[QUOTE="FormerlyHemlock, post: 7046828, member: 6787650"] Heh. I'm the opposite. Capstones are really important to me as a (very occasional) player and therefore also as a designer. I would NEVER want to create a Barbarian 1/Moon Druid X even though mechanically they are amazing, because I would always be very conscious of the fact that I'd foreclosed forever the awesomest thing about being a Moon Druid. That isn't necessarily to say that I wouldn't have fun [I]playing[/I] such a PC, in the same way I could have fun playing a PC with 6s in every stat, because fun at the table has very little to do with chargen. But I wouldn't have fun creating and advancing such a PC, because he's a dead end with no future, permanently handicapped. Whatever it is that makes you want to keep going for just one more magic item and one more point of XP simply wouldn't function with this guy--I'd take him into the Tomb of Horrors without a qualm just to see what's there.
