[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 6753260, member: 5834"] Yes. Usually my players plan their characters in advance, so any additional classes they plan to take are woven into the background. For example, if someone was making a sorcerer/monk, they would create an order of monks that practiced sorcery in their background. It would be assumed that they were practicing their skills as they adventured. Given the way D&D does advancement and their use of a class-based system, I believe this is sufficient explanation for multiclassing. Some do, some don't. A warlock or sorcerer could manifest power at any time. A wizard or monk might take years of training. A fighter or barbarian probably take some time, but are mostly learned through experience. Other classes it depends on how they came by their power. A cleric could be from a church that trains priests or could have received a divine calling at any point in time. You could also create a wizard background implying the individual is a genius savant who found a spellbook and was just able to figure out how to cast magic. The monk is probably the hardest to justify a reason having not much time training. And I forgot about the bard. I just don't love that class. I don't know what it is.
