[QUOTE="The Souljourner, post: 794825, member: 1622"] I'm sorry to hear that, Thresher. The problem is that dual- and multiclassing in 2nd edition were horribly broken. Let me guess, you started off as a fighter, then dual classed to Wizard, right? The problem with that is that those 5 levels of fighter took only a few thousand XP away from your total character. Let me make another guess, before you switched over to 3e, the single classed people in your party were no more than 1 level above your wizard level, right? Maybe 2 at most? You got 5 levels of fighter for the price of maybe one level of wizard. In 3e, you can't do the same thing. Taking 5 levels of fighter takes away 5 levels of your wizard class. So yes, dual and multiclassed characters switching over to 3e do kind of get screwed. The problem is that they were way over powered before, and now multiclassing wizards or sorcerers is just a really bad option. You should try to talk to your DM to do something about the fact that your character, which was very viable in 2e is not really viable in 3e. I'm sure he/she would be understanding enough to let you do a little (doesn't have to be a lot) of revision. -The Souljourner [/QUOTE]
