[QUOTE="Vrecknidj, post: 1648234, member: 7301"] [B]How long did you have to play to get 10 additional levels? (After the DM allowed his friend to blatantly cheat to steal from the group, I quit a very stingy game where I had 6 character levels after two years.)[/B] I've played in that campaign since about 1987, this particular group of characters started in the early 90's. I've retired three characters, and this, my fourth, started at 9th level. The other players and I have played together the entire time. So, I know what you mean about slow advancement (12 levels, average, per character, in about 10 years). [B]It's good to see another fan of the Expert class (and I understand why you took the Aristocrat class, I think), but in my experience, multiclassing cripples a spellcaster.[/B] In this particular campaign, arcane spellcasting is against the law. It's a very low magic world, and I play the only spellcaster PC. I took the other classes out of necessity so this character has a legitimate way of blending into the world. [B]I'm assuming your DM doesn't give you multi-classing XP penalties for NPC classes? [/B] My character has no xp penalty. Since she's human, her wizard levels don't count, and the other two classes are 1 level apart. She'll probably only take wizard levels for the rest of her life as a character. Dave [/QUOTE]
