[QUOTE="ccs, post: 7203929, member: 6803664"] My own thoughts on this; Creation: 1) Use the MC stat requirements in the PHB. 2) Pick as many classes as you want, that you qualify for. 3) At 1st lv you receive the largest HD, the most favorable armor/weapon proficiencies, the highest # of skill profs, + any class required prof (ex: Thieves tools) 4) Your spell slots/lists are tracked separately,per class, & cannot be combined. Advancement: Advancing in multiple classes is slower than for single classed characters. That is how it worked in 1e/2e, that is how it should work now. [B]XP[/B] = When you receive xp you divide it by the # of classes you have. As all classes lv at an equal rate here in 5e the book keeping is nice & simple. You're MCx2 (say Ftr/Wiz) & the your total xp share is 1000? You record 500 on your sheet. Essentially it just takes you double/triple/etc the listed points to advance. Or you can dutifully track it Ftr:500xp/Wizard:500xp.... [B]Milestones[/B] = Two thoughts. 1) You only lv up every two milestones. Or three, or however many classes you've got. 2) Or, in order to "see" some progress being made, pick one class to lv up in per milestone. The next milestone reached allows you to lv up in a class that you're a lower lv in. [B]HD[/B] If you're leveling up all classes at the same time, average the total HP gained by the # of classes. If you're leveling up 1 class per milestone, again, average the total HP gained by the # of classes. Proficiency Bonus: Only increases when all of your classes are the same lv. ASIs/Feats: You only gain [B]one[/B] ASI/Feat when all of your classes are the same lv. Any other class bonuses (including sub-classes) are gained when you attain the correct lv in whatever class. I don't see any reason to disallow any class combo [I]mechanically[/I]. Multiple caster classes won't be any harder to track than they were in 1e/2e. [/QUOTE]
