At the moment what I understand from comments (and guesses on this board) makes me skeptical.It's still fun to speculate about possibilities even if I don't think I'll like themes. <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=":)" />Take the idea that races "might" level and combine it a goal to enable 1e/2e style play. You might be able to have:Fighter/Magic-user/ThiefFighter/Magic-user/ClericIf the power level of race, class, and theme were equivalent contributors to your character then, perhaps, someone who wanted to multi-class like a Half-Elf could drop their racial and theme benefits in exchange for extra named classes.Alternatively, if every class had a full primary progression and a secondary progression. You could balance the power level / contribution such that the power of race = theme = secondary class progression. A character would still have a primary class but they could have up to two secondary classes which would also make Fighter/Magic-user/Thief possible.Random ideas that may, or may not, work within the structure of D&D Next.</blockquote>
