[QUOTE="jmucchiello, post: 7302499, member: 813"] You didn't pick Wilgrak's spellbook? And his one lonely spell? This is 1st ed. With descending AC and incomprehensible initiative system? I haven't played a 1st ed game in 15 years. (And I was a 12th level psionicist in that game.) If I were going to play a 1st ed game, I would play a multiclass character as I miss leveling both classes simultaneously. 3rd ed ruined multiclassing to me, who had played just about the legal and half the non-book legal multiclasses out there. (Ah, Flynn, the half-elf druid-bard of 2nd ed. I hope your tavern still survives in Silverymoon. retired in 2001 or so when we switched to 3e.) So, yes, I'm nostalgic enough to do this but none of the characters thrill me. Where's the Elf ftr-mu? EDIT: Milestone leveling? What is that? The whole point of 1e is that the thief is just about always 2 levels higher than the mage and the ftr-mage elf is 7/7 or 7/8 when the cleric reaches 10th level, not 14th. The game is just not balanced for everyone to be the same level at the same time. You can't do 1e with multiclasses being nerfed as you intend. a 7/7 ftr/mu has at most 180,000 xp split 90/90. (two more xp and his mu goes to 8th level.) 14th level is at a minimum 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 xp. That's just not fair to the multiclasser. At 1,500,000 xp a the ftr-mu would be levels 10/11 and 2 xp away from levels 11/12. Oh, and a thief with 1,500,000 xp is level 16th level. [/QUOTE]
