[QUOTE="ARandomGod, post: 2424128, member: 17296"] I do think that the system is interesting, but I agree in general with Andre here. The way the 3.X system is arranged you "spontaniously level". What it seems that you're trying to represent here is a gradual learning to allow multiclassing. Hence a fighter who wants to be a thief buying some ranks in hide prior to taking a level in the class. However that's directly counter to how the system was set up. I'd propose an alternative where you require players to tell you each time they level which class they're trying to get to next level, and then you slowly give them some of their abilities throughout that level... until they finally "ding", and they get the rest. Dole out perhaps 1/2 the skill points (and 1/2 the bonus feat(s)/ability(s)? You'd have to houserule what each feat is at 1/2 power...)... then give them the rest along with saves and hit points at the magic "level" amount. Of course, what (I think that) you're really trying to do here is limit the availablity and attractiveness of multiclassing. For that I'm personally in favor of a flat GM fiat ruling... "No more than X amount of classes", or the more impreial "No Multiclassing"... or perhaps a more simple "No Multiclassing without Large Amounts of Talking/Begging the GM< and at least a Minor Bribe."
