Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mike Sullivan" data-source="post: 816282" data-attributes="member: 9824">Yeah, agreed.  But it's a clumsy fix.  Okay, great, so now we can usefully multiclass Wizards or Sorcerers and Clerics (in a single, rather direct way -- if you try to get an assymetric Wizard/Cleric blend, like you could, with, say, a Fighter 7/Thief 3, you're right back to your starting point).  Now, how about Wizard/Druids?  Or, for that matter, Sorcerer/Barbarians or Wizard/Rogues?  Assuming, for the moment, that we find those to be acceptable concepts (and I find them more compelling than Wizard/Clerics, really), do we now have to create a PrC for each one?Whee!  We can have a half-assed solution to the problem of multiclassed spellcasters for the mere price of adding about 5 PrC's to the game (Arcane/Fighter-type, Arcane/Rogue-type, Arcane/Divine, Divine/Fighter-type, Divine/Rogue-type).The solution to the problem (which WotC seems to be implicitely admitting exists) is to find a way to have spellcaster abilities usefully-but-not-overpoweringly stack when you're adding levels of a non-spellcasting class.  The MT isn't flavourful enough to be a real PrC, and a PrC isn't a good mechanic to add because two classes ought to (in some campaigns) usefully multiclass, but don't by the rules.</blockquote>
