Curbing Multi-classing

[Quip]

I set aside the initial +2 save bonuses and weapon and armor proficiencies to only apply if its your first class, the same way you only get the x4 skill points at first level.

The way I see it, those things represent everything learned from their youth until they became a fully fledged member of their class. It doesn't make much sense to learn all of that just because they decided to change focus.

 

[Fighter1]

Fighter1 ... very different than Fighter20 ... at Fighter1 you're so full of promise ... so many classes to multiclass into.

Well you know - new campaign and all...

If I chose Fighter20 as a user name people might pigeonhole me as "oh; one of THOSE people! Oh your so special now; Mr. I'm going epic..."

There is so much hatred in this world...

Exactly. Fighters are a just-add-flavor class. No inherent flavor whatsoever

Exactly - You got it - sort like [insert extended family member name] (you all got one!) Sunday dinner; just add 3 pounds of salt, couple pounds of pepper and anything else to cover up the taste of that...well call it a caserole.
