[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 6678153, member: 5100"] I allow feats, but my intent was always to say "You're 4th level, gain a +2 to stats." Unfortunately, my players are still in the 3E mindset that "I'm 4th level, I get a feat (or a +2 to stats, if I really can't find anything)." I'm not sure how to fix that w/o removing feats entirely, for the next campaign. I really, really like feats to add one or two little tweaks to a PC, but hated the arms race from 3E. I probably shouldn't worry too much, since I'm using Eberron and have two Dragonmarked characters (using feats). 5E multiclassing looks like the most useful, least broken way of doing it to date. The rogue dipped into one level of ranger, mostly for pure character reasons. Otherwise, no one is hot to do it. The system looks neither penalizing nor over-potent, which is a good thing. One thing I [U]love[/U] about the multiclassing rules is that casters get to toss all their spells into one big bucket for casting. Strangely, the most obvious use for this is expressly against the intent of the designers: feats that grant spell knowledge (Dragonmarks) don't get pooled into the character's prepared spells. To this, I've decided that WotC can pound sand. Letting Dragonmarks count as prepared spells makes so much sense in terms of the setting -- no need for a Dragonmarked Heir PrC when the Fighter can just choose to go with Eldritch Knight, for example. From personal experience, allowing this is definitely [U]not[/U] broken. Edit: didn't originally comment on multiclassing. [/QUOTE]
