[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 6102688, member: 92511"] That's cool. What you and others here are describing is not to my liking at all as well....So we're all in the same place. :) Mm. No. what you are describing is people have various skills. You can be good at all of that stuff...but ONE of them (I'm gonna guess either the computer use or the public relations) is your profession a.k.a. your Class. The rest is skills/maneuvers/feats/etc... I have no problem with that. But anyone coming to my table with this uber great super cool character they worked out who's a Monk/Ranger/Wizaard/Bard is getting a look. Possibly a laugh. And most likely a blank piece of paper to "try again." Again, mmmmmnnnope. Sounds a bit of a stretch. He's drunk a bunch of potions and now can learn magic faster than actual wizards [because he's 14th level]...This horse just won't runnin' for me. Dunno who Ken is, but for the other guy, reason 1? D&D isn't a video game. Reason 2: the fluff surrounding monks and wizards is pretty well established and one is not the same as the other. I suppose you could have some kinda "ki burst" attack that does damage equivalent to a fireball...but to say, My 14th level monk casts fireball after "taking a level in wizard" just isn't gonna work for me. Again, cleric magic vs. mage magic is well established. If they are taking their FIRST level in wizard...then no, they're not getting fireball. Uh...of course he can...He's a wizard. He finds it. He learns it. He casts it. It's what wizards do...not monks, not rangers, not fighters...no matter what levels they are in those classes. Your 14th level monk or fighter can too! When they get to 5th level wizard and can use 3rd level spells. However long it takes to accumulate the XP needed for them to be a 5th level caster. [/QUOTE]
