Do you multiclass for raw mechanical power or for character reasons?

[QUOTE="MoonSong, post: 7391505, member: 6689464"] I'm not sure how you keep reading absolutes into my posts. (And if you are aware [MENTION=6775031]Saelorn[/MENTION] and me are different posters) Already said fighter is a generic warrior and not likely an IC construct. A short sword could be any sword of such size and overall characteristics. So, no? (now if you wanted to refluff a gladius or a claymore...) Somehow I'm conditioned to consider plain disregard of flavor as a sign of munchkinism, but whatevs your PC, not mine. In my mind I would still keep considering your character as Japanese in denial, that wouldn't change things, but some players can be nasty about it. No reason all druids ought to belong to the druid's society -which is setting dependent- but certainly only a druid would belong in such society. This borders on strawman. If it doesn't exist, of course you can approximate it. Though I'm not sure any game has or needs that much of a fine resolution. That's a problem with the system. And like I said not everything is -or has to be- an in game construct. Same example as with the samurai/druid before. No idea how you extrapolate my personal preferences/game style into an imperative for everybody else. If you can somehow turn a D&D wizard into an innate caster that doesn't desire her powers and views them as a curse without being constantly put out of immersion by the dissonance between flavor and mechanics and somehow convincing everybody in the party that you are not that kind of caster despite clear evidence to the contrary -or that it becomes almost active sabotage of the party by deliberately playing dumb and essentially withholding key resources form the party- then more power to you. I certainly can't, that is why I need the sorcerer -and the Divine Soul archetype while at that-. Or let me put forward an example for you. Would you honestly buy (and seriously treat as that) a high level fighter with maxed Constitution, Dexterity and Strength, two fighting styles and one of those -5/+10 feats as a weak, frail defenseless waif that is afraid of blood and faints at the mere idea of violence?
