Message: <blockquote data-quote="KarinsDad" data-source="post: 2694548" data-attributes="member: 2011">I was thinking about this last night and the thought occurred to me:Why would a DM disallow this class?It did not make any sense to me.Game Flavor? That seems like an attempt at rationalization of a decision after the fact, not a real reason.Balance? Well, as has been illustrated, it is pretty easy to see that balance is not an issue.It's obvious that the DM is not too worried about what the player would consider a fun character to play. The player's desire and idea of fun here does not seem pertinent to the decision.The only conclusion I could come up with is that the group has a Cleric already and if that Cleric does not maintain his levels in Cleric and switches over to Wizard, that will significantly decrease the amount of relative healing that PC can do. Hence, it will put a damper on what the rest of the group can do if they cannot rely on a full Cleric level of healing at every level.In other words: That's your job. Don't rock the boat, just do your job.Or at least, this is a thought that had occurred to me. It could even be subconscious that a DM would not want a Cleric who would multiclass, but it is the only solid reason I can think of outside of "I don't like it" (which does occur, we have dislikes for no real rational reason).Can anyone else think of any other real substantial reasons for such a decision?</blockquote>
