So, yeah, I would say that something should be done to compensate, however minimal.  I _would_ suggest a one-time bonus X number of skill points at level 1 or something (since the idea here is the races flexibility and adaptobility) but that seems overkill since they already get that.  How about the compesation is to allow a non-exclusive class skill to forever be treated as a class skill.  of course, this becomes trite and tiresome when players might flock to spot, listen, and search for their "chosen skill" - Overkill always bores an issue <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />I am not sure who it was, but I do vaguely recall someone in the House Rules section was once discussing the possibility of doing away with Multiclassing XP penalaties for non-multiclass and instead offering XP bonuses to those who stayed within the favored class...  I am not sure I like that (nor can I visualize it being played out in effect), but, again, just mentioning options I heard kicked around.Will think about it some more and post again if I come up with anything useful <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=":)" /></blockquote>
