Message: <blockquote data-quote="UngeheuerLich" data-source="post: 9817026" data-attributes="member: 59057">I like the multiclass rules as they are now. But my preferred multiclass option is how final fantasy XI classes work:You have one primary class and one secondary class.Secondary class is always half the primary class level and a select few abilities are not available as subclass.For D&D, I'd make it:Level 1: Option 1:chose species, background and main class and a feat. Option 2:Instead of chosing a main class, chose two secondary classes. You get reduced features (like level 1 as muticlass as it is now, you must chose wither pact magic or spellcasting trait) Level 2:Option 1:Chose a secondary class (a class that is half your total character level) Option 2:Chose a subclass (as they are now but improved to be as valuable as a class of half your level) So combining this two options at both levels you either have:Main class + subclassMain class + secondary classTwo secondary classes + one subclassThree secondary classes. Resoning behind it:Subclasses can be designed in a way that they are never combined with other subclasses. They are highly specialized. So no eldritch knight + blade singer combination. But you get a lot of freedom from being able to substitute a subclass for a secondary or even have 3 secondary classes without a specialization. I am not sure how I'd design feat and subclass progression. Probably just using total character level seems like a good idea. Another question is how spell levels add up,since it is possible to have a spell progression that is up to 1.5 spell levels. Maybe spellcasters only add 2/3 caster level towards total spell progression as main class and 1/3 as subclass. And most caster specializations add 1/3 caster level progression. And you round fractions up (like eldritch knight and arcane trickster). Math is a bit ugly.But spellcaster table could also be adjusted to have 30 levels instead of 20. And you get another spell level every 3 levels.</blockquote>
