[QUOTE="Giltonio_Santos, post: 6201259, member: 36874"] I'd like to understand why dabbling should be made easy. It's a class-based engine for a class-based game, which has been class-based since its very beginning. I know the game is yours and you should always play what you like, but there are better systems out there that work with "building blocks" instead of archetype-based characters, D&D is not one of those. Not even 4E, mighty slayer of sacred cows, made dabbling into other classes something easy, which places us at a point in history where only 3E had such a mechanic, and it was broken at some points and mediocre at others, rarely managing to be "just fair". For myself, I'd love if we return to 2E also in this subject, making multiclass and dual class different things, but neither of those treats classes as building blocks, because with the sole exception of 3E, that's not what they used to be, and they work terribly when used that way.
