[QUOTE="BSF, post: 1229195, member: 13098"] I would disagree. Though, I liked my 1st Ed 7th Ranger/7th Druid. There were many times when he was the last person standing in some vicious combats. I cannot make him anywhere near as effectively in current versions of the game. However, I wouldn't change that. Except for that 0 + Wis Will save. That periodic hold person is going to be a real pain. I think the disparity in a multi-class build and a dedicated build are emphasized the higher level you get. Your sample build would have had spells as a dedicated Ranger or Paladin. Or, it would have had more feats, including Weapon Specialization as a Fighter. Or, an additional Rage per day as a Barbarian. Early on, missing those features might not be as apparent. But, later, you might start missing some of the advanced class features. Maybe the build is worth it? I don't know. I've never had a player try to build a real character that way. In fact, I would seriously question why somebody was playing in my game if they couldn't justify a class choice such as that. On the other hand, if they were able to weave a wonderful story, I would be happy to let them play it. I would even point out some of the flaws I will eventually try to exploit so they can consider that before making the choice. [/QUOTE]
