Message: <blockquote data-quote="Purzel" data-source="post: 1100648" data-attributes="member: 11201">Okay, another attempt to explain why i am working on this houserule. I'm doing this because multiclassed spellcasters suck. They lack behind straight spellcasters way too much. Non-spellcasters on the other hand can multiclass almost freely. The figther-types gain BAB +1 each level, that's all they need. Spellcasters loose when they multiclass. Especially casterlevel and high-level spells. My attempt on a houserule tries to make spellcaster multiclassing less bad.First: i'm not hiding behind paladin. I'm making a houserule, that works good with the core-rules. I cannot try to make a houserule that fit any other houseruling.And anyways, i don't think that multiclassing paladins is as common as you might think .Second: Like i said in my first respond to your reply, a character who has a spellcaster class doesn't give it up just because he takes a different class.  There are character concepts (like the MT) that WANT to synergy different kinds of magic (i.e.: arcane and divine).I just want to make this without a prestige class (which gives a character casterlevel, but makes him loose more powerful undead turning and a better familiar). And my attempt is even more general, it works with  all spellcaster-non-spellcaster combinations too.Third: Allowing multiclassing is still a DM-decision . If he thinks, that the multiclassing of (lets says Paladin and Wizard) doesn't work, it doesn't work. I want to build a houserule that's small and easy (maybe not very realistic, but easy to play, that's the flair of most D&D rules), i don't want to add in all kinds of exceptions, when this rule applies and when not. I don't want to tell a DM that he MUST ALLOW a paladin-wizard  to gain benefits on his casterlevel.Hope you're understanding what i want to try with the houserule. And i hope that you will tell me, how to make it better.</blockquote>
