You could focus completely on one, or spread the foci around. The more foci on a specific class base, the more initial goodies you start off with toward that specific base:I have two ideas:1) Focus combos2 Fighter + 1 Rogue + 1 Cleric = Ranger2 Fighter + 2 Cleric = Paladin2 Fighter + 1 Wizard + 1 Cleric = Monk3 Fighter + 1 Rogue = Barbarian2 Cleric + 2 Wizard = Druid3 Rogue + 1 Wizard = Bard3 Wizard + 1 Rogue = Sorcerer(for one example, other combos can spawn other classes or some of the same classes, or foci can be applied using method 2.)2) From the Ground UpEx: Without foci, you have a d4 hit die, no weapon proficiencies, no armor proficiencies, no good saves, no AC progression, and 1/2 base attack bonus.Hit Dice have 4 progressions (4->6, 8, 10, 12Weapon proficiencies have 2 progressions (Simple, Martial)Armor proficiencies have 3 progressions (Light, Medium, Heavy)Shields have 2 progressions (Normal,Tower)Saves have 1 progression (6->12)BABs have 3 progressions: (1/2->3/4, full)Spell limits have 3 progressions (4th, 6th, 9th)Skill growth has 3 progressions (2->4, 6, 8)Fighter 1: HD+, Weapon+, Armor+, BAB+, Fighter Class skills2: HD+, Weapon+, Armor+, Shield+3: HD+, Armor+, BAB+, Fort+4: HD+, Shield+, Bonus FeatsRogue1:  Ref+, Skill+, Weapon+, Rogue Class skills2: HD+,Skill+, Armor+, Rogue-specific weapons3: Trapfinding, Skill+, BAB+4: Rogue bonus goodies,Sneak attackCleric1: Light Armor, Level 4 divine spell cap, half caster level, Turn undead partial, Cleric class skills2: Simple Weapons, HD+, Medium Armor, Level 6 divine spell cap, Will+3: HD+, Turn undead full, BAB+, full caster level4: Heavy Armor, Shield+, Level 9 divine spell cap, Fort+Wizard:1: Level 4 arcane spell cap, Partial caster level, Wizard class skills2: Level 6 arcane spell cap, Will+, Wizard-specific weapons3: Full Caster level, Familiar4: Wizard bonus feats,Level 9 arcane spell cap, Scribe ScrollI wonder what you think, Zara? 4 Class seeds, and the players build the class using foci, using either method.Unique class features of non-seed classes will be available via other methods.</blockquote>
