[QUOTE="LokiDR, post: 1027750, member: 6239"] Multiclassing is a problem. An even up fighter/wizard just doesn't cut the mustard, I think we can all agree. So why don't we go to a classless system? I haven't seen that any d20 materials, has anyone else? There has to be better fix than a PrC for every multiclassing option. This would be better in all respects. Ok, so for money or just ease of access, the designers went with PrC as the multiclass fix. There are two kinds of fixes to multiclassing via PrC: the Arcane Trickster and the Eldritch Knight. One has flavor and accomplishes its job. The other is boring and accomplishes its job. Now, which belongs in the core rules? Are PrC supposed to be boring? The majority aren't. They are meant to be something to work up to and accomplish. The core rules have always been the default setting as well as rules. For all of you who want setting out the rules, I also assume you want any spell named after a person out. No organizations at all. No gods listed in the core rules. No predefined roles for any class. You just want tables and you will add what you want to that. I'm sorry, but that wouldn't be D&D. The game wouldn't be playable with the core rules. D&D already forces you to buy 3 books to most other games 1. Adding a "forced" setting book on top of that for a complete game is not a good idea. Generic D&D should have a flavor of its own, and you can rip that to shreads from there. [/QUOTE]
