime soon, and some of the old PrC's. Do we know the scope Pathfinder plans to take in rewriting the old 3.5 classes? I remember there were a lot of them in the "complete" books, seems like a lengthy project in itself.
