[QUOTE="Humanaut, post: 4688597, member: 49498"] I too remember multi-classed PCs being about 2-3 levels behind. Which is OK in my book since you have the extras of other classes. If they get 5 HD behind, their HP may just get them munched. Which I'd hope to avoid as something inevitable for them. As for why, well, there is a certain FEEL about the old multiclass system that really made you feel multi-classed and useful, rather than what you get with 3.5. If you have an 8th level party, the choice for multi-class now gives you a 4/4 fairly crippled PC (IMHO) if it's a spellcaster. The old way would net you something like 6/6 and while behind, you still had some good resources to bring to the group. I'd be using old multi-class options for the demi-humans. Yet you don't want it SO good that it's a no-brainer and everybody multi-classes... so... probably some form of level limits. In my old games i bumped all demi-human level limits by 4. That seemed to work fine for our group. I like the idea about keeping the favored class unlimited for each demi-human. Again, we've never breached 15th level, usually somewhere between 12-15 we collectively go "Meh" and start a new game. After the time they get land and "settle down" we move on and they become famous NPCs the new PC's may meet. This weekend I may crunch some more numbers and see if my main concern (eventual HP lag) can be worked out some way. We game Sunday, so I might not have the time. But... the PCs are in the 10-11th level range... Thanks everyone for the input! [/QUOTE]
