Message: <blockquote data-quote="Pax" data-source="post: 1045129" data-attributes="member: 6875">But the two should be comparable in utility and power overall -- which is not true with spellcasting classes.The parallel would be, if BAB didn't stack.  At all.  Then your Fighter(4)/Barbarian(11)/Rogue(5) woudl only have a +11 BAB ... and would feel roughly the same sting from multiclassing as spellcasters do: their primary role in a party would be SIGNIFICANTLY HURT by the act of multiclassing, or havign a high-ECL/HD base race, and so on.  You're grossly misstating affairs.  When you complete all 6 years of medical school (etc), you are a first-level Doctor.  And actually, "doctor" would be a Prestige Class most easily qualified for by people with the "Med-Tech" base class, who qualify by taking the Medical Traning, University Degree, and Advanced Medical Training feats, along with some 10-15 ranks in Heal, and varying numbersof ranks in Knowledge(Anatomy), Knowledge(Biochemistry), and so on.  Lawyer, OTOH, would be a base class IMO (you don't have to graduate law school to be a lawyer, at least not in the US ... you just have to pass the qualifying exams).So, and I mean no offense by this, but ... I'll just have to disregard your sarcastic "comparison" as a case of apples-and-oranges.What justification is there not to allow spellcasters to also follow the "anything goes, X level is X powerful no matter what classes you pick up on the way there" fundamental principle behind all of Third Edition ... ?</blockquote>
