[QUOTE="iamntbatman, post: 7237896, member: 6907623"] Well sure, I'd find some way for it to make sense RP-wise. I really don't like level dipping when it doesn't really make any narrative sense to do so. As I said there is one more player of an undecided class - right now he's thinking some sort of cleric, possibly the Grave Domain UA cleric.
