[QUOTE="Dremen, post: 392243, member: 6773"] Well I didn't set the poll up very well. I should have worded it a bit differently and I tried to edit it but only mods can do that. Here is what I meant to say: Should Wizards errata out the flavor restrictions against multiclassing for Monks and Paladins and the weapon restrictions for druids. I have read from various game designers that these restrictions were put in the game at the request of some playtesters, and that these restrictions ARE NOT balance issues but "flavor" issues. (This is alot longer than the poll allows for a question). 1. Yes, I rule zero these restrictions out. 2. No I use these restrictions. 3. I don't really care 4. Other answer PrC's created simply to ease class restrictions can disrupt game balance fast. And if you other wise like the class and do not want to use a PrC then you are up the creek. The one that gets me the most is the druid restriction. It is easy to get around the monk and paladin by taking what ever levels you want before or after the main class but the druid restriction is harsh and feels very arbitrary. If a chracter spend a precious feat to learn a 'forbiden druid weapon' or gave up a level of abilities or spell casting to take a lever of say ranger or fighter to learn other weapons then this is enough of a penalty. Like i said I rule 0 this out but I feel like it should not be there in the first place. This is not in ANY way trying to make this a classless system, but removing arbitrary restrictions that serve no game balance issues. This is not letting a wizard cast in full plate without penalty this is a totally different subject. Why shouldn't my 1/2 elf Druid / Ranger be able to fight with hand axe / dagger combo and use a bow with out loosing his powers for 24 hours. I could almost see it for a cleric useing a weapon their deity hates. But many druids don't even have a deity riding their case keeping tabs on them. -D -D [/QUOTE]
