I mean, sure, you could play a Fighter to 10th level and suddenly and out of the blue decide to multiclass to wizard? From my view, the following two things are the most likely scenarios for a FIghter/Wizard multiclassStory Reason: An important event fundametally changed the character. Maybe he was visited by the Goddess of Magic in his dream, he got cursed by an evil Spellcaster or whatever else you had. The original character was probably not in any way "wizardry", but this change prompts him to take up on wizarding. Due to the fundamental nature of the change, he might get a small "head start". Build Reason: The character was always created with a Fighter/Wizard in mind. I think it's most likely under these circumstances, that the character was multiclassed early on, so circumventing the logic gap inherent to a sudden switch and boost. There are obvious some issues that can destroy this idea, like a player not at all concerned about the role-playing aspects in the first situation, or the rules making a character that multiclasses late more viable than a character that multiclassed from the beginning.There is a further thing to limit the abuse that might be built into such a system:You eventually get a 1/2 level bonus to your caster level, but the maximum bonus you get from your other classes is limited by your real caster class. I think this would probably turn out pretty fair - if you only took two levels of Wizard in addition to your level of Fighter, you didn't lose out that much "fightery" things to need that much wizardry to compensate. But if you multi class evenly, you certainly need a bit more from both classes to be effective.Tempted to come up with some explanation or reasoning, I agree it's another can of worm and decided to not open it. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
