[QUOTE="Michael Tree, post: 888320, member: 1455"] 1) Yes, basically. 2) No, that would clearly be unbalanced. Figuring out how to work with the different spell lists is one problem that I havn't found an adequate solution for. Some have suggested that multiclassed spellcasters only gain knowledge of the spells from each of their class levels, so a Wizard 3 / Cleric 7 would have the spells/day of an 10th level wizard, but would only know 2nd level Wizard spells and 4th level Cleric spells. I don't find this solution very satisfactory, since it doesn't solve the "non-stacking" problem. You could use the above, but say that the character has full access to the spells that appear on both classes' lists, so the above character would get access to 5th level spells that appear on both cleric and wizard spell lists, but only 2nd level spells that are unique to wizards, and 4th level spells that are unique to cleric. We could even go to the extreme of getting rid of the idea of individualized spell lists, breaking down all the spells into different categories of spells, somewhat like the 2e priest spheres. That way the categories that both casters had would stack, but the rest wouldn't stack. 3) Ummm... that's another area I havn't figured out yet. :D I suppose a multiclassed character would take the highest of the spellcasting attributes he has classes for, or perhaps use the attribute of the first spellcasting class he took levels in.
