[QUOTE="BuckyLastard, post: 6175093, member: 6749525"] After last night's session (no, the party has not been taken by the slavers yet), the fellow who plays the Sorcerer, informed me he'd like to multiclass with his eye on the Eldritch Knight. He wants to take a Barbarian level when he makes fourth level. I have no problem with this, except I prefer characters to learn their new class from someone who has the class rather than just hand it to them. (The one exception I feel is Sorcerer which could pop up anytime. I mean who really knows all the skeletons in their family closet?) Since there is no Barbarian in the party now this means he'd have to search out one to train him. I suggested that since there is a Fighter in the party, perhaps this would be an easier option. Turns out he wants the hit die, movement, and the rage ability. When I stuck to my guns about the training he became sour and left rather quickly. So what's the over-riding opinion out there for multiclassing? Give it away or make him earn it? Also I'm not clear on the ability to cast spells while raging. Seems to me that would require a roll on the concentration chart. I see at 10th level the Eldritch Knight can cast a spell if he confirms with a critical attack, would this also require a roll on the concentration chart? Seems to me that casting while striking a critical hit should be considered "extremely violent motion while casting", or am I being too hard-assed? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
