On the one hand, when they first released the new rules, I loved how they simplified the multiclass system. That part of D&D had always been frustrating IMO and this really reduced some of the quirkiness. It really did make a difference for me. But as you point out, the class dipping and the unpredictability of some of the combos produced....unexpected results. This could work if you embraced, it could also work if you worked hard to curtail it. For me, really emphasizing the in game time investment made a huge difference. You didn't just take a level in x when you felt like it, you had to put in the training and often seek out people who could induct you (in the case of classes where there was that slrt of requirement). I think 4e responded to a problem many people genuinely had with the game. I dont fault them for tackling it and the way they went about it was more like classic D&D I think. But I would really like to see an effort made to preserve the flexibility and simplicity of the 3e multiclass system while eliminating mnag of its excesses.</p></blockquote><p></p>
