[QUOTE="Cadence, post: 6175950, member: 6701124"] Mom lied about who dad was - turns out it wasn't Sven the blacksmith, it was the half-demonic Ollie from the next village older. Our poor hero doesn't find out until, like some late blooming mutant in the Marvel universe, he wakes up one morning in camp screaming because he accidentally started the place on fire due to a nightmare. Look, all kinds of powers! Ignoring of course all the training it takes to control them, blah, blah, blah. But the RAW multiclassing already ignores things like that for the save bonuses, the weapon and armor proficiencies, and class skills that took the single class character a huge chunk of their teen-age and early adult years to get. But if I'm already compromising my ideals and allowing the shaman's Barbarian ritual to pass (it is just a game) is this _that_ much worse. Of course now we're on the slope to getting a wannabe multi-class Wizard who managed to be visited by the spirit of a long-dead arch-mage who was looking for someone to psychically train in the mystic arts overnight. Blech! Maybe it would be better to have the harsh rules and give each player a "metagame trick card" once every couple years. [/QUOTE]
