09-12-07, 04:35 PM Hey i was wondering about what PrC i should choose for my Scout, as of right now he is a melee based combantant since the party already had more than enough ranged damage but only a Paladin for close combat

09-12-07, 05:28 PM Yes, afaik. Would your party have Complete Scoundrel? The Swift hunter feat makes the Ranger one of the best scout PrCs ever. Full BAB, 2 good saves, spells... and more. Worth your time imo :)

Anyway, there are a few other PrCs that come to mind that give you the ability to pounce (full attack on charge), which can be quite good in your case.
- A (half-)elf can qualify for the Wildrunner PrC from Races of the Wild, which gives some nice barbarian-ish abilities. It also increases your land speed, which can't hurt.
- Frostburn has the Primeval PrC: while normally for warriors, one of the forms it can give you is the Dire Lion. However, due to the prerequisites single-classed scouts can't enter until lvl 11 or so\
- Oriental Adventures has the Singh Rager (lawful barbarian-esque PrC).
- CChampion allegedly has some barbarian variant that gives you pounce anyway, but I don't have the book myself.

agains thanks for the input, and though the wildrunner looks like a very interesting option i doubt i'd ever play it since i and my group are pretty much anti-elf, its an entire party of dwarves(cleric, mage, and a ranged combat ranger) plus a gnome(the paladin) and my human scout.

Also on a side note how hard do you guys think it would be to change the Mountain Stalker or what ever the name is to more of a swamp fighter?
