Current Prestige Class rules

I remember that things were left a bit murky during Boom's reign as DMA with PrC's; what are the current PrC rules? Specifically I'm wondering if it's still not allowed to take 2 prestige classes for the same PC.
thanks

My understanding is 1 PrC only.
But that's based on oral history as opposed to any real knowledge.

But to be honest ... at this point who really cares either way?

Your DM may care
I am pretty sure its ONE PrC per character

You're probably best off pretending Boombrakh's DMA term never happened in terms of rules in play; the people who didn't leave immediately got right down to ignoring those rulings, and the DMA to follow didn't uphold them--you'll note that the old post
was edited to just read the rules as they existed before (save for my refusal to make ACR changes for rules that would obviously not hold up longer than a release cycle; that is preserved for posterity), and the new DMA
bumped it to alert everyone to the sort.

Hi! Is Horizon Walker ready to go yet?

Alas, all of our druids stopped playing, so it ceased to seem sensible to do druid-specific development.

Well this druid is playing!
And it was you who gave me the idea for Horizon Walker (Thank you by the way, it's too perfect for Bu, even though i know it won't happen), since my dreams of Shifter PrC were dashed so eloquently by Curm with the words, and I quote:
"Shifter PrC in ALFA, over my dead body."
As if i'd abuse it.
Oh well.

It's Ok, i was just kidding I guess.

Curm is not the DMA right now. If you can convince the DMA/tech, you could theoretically get whatever you want approved. Just needs elected leaders to go for it.
Then, well, you'd have to learn how to mod NWN2, and make the PrC yourself. Because it sure as hell isn't going to get done otherwise.

I might also suggest that you could recruit about 50 people to join ALFA. If the population gets up to what we had a few years ago, it'll start making more sense to work on NWN2 than Mund.
But yeah, at current levels/patterns of activity, the best way to get my effort to an audience is to support whoever the current active builder is and to try to get us closer to a game that doesn't require Aurora/Electron.

I can't imagine Shifter lvls in ALFA would make him more broken than druid (primary spellcaster that can already wildshape), especially since shapeshifting/polymorphing etc is rather limited in our gameplay to DM arbitration or the small number of limited shapes available mechanically (player: 'I shapeshift to a dragon' DM: 'lol no') - unless there's a version of shifter that gets caster progression. In that case, yeah... I could see why curm said that ('lol I are now a dragon with lvl 9 spells' ).
It'll be a net decrease of power with either PrC for Bu. Only in ALFA would nearly every high lvl pc around purposely
avoid their class's most powerful features
My PG advice would be to keep it simple, stick with drood levels.

In absolutely NO way was I looking to get "more powerful". That has never been any desire of mine. Both Shifter and Horizon Walker were purely an RP pathway for Bu because they both make perfect RP sense. Bu does not even use a magic weapon. Every item on him was made by him and also RP based (and not very "powerful").
And thank you all for the info everyone, it's good to hear these things, it was a joke from the start, I had no illusions of asking or expecting anything from it. I'm peachy happy sticking with Druid indefinitely until he's 19th level as I promised he'd be to many unbelievers.
cheers
