Prestige Class Curiousity


Rules Questions


I have a PC who wants his Inquisitor to eventually become a Kensai. After looking at the Complete Warrior and making a tweak since there is no Concentration Skill in PF everything seems okay with me.

However the last class feature listed talks about a MultiClass Note something like (i don't have the book in front of me)

If a Samurai, Palidin or Monk takes levels in Kensai they may continue to gain levels in their original class.

I never played 3.5 so I don't understand the advantage this gives. Some of the other prestige classes had a similar note, like the Shining Knight & Knight of the Purple Dragon.

It is not really relavent to my players situation but now it has become a matter of morbid curiosity.

Thanks for your help.

in 3.5 monks/pallies/ and apparently samurai weren't able to continue taking levels in their original class if they multiclassed. Something about the level of dedication or concentration it took to become a monk/pally/samurai.

It was a crap rule that they ditched in pathfinder. It's a good thing. Basically just delete that sentence as part of your conversion.


Alllrighty then. Good to know.

That does seem like a crap rule. Glad they ditched it.

Thanks
