[QUOTE="Fanaelialae, post: 7011657, member: 53980"] That is correct. I'd call it a positive result, but not the driving influence. A 20th level C10/W10 can only cast 5th level spells but has 9th level spell slots. At equivalent xp to a 20th level character, a C15/W15 2e-multi can cast 8th level spells and has an 8th level spell slot. To me, that's at least somewhat equivalent. If I were to give the 2e-multi double the number of spell slots, he would be flat out better than the C10/W10, and arguably superior to any 20th level single-classed caster as well. I didn't want to make the 2e-multi's more powerful than single-classed characters, hence I felt that giving them the same number of spell slots as a single classed character was the right call. The fact that it makes the F/W (or similar) the best option is simply a bonus, since I feel that currently (assuming an even split of levels rather than cherry picking) combining a non-caster with a caster using PHB-multiclassing falls on the very low end of the power spectrum. Certainly not useless, but at that point where you need to play cleverly to remain competitive with single-classed PCs. [/QUOTE]
