Multiclass fighter types (including rangers) could still specialize. Clerics didnt have weapon restrictions. 2E depends on what supplements you use. That depends on a game actually reaching 10+, and spending any appreciable amount of time at 10+. Specialization is again dependent on splats, as other resources added ways to specialize (players option books, kits, etc). Gnomes could be multi-class illusionists. Al-quadim allowed MC elemental specialists (required in fact) etc. But more than the mage, which was my example (and better saves... dat Paralyzation/Poison/Death!). If you were thinking about going mage, it was kind of "why not add some cleric?". Other than the "strict" roleplaying straightjacket of following the god of magic!  <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=";)" />In general, you'll know if your group is going to level 10+. Few games go to where you fight d6 tarrasques as a random encounter heh. I reached 15+ once in all my 1E/2E days. In the range most campaigns reached before they fell apart, it was pretty much a no brainer for lots of classes.  Yeah, that would really only work if everyone did it (and the DM adjusted encounter difficulty accordingly).</blockquote>
