[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 8639780, member: 2629"] I'm in the camp that does not wait. If your build doesn't make sense throughout the entire life of the character, it shouldn't be played. We're not building abilities, we're building characters. However, there are few builds that don't make sense throughout. You just need to make sure the PC's story aligns to the features. I play something that looks like a monstrosity of multiclassing: Glasya Tiefling Courtier Gloom Stalker 5, Cleric of Order 1, Divine Soul 5, Assassin 3, Battlemaster 3, Divine Soul 3 more. She began as a bodyguard to a Tiefling negotiator that was tasked with dealing with the Underdark neighbors. That diplomat was slain, and she was expelled, forcing her to become a hunter / adventurer. She bought the company line that Asmodeus was the savior of all - as it is his leadership that prevents Demons from winning the Blood War - and Asmodeus does whatever is allowed, without ever breaking his word, to fight that war. As she progressed in power she embrces her dedication deeper - becoming a divine warrior of Asmodeus (Cleric of Order and Divine Soul). As she hit mid-levels she progressed further from her diplomatic side and more into her hunter side, so she enhanced her hunting/archery skills and focused on meting out the 'Justice' of Asmodeus. So, all of it is in service of the character concept: A (Un)Holy Hunter for Asmodeus. The evolution made sense for the story being told. [/QUOTE]
