I recently purchased the expanded psi handbook. I was looking through the new rules, and came across something disturbing under the illithid slayer PrC:
XPH wrote: If the character did not belong to a manifesting class before taking this prestige class (for example, if she was a soulknife or a ranger with the Wild Talent feat), she does not gain manifesting levels.
Why would they make a PrC that gains manifesting/spellcasting levels, then make it so non manifesters can get into them, and kick them in the nuts?
Of course, they don't stop wizards from entering Forsaker, but then again, eveything sucks the second you take that class, so perhaps that's a bad example.
anyway, what's wrong with just saying "If you don't have a manifester class, you manifest as a Psychis warrior" or something like that? Sure, it wouldn't be that great, but it would be better than "No psi for you, dumbass!"
