[QUOTE="Arabesu, post: 4040784, member: 534"] Yup. If for some reason you need to dip into four classes over 9 levels, then either 1) Your just trying to cherry pick the best out of the obviously front-loaded classes, or 2) Your character concept doesn't fit with the base and prestige classes available reason 1 is a common powergamer trick and I have to draw the line somewhere or pretty soon it'll escalate into everyone asking me if they can play gestalt characters and then I have to adjust the challenges accordingly and the other players suffer AND spend more time in preparation than I'd like. There are enough power-gamerish options out there already, so I have to set boundaries somewhere, and in my experience this is the simplest for me to adjudicate and still provide the flexibility that the DND multi-class rules encourage. reason 2 I can work with, pitch a concept for a custom prestige or base class and I'll work on it. If looking to go Bo9s archer, there is a single class option on the internet that may interest you but I don't have time to find it now. If you are short one feat, consider ONE flaw. I have opened that option up for another PC. This might allow you to drop fighter altogether. Three classes is a reasonable number for a 9th level character IMO. [/QUOTE]
