I mean, as this multi-class combo works now, it is pretty frightening. I mean it is an arcane/divine spellcaster with a lot of martial capability. Sure, he looses out on the really big spells from each class. But he has more HP and better combat capability than a straight Wiz; has a better selection of damage dealing and general utility spells than a straight Clr. And he has an impressive set of saves.But my question boils down to this: why should a generallist be on par at anything with a pair (or more) of specialists?Consider that one could make the argument that a Bar2/Clr3/Ftr3/Rgr3/Rog3/Sor3/Wiz3 does not stand as equal in a fight against a Bar20, or a Clr20, or a Ftr20, or a Rgr20, or a Rog20 or a Sor20 or a Wiz20. Does this mean that the multiclass system is broken? No, it means that the character took a sub-optimal career path.</blockquote>
