[QUOTE="Buttercup, post: 2614943, member: 990"] In my experience as both a player and a DM, willy-nilly multiclassing does not happen much, if at all. The vast majority of players use multiclassing to create the character they have imagined rather than to power game, or if they want to power game they at least come up with an in-game reason for the PCs added classes. Actually, now that I think of it, most players will know from the very start whether or not their character concept requires multiclassing. In my campaigns, I don't typically require in-game training. However, my players tend to be pretty strict about only advancing skills or classes that they have actually used in previous sessions, unless there is some plot related reason for doing differently. Also, I've been known to award ranks in certain skills or feats in lieu of treasure. For instance, if the party saves the elderly sage from bandits, by the time they have escorted him back to safety, he has shared enough of his knowledge with them that they will each acquire a few skill points in something like Knowledge (History).
