[QUOTE="Tovec, post: 6186928, member: 95493"] Well, it is more that someone told him about it and he suddenly caught up. No surprise really. Sad, but not surprising. I found myself answering "Yes?" because it was my guess for who you were talking to.. which was not me. Thus "yes?" as I was not sure but took a guess. As far as why I would argue yes (and I guess why I was arguing for entitlement) followed. Did you read it? You aren't responding to anything I wrote so I would assume you didn't and somehow only took exception with the first word (and not the punctuation) of my reply. How old I am has nothing to do with my playstyle, ability, or maturity. It should have no relevence on the conversation we are having here. What is more, it is rather rude to ask someone that without reason - especially without giving your own age first :P And, as far as entitlement goes, "choice" is a better word to use. Again, to back and read my first reply - the whole thing this time - that would help you figure out how incompatible our world views are. Rather, as it is right now, this is not a debate as it is you merely conceding without having stating you dislike "entitlement." As it happens, I do actually kind of agree about the proficiency argument you seem to be having (not related to "entitlement"). Isn't level dipping the point of multiclassing sometimes? Being stronger is the point many times, if you are multiclassing you should end up being stronger in the end, not equally strong. Makes sense to me. Just have to make sure you are giving something up in exchange and that it isn't a necessity. Ie. 3.5 first level rogue has 4x(8+int) skills, nice selection of class skills too. Second level (any other class) has maximum 6+int - that's a near necessity. Armor proficiency that you can get with simple racial + feat isn't huge IMHO. A. My objection was with "mechanically gimped" but I think that may have had to do more with your phrasing rather than the endpoint you were trying to make. B. What can't we use 3.5 material in PF?
