[QUOTE="trancejeremy, post: 5797791, member: 924"] I think there needs to be both multi-classing, where someone does two roles at once (though perhaps not as well as either as a single class) and dual classing, where someone gives up his old class to start a new ones, but still remembers what he learned in the old class. 1e/2e did this pretty well, because levels weren't nearly as discrete as they are in 3e (and apparently 4e). A multl-class character could do more, but he'd be 1-2 levels behind a single class character. They could still easily adventure in the same party as their higher level companions. I disagree - 3e multiclassing was really like dual classing of past editions - a character would only improve in one class at a time, rather than get better at both, and because it was split (usually) characters could end up very weak, as they would never reach the peak of either class.
