If a character has multiple classes that all granted evasion, is the third time you get it wasted. Or can it progress to something like cunning evasion?

The second and subsequent times you acquire evasion are pretty much wasted, since they do not stack to upgrade evasion into improved evasion and so on and so forth. It could make for a decent houserule though.:)

Exception do exist, though. Check the Master Thrower.
It wouldn't be too powerful to grant something like Cunning Evasion if you get a stacking Evasion again, I suppose... I can't really see how, however.

On a side note, what does this cunning evasion ability do?:)

Technically, most classes that grant evasion don't give you anything extra if you already have it unless they specifically say so. Seeing as many of the recent PrCs have language allowing their Evasion to stack with another Evasion to grant Improved Evasion I allow that for all PrC sources.

Seeing how Cunning Evasion is a feat that doesn't require Improved Evasion I see no reason to allow a third Evasion to stack and grant this feat.

A PrC that gives a 'stacking' evasion is (I'm pretty sure) balanced differently than a PrC that doesn't. A couple-level dip to get Improved Evasion is pretty powerful...

Thank you for your help guys/girls, I have a better grasp on PrC feats stacking now, which will help with my build cheers.
