[QUOTE="Benben, post: 541453, member: 110"] Every class gets a certain amount of abilities distributed over levels. A front loaded class is one that gets all of its abilities at the lower (sometimes first) levels. This neatly removes any real benefit with continuing with the class. Mages, Clerics, and Druids are the opposite since spell progression pushes them towards keeping a single class until they get 9th level spells. Rogues could be viewed as front loaded, especially as a choice for a first level character with the wealth of skill points they get. However, gaining evasion, uncanny dodge, and sneak attack progression gives a good reason to continue with the class. I've seen monks argued as front loaded since it's a quick way to get an AC boost and improved unarmed strike, but the class really supports single classed characters by giving a scooby snack at nearly every level.
