[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 8134482, member: 7006"] If people had been willing to do that, the subclasses would never have been made. But people aren't. They want new and different and specific stuff and WotC is usually willing to give a certain amount of it. Your question is no different than the person who asks why WotC bothered to keep the paladin class when people could just play a cleric/fighter multiclass. And the answer of course is that if people actually [I]did[/I] that and were happy with it, WotC wouldn't have. But no one ever actually does it. Because the irony of that request is that if we were to ask the person who complains there is the paladin or ranger class (when one could easily just make them using cleric/fighters or a rogue specialized in wilderness stuff) if they just use the Basic Rules... they 99% of the time would say 'no'. So they themselves [I]could[/I] play D&D 5E with cleric/fighter multiclasses and wilderness-built rogues like they supposedly want, but they never actually do. Which makes their whole set of complaints so easy to just ignore because they don't walk the walk while they talk the talk. [/QUOTE]
