[QUOTE="LokiDR, post: 1089482, member: 6239"] If you did not have the multiclassing combination you do, would you think your character would be as effective? It just strikes me as odd that off your horse, you lose almost half of your abilites. Not appealing to everyone aside, do you think the character is viable in any sort of campaign where you might be in a dungeon for a long (a few sessions) period of time? It is a matter of campaign, but I think the living campaigns expect more variety in play style than a home campaign and the living games are less linked to each other. I said the living games encourage min-maxing and that you have made a tradeoff I would not. This is much different than saying you are powergaming but your character sucks. The living games are a different case in the matter of a campaign as you will rarely see a single large dungeon because of the limited time for each session. A home campaign doesn't have that problem. Would you accept multiple sessions away from your horse then 1 or two where you are always mounted? This probably not happen in living games (unless you get some very unfortunate picks for modules) but I would say is common in many, if not most, home games. Could you accept being a backup character for multiple sessions rather than just a more than half of a single module? I'm not against LG, or any of the other living games, but I think they have a style all their own which differs from a lot of home games. I'll accept that mounted combat would be a good choice for living games, what about the rest of the games? [/QUOTE]
