[QUOTE="FireLance, post: 1881353, member: 3424"] Well, I personally feel that the Mystic Theurge is just another fix to the problem of multi-classed spellcasters, because a balanced divine spellcaster/arcane spellcaster character is noticably less effective than a single-classed character of either type. Without the Mystic Theurge fix, the comparison would be between a Wiz17 and a Wiz9/Clr8, not a Wiz17 and a Wiz4/Clr3/MT10 (effectively Wiz14/Clr13). True, but some multi-classed combinations are less viable than others. This can be a bug or a feature. I recall debating this issue with someone who was [U]happy[/U] that multi-classed spellcasters were less effective because he didn't want to encourage characters of this type. My dream system would be one that allowed multi-classed characters of any combination to be roughly equal in power to each other, but that doesn't seem likely to happen at any time soon. As I don't agree with either view, I hope that none of my statements can be interpreted as supporting either perspective. ;) [/QUOTE]
