I assumed the worst case because its better ti get good news. But its a difficult call. Real life isn't much use - you could go both ways.
Adding a new class doesn't make it more difficult to improve something you already have learnt. The "total is equal to the sum of the parts" idea suggest that they should be see as a combination, not a sequence. One the other hand, you could say that in order to advance as in a new class, you need to focus on it (ie developing the class skills). It, of course, being some generic concept of the class as specified by the class skills etc.
Both ideas are somewhat flawed as technically, the XP spent to get the next level was accrued while in the previous level. ie a wizard picking up a level of rogue gets the rogue's skills but has not really been one yet.
Anyway, just some ramblings. Let me know when you know.

multiclassing skills
I would think if Marcus takes a fighter level next, you would get 5 ranks (2 class, 2 int, 1 race). If you wanted to spend them on, say, move silently, you could spend two ranks on that as a cross-class skill, adding essentially only one rank. If you'd maxed on that skill as a rogue(6 ranks at 3rd level), you'd have a total of 7 ranks in it, which would be 3+character level. You couldn't spend 4 of your fighter skill points on it to get it to 8 ranks.
Does that sound right?
Does anyone have another action to post before we continue to round 9?

Yeah, thats how I did it. I took Hide (2 points for +1 Rank) and MoveSilently (2 points for +1 Rank) as cross class skills, Ride as a class skill (1 point for +1 Rank). As I diversified alot initially, he has no worries about maxing out at this point.
Thanks.
PS: Ready for Round 9.

Death #1
Perhaps I should go ahead & state that Nathaniel has died. He reached -10 hps in round 8. I didn't mean to kill him per se. He was fighting very effectively in the beginning and thus became the focus of Sergius' sneak attack. From the beginning, I resolved not to spare death for the PCs. It seemed like it would make it a better game with the possibility of real death. More realistic too. I let the dice fall where they lay.
Guiltpuppy, you're certainly welcome to create another PC. He/she can start with the same experience where Nathaniel left off.

OK. So we've added a new player to take over Dhormium. The other new player will be introduced very soon. Since you all had a week in Sevastopol to practice up, you can all level up immediately. As soon as your PC sheet is in & approved you're 4th level, congratulations. I'll be emailing the experience points out here shortly.
