[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 4640266, member: 50987"] It reduces the amount of cherry-picking that goes on in 3.5E, and forces characters to be more linear and distinct. If those things aren't a problem in your game, then you probably don't need to houserule it. If they are, this is a pretty simple way to handle it. We wanted multiclassing to be a rather rare occurance, instead of the default assumption in character creation. (How many books have you read, where the hero is a neurologist/astronaut/drug dealer?) I wish the trackback to the original thread worked, so that people could see the context in which this thread was forked from. If I remember correctly, people were discussing all sorts of ways to "fix" multiclassing, from minor tweaks to outright banning it. I presented this houserule as a simple, low-maintenance way of curbing the proliferation of multiclassing in the game. I wasn't trying to save the world here. :) The problems with multiclassing and spellcasting are many and delicate, and probably cannot be resolved with a single houserule...at least not a simple one.
