[QUOTE="Endur, post: 3378526, member: 3346"] People claim double-classing in AD&D was powerful, but I wonder how many of these people actually double-classed characters in a real AD&D game. Think about it. In AD&D, it could take a year to go up a few levels. Most characters retired long before 10th level. Admittedly, going up in the second class was fast. But your second class primary requisite stat had to be higher than your first class stat (first class stat 15+, second class stat 17+). How many people had their highest statistic in a secondary stat? Almost everyone I knew who built a 1st level character put their highest statistic in their primary stat -- i.e. almost no one qualified for double-classing. The exception was computer games. In the AD&D computer games, everyone double-classed all the time because you could pick your stats, you didn't have to roll, and you knew what levels the computer game would go up to. [/QUOTE]
