[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 2084056, member: 29014"] OK, the Orrukarn seem to be more in line now (although they are still more powerful than some other races with similar ECL, but that's because those races have ECL that is too high, in my opinion). I made the human skill bonus worth 1 feat because there's a 3.5 feat that gives 1 skill point per level and more, plus we made a Scion feat that does so. As for the multiclassing, I just rarely see base class multiclassing, and I agree with your assertions that campaign styles will vary. However, for me it was not so much that I just let anybody with the right feats take a prestige class so much as that players built their characters from level 1 knowing what prestige classes had organisations IMC, expecting to attempt to join those organisations (They would have been bored if they just kept taking levels in the base class and didn't gain any interesting abilities). Frankly, all of the pure casters would never multiclass into anything that didn't give +caster level, so core class multiclassing was out. The only people who really did core-class multiclassing were cherry-picking the first few levels of a base class for useful abilities. Edit: If you're wondering why I think that it is balanced after doing that feat analysis thing with the fighter above, its because straight fighters are extremely weak and LA is so crippling that it needs to be overcompensated to make a race decision worthwile.
