[QUOTE="Savevsdeath, post: 6753275, member: 73230"] I see no point in preventing a multiclass combo because 1.

Even if they are doing it just to get a cool mechanical combo, i'm fine with that if they're having fun with it, and any broken shenanigans can be easily dealt with via a simple 'nope'. 3.
