For instance, the rogue doesn't need this rule since skillpoints are already following it,  and multiclassing in a spellcasting class already has its drawback.In my (limited) experience, problems arise when multiclassing from non-spellcasting to another non-spellcasting class.If you were to divide the class abilities into feats, a Fighter taking a level in Barbarian would probably take "rage" and not the armor feats. That would probably work for the monk though, but I don't use monks <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=":)" />My main gripe about the "favoured class" system is that it doesn't favor the class, and thus it fails to enforce some stereotypes. I'd go for the bonus XP option , but it's hard to balance. IIRC, I had proposed something along the lines of: giving 100 xp/prefered class level reached, only usable on future prefered class level.Th main disadvantage of this solution is that you have to keep track of 2 kinds of XP.Chacal</blockquote>
