[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 4439108, member: 19675"] Yes, but to me, that is a failure not of multiclassing but class and spell structure. No, I don't think so. I just reviewed that thread and couldn't find any instance of me saying "I never built a MT PC" in any form. The closest I came was: Which is absolutely true. I've updated the PC for 3.5Ed, but have not as yet been able to play him- that campaign has been on hiatus for a few years, and even if it hadn't, I run multiple PCs within it, so he doesn't get used with every story arc. Again, incorrect. I chose to make the PC a MT because to do otherwise would have required a massive rewrite of campaign history- the conversion from 1Ed/2Ed wasn't seamless, and difficult decisions had to be made. The PC in question had 45 class levels distributed between his various classes. To convert the PC 100% would have involved using the Epic Rules which 1) suck and 2) weren't printed yet. So to avoid that kind of mess, we placed a campaign level cap of 20 levels (since reworked a bit higher for 3.5). Instead of giving up his ability to cast the spells that saved the party's bacon more than once, I sacrificed 15 levels of Ranger. He had always been one of the party's top 3 casters, but he was seldom a major force on the front line. So the PC lost a lot in translation- durability, combat prowess, skills, spells, feats & followers to name a bit of it- but the party maintained most of its historical continuity. And of all the multiclassed spellcasters I have converted, that is the ONLY one who is a MT. [/QUOTE]
