[QUOTE="Corsair, post: 3726617, member: 23477"] Except you're already multiclassing two classes at minimum to get what you want. Many PrCs are specifically designed and intended to enhance a pair of classes. So now you're up to three. Unless they are crazy 13 level PrCs or what have you, you're can either continue in one of your base classes, or move into another PrC, but that decision generally won't matter until 16th level or so. I think for most non-druids, 3 classes at minimum seems pretty common, even if you aren't blending things. For wizards it was often Wizard 5 / Something else 10 / Something Like Archmage 5. Newer options allow for stuff like Wizard 3 / Master Specialist 10 / Iot7V 7. The same goes for fighters and rogues. If you go straight from rogue to shadow dancer, you either need to return to rogue or find something new to finish off with. Still three classes. This gets worse for blended people. A mystic theurge will run out of MT levels at 16th, and will likely want to find some way to continue advancing in their chosen schtick. Ditto for the Gish. Why would someone with 10 levels of EK want to turn back into taking normal fighter or wizard levels? That seems like a very bad idea both from a mechanical standpoint and a concept one. It doesn't make sense that someone who has been making a habit for most of their career of blending magic and weapon use will suddenly stop advancing one of those aspects of his style. [/QUOTE]
