[QUOTE="Kobold Avenger, post: 6017664, member: 779"] I think they've made it clear there's a difference between spells of a certain level and spells that use the spell slot of a higher level. It has been mentioned a few times, though its never been elaborated on. After all they've mentioned so many times how Fireball is fixed at 5d6 damage as strictly a 3rd level spell, but could do more if it used a higher level spell slot. It seems that it's probable that a multiclass character with a couple levels in Wizard could prepare a spell as a 2nd level spell or higher, but couldn't actually select spells that are higher than 1st level off of the Wizard spell list. All they could do is just use those 1st level spells augmented to a higher level. Maybe the 13th level fighter/ 2nd wizard has a super Grease spell that covers 60' by 60' square, which is impressive for someone who's dabbled into magic a bit, but in the end it's just a Grease spell. In comparison the single class Wizards can use other things like Web, or Evard's Black Tentacles, or Wall of Stone instead, but generally wouldn't bother with Grease even if it covered such as huge area. Also the Wizard that dabbled a bit into Fighter might be able to do a Deadly Strike with 2d8 extra damage. But the single class fighter of the same character has a lot more deadly tricks than just Deadly Strike, and possibly has abilities that allow them to combine some maneuvers for free expertise dice, making that extra 2d8 look completely amateur.
