You shouldn't be able to get better then a single-classed character at what they do when you multiclass.I think that the problem first of all needs to be analyzed. The problem is in my opinion that some classes are only used in multiclassed builds (think fighter) and some are nearly worthless to multiclass, unless sometimes only dipping (think monk and full casters). While this can be explained with wizardry requireing full concentration over the years, it's a quite boring way of doing it.I think only some of the base classes has problems with multiclassing:Fighter (and Paladin to my experience): Nearly only used for multiclassing or dipping.Full casters and monk: Never multiclasses unless with PRC.This is due to fighters gaining power linear while casters gaining power exponentially. Most classes are somewhere in between, having some linear features but getting extra nice stuff eventually.The problem with fighters is easily solved by using the PF favored class variant - a race's favored class gives +1 hp or +1 skill point at every level.The problem with the others really only need to be addressed as problems of those classes. The monk is generally underpowered in every way, so there's some room for making it more powerful. The full casters are generally considered the universally best classes (except possibly from the sorcerer), so there you have to be much more discrete in the changes.For the monk, I would propose a feat something like this:Broad TrainingPrerequisites: Monk level 5, Wis 13+Benefit: You may add half of all levels in other base classes to your Monk level to determine monk class features and unarmed damage. You may add no more levels through this than your monk level.This would limit it a bit so you don't see Fighter 15/Monk 1 that has the abilities of an 8th-level monk, but you can still multiclass as long as you more than dip into the class.For spellcasters I'm not really sure what to do, since they've got enough power instead. Maybe you could change Practiced Spellcaster to instead let you cast spells as though you were three levels higher, up to your character level. Extra spells and so on. And of course only let a character take it once. Having a Wizard 5/Rogue 5 might suck right now except for RP reasons, but if that 10th level character could cast 4th-level spells it might be decent.Or, if you go with slower caster progression as some do here due to casters being to powerful, it might solve itself.</blockquote>
