→Is it really worth it?
::: Depends on whether the PC is simply interested in "MOAR POWA'" as far as spells go, or versatility as far more abilities are concerned that open up a number of options that don't necessarily waste spells. Take a look at most rogue-level wizard PrCs, and you'll notice they follow a similar pattern. --[[User:Ghostwheel|Ghostwheel]] 18:48, May 21, 2010 (UTC)
:::: Well, on the one hand, we can say that all classes must be inherently balanced against each other, but the truth about D&D is that combat takes precedence over all other design factors in a PrC. Those more interested in roleplay don't like this fact - I'm one of them - but it's a sad truth of tabletop game design: combat happens, and if a class doesn't deliver the goods in such an exchange, players are going to walk away from it. The BAB on this class is an interesting choice; an improved attack bonus makes sense on a PrC focusing on rays or touch attacks, but the Magus Portalus isn't that kind of caster. Really, what does the portal effect do that ''dimension door'' or ''passwall'' doesn't? (I suppose in the case of ''passwall'', the portal can go through a solid iron wall.) Yes, ten levels into the PrC they have this portal effect at their disposal twelve times a day, which is rather a lot more often than most characters can (or are willing to) cough up similar effects, but the other abilities have extremely limited uses per day. The equation seems lopsided to me, but the PrC would definitely make for a very interesting NPC. [[Special:Contributions/67.149.192.84|67.149.192.84]] 07:24, May 22, 2010 (UTC)
