[QUOTE="FireLance, post: 3843671, member: 3424"] One way that could work around the problem of the 8th level fighter taking a level in wizard and casting like a 5th level wizard is prerequisites for spells, similar to the prerequisites for maneuvers in Bo9S. For example, before you can learn spells of level X, you may need to know at least X/2 spells first. If you then cut down significantly on the number of spells you can learn when you gain a level (say, one spell per level), then a Ftr 8/Wiz 1 will only be able to learn a single 1st-level spell, even though he can cast it as a 5th-level spellcaster. Of course, I also hope that something like the psionic power scaling system will be introduced so that the single spell he knows will still be somewhat useful at high levels. In addition, since it seems likely that all classes will have at will, per encounter and per day resources, another way to deal with the multiclassing problem is to have the number of "slots" available to hold powers depend mostly on character level, while class level or caster level determines the number, type and level of powers that you have access to. So, if an 9th-level character has 4 per encounter slots and 2 per day slots, an 9th level fighter might be able to fill these with martial powers up to 9th level , a Ftr 5/Wiz 4 might be able to fill these with martial powers up to 5th level and arcane spells up to 4th level, and a Ftr 8/Wiz 1 might be able to fill these with martial powers up to 8th level and only 1st level arcane spells.
