[QUOTE="Ashrym, post: 9475416, member: 6750235"] Right, the build gets those extra attacks earlier but loses everything else later. Once the straight class has hit level 5 it's caught up on the initial extra attacks and is ahead by the extra attack feature. The multiclass catches that up a level later but by then any advantage to have gotten those attacks earlier is gone because they're available to both builds. I'd rather wait earlier when it matters less than wait for higher level abilities for a longer portion of the campaign. The same thing happens at 10 level monk when flurry attacks increase. I'd rather have that at 10th level than 11th on a splash build. At that point we're talking 1st attack, nick attack, second attack, and 3 unarmed attack from flurry of blows. Monks get a lot of attacks. The difference in splashing is 2nd level vs 4th level but then there's another discrepancy the other way at 5th level vs 6th level. [/QUOTE]
