[QUOTE="Nine Hands, post: 4366308, member: 4919"] As part of an experiment, I was fiddling with the idea of allowing old school multiclassed characters. Basically, you pick two classes, take some of the class abilities of each and combine them together into a new "single" class. You pick powers from either class and progress as a normal character, with the intention that the character will split his powers mostly evenly. Armor proficiencies are the worst of both classes, weapon proficiencies are the best. Hit Points are an average (rounded down), while Healing Surges Per Day are an average (rounded up). Class features where hand picked for each class and the Bonus to Defense was an amalgamation of each classes saves without any specific ruling on my part. The design intent is to allow for dual classed characters but keep them from overshadowing a single classed character. The first thing I noticed was that two classes of the same role "felt" wrong. I could see Ranger/Rogue or Warlock/Rogue being a bit overpowering, so I skipped those. Secondly, I wanted an real old school feel for this, which I think I achieved. Any constructive feedback is greatly appreciated.
