[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 3264273, member: 22779"] Let's see, in my current WLD game, which is the highest level game I've DM'd in a long time, I've got: Orc Barbarian 14 Kobold Bard 14 (forget race +1 LA) Fighter 11 Halfling Monk 5/Paladin 5/ Pious Templar 4 (easily the least effective character in the group - although excellent mage killer) Human Evoker 11 Changeling Rogue/Cleric/Chameleon (new charry just introduced). So, about half the party is single classed. And, hands down, single classed characters are more effective. The existence of numerous PrC's like Mystic Theurge and others show that. If you could have an effective multiclassed caster, there would be no need for these PrC's. I see the addition of Substitution Levels as one of the best innovations in the game in a long time. Now you can switch out some abilities for ones that actually fit with your character without taking levels in classes that screw you over later. [/QUOTE]
