[QUOTE="toberane, post: 336531, member: 4968"] As far as the designers goals, I'd have to say, as I understood it, that you are sort of right and sort of not. I understood that one of the goals of the 3E multiclass system was to make a 7/7 level character equal in power to a 14 level character. The problem seems to be in the definition of the word power. The Fighter has better combat abilities. The wizard has magic use. Is one more powerful than the other? Doesn't the multiclassed characters versatility give him a power that single classed characters lack? I have played multiclassed characters since the introduction of 3E. And only on rare occasions has my fighter/rogue looked with envy at the ease with which the straight fighters hit our enemies and the damage they did with each blow. That envy usually only lasted long enough for my turn in battle, when I'd pick up a hand full of dice to roll sneak attack damage... :) Still, if you don't like the way it's written in the book, don't use it. I'm sure there will be an official ruling on this in the form of eratta when they get around to putting the eratta for the ELH out. Until then, I suppose there is no right and wrong... [/QUOTE]
