[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 2917182, member: 2209"] Almost. Normally a fighter 1 rogue 1 would get 2x4 + 8 skill points for 16 skill points while a rogue 1 fighter 1 would get 8x4 + 2 skill points for 34 skill points. Under my house rule the fighter 1 rogue 1 would also have the optimal 34 skill points total though it would go as follows 2x4 + (2 + 6x4). So when the fighter picks up rogue he quadruples those extra six skill points that rogues have over fighter as a class. Later if he then picked up a third class it would not quadruple unless it was some wierd class I'm not aware of with more skill points than a rogue. It's not 1st level in every class, it just makes the order you take classes irrelevant for your total number of hp or skill points. Looking back to recalculate skill points at higher level and checking the math will be easier as I won't have to remember the order of things as much. At least that's my theory. :) The only complication where I have to think about orders is the gestalt issue then. [/QUOTE]
