[QUOTE="DJCupboard, post: 3175629, member: 21995"] That's a very creative way to overcome a trap. I would have asked for a phys check to try and climb out using the spikes as handholds. I keep trying to come up with ways to show how minmaxing would break multiclassing, but everything is so simple, it doesn't seem to happen. My only fear is a level one rogue going into any other class is better than a straight rogue, but then it's also sub-optimal compared to a straight whatever you just multied into, so I guess it's still balanced. The other thing I keep bumping into is that if its fun, what does it matter if its power-gamey; the simple rules have minimized combat to the point that that emphasis isn't really there anyway. What I like most about m20 is that, unlike standard DnD, you don't need to worry that the classes don't emulate a character concept properly; because, with the classes all being so mechanically similar, character concept is almost fully an rping destinction. As an example, you could just as easily build Drizzt Do'urden as any one of the four base classes and they would still pretty much emulate what he could do in the novels. Has anyone put together a non-pocket-mod version of an m20 adventure, I want the one I'm working on to follow a basic layout that matches what's already been "published." [/QUOTE]
