Message: <blockquote data-quote="Storm Raven" data-source="post: 3231498" data-attributes="member: 307">Which means the problem wasn't the druid/ranger multiclass, it was some sort of variant rule.Since we are using the UA rules (and we are playing the part of multiclassing munchkins, of coure we are using those rules), the level limits are higher than that. Let's be a dark-elf female fighter/cleric, my level limits are then more like 12/Unlimited. Or, as a grey elf fighter/magic-user, my level limits are 5-7/11+. Basically, you'd sacrifice the portion of the game most people wouldn't play (10th+ level gaming in 1e) for hopped up powers at the stage where most campaigns took place.Let's see. He loses +1 BAB, so he only has two attacks, and not three. His hit dice are 2d12 + 3d6 + 2d8 + 4d10 = 54.5 on average, against 60.5 for the fighter. He has more skill points, assuming he picked, say barbarian first, he has 20 + 24 + 12 + 8 = 64 skill points, whereas the single classed fighter has 28. But the hybrid has a lot of limitations. To keep evasion and his ranger combat style (which I am assuming you are counting as one of the hybrid's feats) he has to be in light or no armor. To keep fast movement he has to be in medium or lighter armor. Most of his abilities are dictated by his class - he has little or no choice in them, he can only select two-weapon fighting or archery as his combat style, he has to take track, and so on.The fighter has three more bonus fighter feats than the hybrid, and gets to select most of his abilities as he chooses, and can use all of his abilities in any armor he chooses to. The hybrid, for all his gyrating through various classes, has gained a slight edge in some areas, so long as he adheres to a pile of restrictions on the armor he can wear, and how much he can carry, and figures out how to use the mish-mash of class abilities he has. Choosing who is more valuable to a party, I'd pick the single classed guy any day.</blockquote>
