Converting 5 level PrC?


Conversions


First time poster here just wanted some thoughts on what to do with 5 level prestige classes. (I couldn't find anything related to this on these forums)

The PF conversion guide has guidelines for PrC saving throw progression but it really only addresses 10 level PrC. Should I stick with the source material ST or just use the conversion guide up to level 5?

As a side note: what to do with 'Sudden Strike' as the rules for Sneak Attack have changed.

Just drop the sneak attack phrase as it pertains to "flanking" or scrap sudden strike altogether for Sneak Attack(and would this make classes like the Dread Commando overpowered)?

thanks in advance

What do they say?

I'd just do what is recommended for the 10-level prestige classes. In Pathfinder #26 (which is PFRPG-based) there is a 3-level prestige class that follows the same rules, so it's safe to assume that a 5-level would also.

(And really, the whole point behind the change was to keep saving throws under control; the sudden +2 to one or two saves could result in some questionably high modifiers with level-dipping.)
