1st ed AD&D multiclassing

Does a fighter/illusionist, for example, use the better of the two classes' attack matrices and saving throws? If not, how does this work? Thanks in advance.

In old school multi-classing, you generally get the best of both worlds in everything with the exception of hit dice.

In that one case, you average them rather than use the most favorable one.

That, and also, for common sense reasons, multi-classed thieves are restricted to leather armor in using most of their functions.

You can simulate 1st ed multi-classing in 3e by using the gestalt rules and applying a level adjustment.

+2 LA seems about right to me, and I think that was the very rough consensus last time I saw this issue brought up. (It means a cleric/wizard's spell-casting would track with a mystic-theurge, for instance. )
