He couldn't remember where it said that, but when I pointed out the large number of PrC's that say "Paladins can level as this class and still advance as a Paladin" or 'Monks can take levels of this class and still advance as a Monk', he would brush it off as just typos in the books. I'd be more inclined to think of what he named as a variant rule, or is the typo itself. Anyone on here know what he's talking about?

Unlike the basic classes, characters must meet Requirements before they can take their first level of a prestige class. The rules for level advancement apply to this system, meaning the first step of advancement is always choosing a class. If a character does not meet the Requirements for a prestige class before that first step, that character cannot take the first level of that prestige class. Taking a prestige class does not incur the experience point penalties normally associated with multiclassing. Heres the link: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/prestigeClasses/prestigeClasses.htm So no PrCs DO NOT incur XP penalties or Racial Paragon classes for that matter. To answer why it says Monk or Paladin is because a monk or paladin can not continue to take monk or paladin levels if they take a level of something else. Respect Nathan P.S. I love it when a easy one is floated up for me.:D
