[Dr Dragon]

Erm....Class rogue?

[Sandstorm]

I think you're completely missing the point of the class, Dr D. It is not a rogue. It is a prestige class, given to those who have earned prestige. It is like a rogue like a CoT is like a paladin, or an assassin is like a rogue, or a shifter is like a druid.

[Luke Danger]

I support this, we have too few people who are the merchents/beuracrats that run things.

Saddly, their strength would be a strong network of allies and contacts, because they wouldn't last five minutes in a drawn out battle if they got all 5 levels.

[Thomas_Not_very_wise]

for it

[Caddies]

I like the base idea, but would prefer something less general.

For example, a 'Merchant Prince' PRC and a 'Diplomat' PRC, rather than all and sundry being rolled into a generic 'Professional' PRC with somewhat drab bonuses.

[efuincarnate]

This is a five star suggestion.

[SkillFocuspwn]

I am not really sure why we need a PrC to completely overpower the non-combat build. Caddies suggestions have merit, but it would need a lot more than just insane buffs to charisma and astronomical social skills.

[derfo]

GOOD IDEA BUT BORING LEVEL UP THINGS. MAYBE 5 OF A CERTAIN SKILL OR SOMETHING AS A PREREQ AND SOME UNNECESSARILY DISTRACTING DESCRIPTIVE PARAGRAPHS FOR THE LEVEL UPS ALSO

[Velve]

All for the idea, really. Better off being general, its still specific enough, while not meaning several new PRCs need to be made by being too specific.

[Pestilence]

I HATE HOW EVERYBODY MAKES A SUGGESTION ONLY FOR THEMSELVES! THINK ABOUT THE NOOBS!

[Cornith hull]

This might work if you got exp from selling

[tooh]

Rolls in such + appraise, + persuade, + intimidate, + bluff, will be enforced to players ?

[9lives]

Dicerolls between players will not be enforced, it's up to the player if they wish to comply - Which isn't really common. We do expect people to properly roleplay their skillranks, however.
