It would help points 2) and 3) when multiclassing 2 spellcaster classes but not when multiclassing a spellcaster with a non-spellcaster. Of course this is totally house rules and I don't want to hijackmy own thread, it's just to say that perhaps this could have been a minor fix to the problem, which seems to be a well known problem and could have been addressed by 3.5. I don't think it would have changed much, but at least it would have reduced the penalties.Anyway, I really like the idea of characters who have two classes, one of which is the main and the other is just a few levels (like less than 20%). I like this multiclass more than the 50%-50%, it's like a person which has a job and a hobby  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> , like a full-time doctor who also plays piano in his spare time. For example, a Wizard with some Rogue levels would be still a spellcaster who complements his spells with sneak attack, a couple of more skills and more weapon proficiencies; otherwise, a Rogue with some levels of Wizard could learn a few good magic tricks to help scouting and sneaking...This kind of multiclass IMHO should open for very interesting characters. The highest-level spells being delayed is the big price to pay, but I still hope it makes for a viable choice. Perhaps for those players who were so good to get more XP than the others and are always 1-2 level higher?  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
