Min/Max 3.x / Re: Break my E6 Houserule - Prestiging beyond 6th.

I like the idea, I don't think it would be broken so easily, as you are not circumventing any requirements.
In my E6 group we have simply chosen to lower all common prerequisites - at least the numerical ones - so that a prestige class can be taken at level 2. Of course not all prereqs are lifted, like third level spells, for instance, or requiring a high-level class feature.
Some classes might break, but less so when you only gain them after level 6. For instance the Beastmaster or that monster herder, I forgot the name, that would get non level-appropriate pets, do break under our rules, but would not break under yours.
In my PbP game I ran for quite a while on the old boards, characters could even choose which levels to replace, but in that case only for LA-substitution levels or template HD. So you could swap out empty levels, and that was fully intended.
