So waiting until 5th level as a Fighter to take a level of Wizard was a steep XP penalty. Level dipping wasn’t a thing because you couldn’t just take a level or two and call it quits... RAW. So taking 1 level of ranger for 2W fighting was not by the book.In 3.5 they introduced the favored class by race rules where each race had their own favored class like Gnome was Bard, and you didn’t take any XP penalties for favored class level disparities. a player could designate his favored class if they played a human.I also recall but could be wrong that they lessened the XP impact of multiclassing but I’ve not looked at a 3.5 book in over a decade.</blockquote>
