The Figher/Wizard may be happy about his Ice Storm or Charm monster or Improved Invisibility, but the Wizard will have stuff like True Seeing, Dominate Person, Several Bigby's, Prismatic Spray, Delayed Blast Fireball, Chain Lightning....... Likewise, a Fighter14 will have quite a lot more feats, one iterative attack more, and so on. You actually lose power if you multiclass.Second, In 3e you'll be Ftr 7/Wiz 7 when others have reached 14th level of their class, so you'll lag behind 7 levels. In 2e they will have level 9 or something, so you lag behind 2 or 3 levels, no more. And you have most powers of those two classes!Multiclassing has been made weaker in 3e, but it has been made more versatile, so that's OK, and it was to strong IMHO anyway. No. You have gained adventuring experience equal to Wizard 20 and Fighter 1. Your career consisted mostly of casting spells, seaking spells, learning spells. You have devoted a 1/21 of your time as a fighter. You only have 1 level worth of information on how to be a fighter. While you might be a great wizard, you're a lousy swordsman - especially compared to a Ftr 21. That Guy has slaughtered more monsters with his steel than the Knights of the round table together. He knows how to fight, he's done it uncounted times, and he's pushed his powers as a melee machine further all the time. But you have only occasionally used the sword and have devoted most of your learning time to dusty tomes and old sticks. Epic Fighter Bonus feats (or epic bonus feats for every class) are not a result of your adventuring - that's what the normal feats (and epic feats) you get every 3rd level are for. Those feats reflect your swords(or marks)manship, your skill in using weapons and melee tactics. And if you have only been training to be a fighter for about a couple of weeks, you don't know all the secrets that make up the fighter bonus feats.</blockquote>
