Since we don't have any reasonable consensus as to whether even single-class characters are balanced, I'm not holding my breath for something approaching a metric.No question it's relevant. I'm just not sure it could ever be appropriate or balanced or whatever we're aiming for in an alternate multi-class scheme.

"Throw stuff at a wall and see what sticks" seems to be as good an approach as any.
