[QUOTE="JonnyP71, post: 7465109, member: 6788862"] Those classic roles - the magical Elven swordsman, the stealthy little Halfling who's quite handy with a shortsword,... they are fine, and I like to see those portrayed in 1E/2E - the Basic D&D Elf and Halfling are essentially along those lines by default! I might be a little more welcoming to 5E multiclassing too if everything was chosen at character creation, and thus affected the whole adventuring career - your example of a Fighter/Wizard - the player would announce that when initially creating the PC, and then would take alternate levels in each class 1/-, 1/1, 2/1, 2/2 etc... I'd have no problem with that method. I'd allow a maximum of 3 classes using the core 4 (Fighter, Wizard, Cleric, Thief), or 2 classes using any others, and some combinations really don't work in my head, so I wouldn't allow those, eg most classes with Paladin!! It those limitations were the norm then it wouldn't make me so grumpy. Instead we get Paladin/Warlocks and other such nonsense, along with all those portmanteau names - Bardbarian, Sorlock, Sorcadin blah blah go away. Damn I'm an old grognard ;) [/QUOTE]
