[QUOTE="jensun, post: 3929121, member: 6504"] I think the term build often has a rather negative connotation applied to it. This may or may not be justified in any particular case. When talking about concept and 3e and multiclassing the main difficulty I found was finiding enugh class levels to accurately represent your character concpet. All levels are additive so it can take quite a while before the character you are playing represents at all the character in your head. Given multiclass characters in previous editions were rarely more than a level behind everyone else until after around level 11 it made bringing your concept into play much easier much sooner. 3e also suffers from the problem that you cannot create an effective multiclassed spellcaster unless you add in various PrC's. Of course 1e and 2e multilassing was straight up better than being single classed.* I often used to wonder how humans became the dominant race when their class options were so horribly limited with the exception of the superman like dual classers. *This assumes you ignore the racial level limits which, in my experience, was the most common house rule ever.
