[QUOTE="Drakron, post: 882876, member: 10830"] Is still Sage "Advice". It only holds as official in some places (Living City) and we are free to ignore Skip. As for Savage Species ... Well it gives two systems, the "creature progression" can be used for several things with one being the players having the choice of playing a powerful monster at a lower level and gain that monster abilities as they gain levels and other is DMs to use then "toned down" at the appropriate level. Multiclassing is easier but remenber that a lv20 fighter is a lot more powerful that a lv10 fighter/lv 10 wizard. There are some advantages in multiclassing but in many cases (expecialy in the case of spellcasters) there is no advantage in multiclassing. After all a lv4 fighter/lv16 sorceror just traded some of his more powerful spells for the ability to use weapons better, his BAB may be higher that a lv20 sorceror and have more feats but what is the point? Unless he is a smart player that will use the spells and meta-magic feats to his advantage he cannot stand in battle for long and both the lv 20 fighter and the lv 20 sorceror are better that him in some roles. The sames goes to PtC, many have hard requirements and as such its hard to find someone that qualifies for several PtC at trhe same time and the PtC that are have 10 levels only give the best of the class abilities at their higher levels there is a incentive to stay in the class instead of going into another class to gain a buch of low level abilities that are likely to be useless against the adverage creatures he sould be finding at his level. Also there sould be no "need" to stay, d20 give the freedom to create a character as we like him to be ... instead of having the class he selected descriving the character that happened in 2nd ed we now how have the character descriving the class(es). However there are limitations, Paladins does not allow easy multiclassing and neither does the Monk class so being a "paladin" or a "monk" is still (in a way) the class descriving the character but we can have a ex-rogue that became a paladin.
