[QUOTE="Irda Ranger, post: 3866521, member: 1003"] Actually I don't remember that. Source? But if you're correct, I would go so far as to guess ([COLOR=Red]WARNING[/COLOR]: RAMPANT SPECULATION) that there is a unified mechanic for taking "Secondary Classes." The class you take at 1st level is your Primary Class (and always remains so; it defines who you are for your whole career), and that all other classes taken later (whether normally a Core 1-20 class, or what 3E would call a Prestige Class) are "Secondary" Classes. I have no idea how that would work though. It could be a Talent Tree thing, I guess, but what are you giving up to do it? A flat-out 10th level Warlord that nonetheless has Wizard abilities simply must have given up some cool Warlordy stuff to get his magic mojo, otherwise everyone would multiclass all the time, whereas I think single-classing should be an option too. What we DO know is that "You get something every level." There are no dead levels. So, in theory, if what you're getting is balanced [I]juuuusst [/I]right, it would be an equally valid choice to give it up in favor of a multi-class ability ([I]e.g.[/I], instead of taking my 10th level Warlord ability, I'll take a 1st level Wizard ability, which functions as if I were a 5th level wizard because of my 1/2 Warlord levels). [I]Hmm[/I]. Must think more. [/QUOTE]
