[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5799485, member: 19675"] You misunderstand me- "irreducibly bundled" would refer to a class' initial entry point...for many classes, a gateway for abilities that are not available any othe way. I can't say I agree with that as a bald assertion. I see that PC as having taken some time to actively train, or having been forced to learn how to fight due to the circumstances of his life...but it wasn't his calling. That is an extremely inefficient and slow way to do it, and it wont do jack for your actual basic fighting ability (your BAB, which is not improbable via Feats), but if you wanted to do so, there is absolutely nothing that prevents you from doing so. As a whole, a PC without a warrior's BAB & fighting related feats picked up every 4 levels, would show that whatever martial training he got was sporadic and/or poorly learned. (And he'd probably look pretty odd from the standpoint of his other class as well.) I'd say that if that is your ONLY reason for starting as a Rogue, then you're right. Class- and multiclassing- should be based on and driven by a core concept. [/QUOTE]
