[QUOTE="MerricB, post: 6186688, member: 3586"] I appreciate taking extra time to train, but one of the chief arguments against training has always been more time-related campaign arcs that require the gaining of levels with very little downtime. There have been more of a few of those in the history of the game! I also have a particular problem when the character concept should be multiclassed from the start, but the game mechanics require them to only multiclass later in their career. We had a lot of elf fighter/magic-users in the day, but requiring them to take a month off (say) for training when they add "magic-user" to their first level "fighter" just seems somewhat wrong to me. Multiclassing is often a way of allowing a character concept that the basic classes don't allow, but would be a "core" class of the game world. Yes, the character has just gained spells - but they've been training in spell-casting for a lot of time, this is just the first time they are able to do it effectively. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
