[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 6173614, member: 92511"] Did I mention anything that said [I]anything[/I] about multi-classing? What sh/would be allowed or not allowed? Is any concern or comment about multi-classing rules in my post? Was I saying anything about multi-classing...at all? Besides the fact that I see no reason anyone would want those combinations named in the post (though I suppose a warlock/wizard isn't so weird...I could see wanting a psion/wizard or psion/anything), redundant multi-classing is redundant. But be that as it may, why [I]wouldn't[/I] you be allowed, if you so wanted, to mix and match the classes I listed however you want based on what I posted? First comment, immediately, "this is wrongbad." Perhaps it wasn't intended as such, but it reads to me as a so much foot stamping and gnashing of teeth...about nothing I posted/was talking about. Not really meaning to call out Falling Icicle specifically, he/she is certainly not the only person around the forums that does this about any blessed thing 5e says they want to do/are doing. So, yeah, a facepalm seemed appropriate. Why? Because a book is going to organize some classes under the umbrella of the others? They still get their own features, their own class "defining" traits, their own fluff (which is completely ignore/alterable, of course). The rules of using PC classes in the game needn't change because a Druid is listed as a "Priest Class" or has its own page reading, "Druid's are priests of nature..." in its first line. Why would you need to rewrite anything that's been done so far? I suppose I should have been more detailing, each class is still getting whatever they've said they'll get. You can/should be able to play a "Fighter" or "Bard" or "Sorcerer" without "tricking them out" [using any of the variants] as anything, if you so wanted. They'd still get whatever their defining features are...and just because a Psion is a "sub class" of the Mage and the Wizard is the "default option" doesn't mean Psions get/do everything that Wizards get/do + Psion stuff. They just are organized and constructed a la a Mage rather than a Fighter (or Rogue or Priest). [/QUOTE]
