Is your group multiclassing?

[Valiantheart]

Lots of multiclassing in my games. We banned the hell out of all those broken PrCs though. It wierd how character creation/playing can seem so much more interesting when you characters entire life span isnt geared in an effort to become an Arcane Archer or Archmage.

Depends on the campaign

In arwink's Mega-module game, I believe two of the five characters are multi-classed. One Ranger/Rogue and one Fighter/Barbarian. The others are a single-classed Wizard, Cleric and Monk.

In arwink's Copperheads game, I believe that only one of the five PCs is currently multiclassed: a Monk/Rogue. We also have a Psychic Warrior, a Wizard, a Cleric and a Psion.

In my CotRE game, we have lots of people, so I won't go into specifics, but the level of multi-classing is higher. Six of the 12 currently active players have already multi-classed, and at least to of the others plan to do so.

In the In Hextor's Name campaign, I think we currently have one out of six players who is multi-classed, but I am not certain on two of the others. The remaining three are definitely single classed, at the moment.

Let's see if I can remember...

Within a level or two:

Cleric 16 (never died, read a Book of Exalted Deeds right after hitting level 14, so he's a bit ahead)
Rogue 15
Sorcerer 14 (joined late, may have died once)
homebrew wizard variant 12 / nonstandard racial class 2 (died twice, will retire character if she buys it again)
Rogue 2 / Fighter 2 / Paladin 3 / homebrew PrC 8
Fighter 8 / Ranger 7

BTW most of these were played up from much lower levels than this, but only two of them were played right from first level. Interestingly the cleric isn't one of them.

The other two games in which I am currently involved, however, have only one multiclassed character out of thirteen active PCs, and considering it's a Sorcerer 1 / Bard 1 who took the Sorcerer level first it's hardly a power grab.

My PC is a 1/2 elf bard/sorcerer .

Mainly for flavor and backstory, but also because of the bard inspire confidence and healing spells.

Sorcerer because I wanted a familiar, and the spells that came with it.

Both fit perfectly into my PCs background.

Hence, My PC is a 1/2 elf bard/sorcerer

The party I DM has a Monk/Paladin, a Monk/Ranger, a Wizard and a Fighter. Our new player is thinking of coming in as a Cleric/Wizard, which would be interesting.

[ForceUser]

In our longest-running campaign, we've got:

6 Cleric/6 Radiant Servant of Pelor
1 Ranger/2 Barbarian/4 Fighter/5 Weapon Master
10 Psion (Telepath)/2 Rogue
4 Fighter/6 Wizard/2 Spellsword
12 Druid
12 Sorceress
10 Paladin

So I put down 50%. Some classes, such as the rogue, beg to be multiclassed, others such as the druid, beg not to be.

 

[Balgus]

Straight Dwarven fighter,Human Cleric, Human Rogue, Human monk, Elven ranger (and he thinks it's the best damn class out there), Human Wizard.

Nobody has seen the need to MC yet, but the wiz, rngr, clr are planning on PrC when possible. The rogue might, but still keeping his options open.

I screwed up

I forgot the Sorc in my main group is a Sorc 5 / Elemental Savant (Air) 10. (He gained his 15th level last session). He met the prerequisites via the Cosmopolitan feat, in case anyone's wondering. So I should have voted in the next higher category.

 

[ThoughtBubble]

I voted 50%, though it's actually closer to 25%. We've got a Figter rouge in game one, and I'm thinking about taking some levels of ranger for my bard. We've got a fighter about to take a prestige class in another alongside a sorcerer who's thinking of taking a level or two in barbarian.

Why? The Fighter/Rogue is a conversion of a 2nd edition character (a scout with a passion for fighting). The Bard/Ranger is supposed to be a well traveled noble (wanted to be a smooth displaced aristrocrat) who spent time hunting as a child. The fighter devoted himself to be the champion of a specific cause, and the sorcerer almost dies a lot, and is considering some toughness and weapons training (having a sum total of -2 to hit with unfamiliar weapons and a tendancy to try daring rescues with dropped weapons doesn't work so well).

Mostly, it's an attempt to make the characters on paper fit the way we want them to behave inour minds.

Of course, when I DM, I just seem to have all sorts of multiclassed NPC's around. = ) Like the Ranger/Sorcerer the party just killed, or his brother the Ranger/Rogue or the Fighter/Cleric that's they're about to meet...

In the campaing I´m DMing all of my players multiclass, and actually I encourage them. They like to play characters that fit their concept, but they don´t know the rules well, so I point them to multiclass options and prestige classes that would fit them.
