[QUOTE="airwalkrr, post: 2912784, member: 12460"] Expounding on this idea a little more, a Ftr10/Wiz10 would functionally be a 15th-level character. He would not be as good of a fighter as a Ftr15 obviously, but 10d10 hp and a BAB of +10 is better than what a Wiz15 would have. Plus, he would be benefitting from the higher of his saves in the two classes. So his saving throws would be +7/+3/+7 as opposed to the Ftr15 who has +9/+5/+5 and the Wiz15 who has +5/+5/+9. Overall his saving throws are worse, but that is because he has neglected to specialize in one and neither Fort nor Will is as much of a weakness, although Ref certainly is. Also, some exceptions would have to be made to the class type rule (or maybe not). If a paladin becomes neutral good and stops leveling as a paladin, it would probably be acceptable to allow him to level as a fighter, either stacking his fighter levels on top of his paladin levels as per current 3e multiclass rules, or making them unassociated levels until his fighter levels catch up to his paladin levels. A Pal10 who falls, would hence be a 15th level character (Ftr10/Pal10) before progressing in HD again. Rather brutal in a way since all he is really retaining is his paladin skill points so probably not the best way to go. At any rate, some mechanic would need to allow for classes that don't let you go back to continue filling the same role if the character so desires. [/QUOTE]
