I'm relatively new to D&D, I started with 5th, I prefer 3.5. I've come across something that's not quite obvious and/or answered amidst the pages of the books I've skimmed through. I've read the PHB and DMG a bit better than that but there's a lot to take in an little niches get missed.
I've googled the leveling order:
Choose Class
Adjust base attack bonus
Adjust base save bonus
Adjust ability score
Adjust skill points
Select feats
Select spells
Add class features
If I've 7 levels in a class, say fighter, and I have the experience to get my 8th level and I want to go into a Prestidge class that has a requirement of "character level 8th" since I got to level 8 before I choose the PrC does that mean I can take it starting at my 8th level?
I understand that for say "12 ranks in Survival" I've had to spend 12 ranks over my first 9 levels so I'd have met the requirements in my 9th level and could take it as my 10th since class selection comes before skill point allotment. This makes complete sense.
However the steps outlined don't mention when you actually attain "8th", does character level go up as a zeroth step or the last nth step?
