[QUOTE="JDRay, post: 93028, member: 2344"] If memory serves (it often doesn't), the penalty grows as the difference in experience between two classes, and I think it's 10% per level. I think it's intended to keep people from being "one-level wonders," wherein they take a level in Ranger, take the Two Weapon Fighting and Ambidexterity feats for free, then switch to Fighter for the rest of their career. When the split gets to Ranger 1/Fighter 11, the character can't accumulate any more experience points at all: (11-1)*10%=100% penalty. Do I have that right? Personally, I like the idea of a feat that allows you to add a favored class. I thought there was one in the NetBook of Feats like it, but don't know for sure. At the same time, I'd make it so you could take the feat a maximum number of times equal to your INT modifier. That keeps Fytor (Str 20, Int 6) from saying, "I know I'm dumb as a stump, but I want to learn many professions." [/QUOTE]
