Then again, you also get a big one the wrong way if you never plan on taking rogue but want your fighter to sprinkle in a few ranger levels. Should've thought of that at first!Actually, IMC we already have a very simple house rule that completely takes care of this issue. At first level you get 4x the skill points you'd normally get in a class. This is normal. Now, whenever you multiclass, look at all other classes you've ever taken. If this new multiclass has more base skillpoints than any previous class levels, you get skill points for that level minus the difference, and then four times the difference.IE, start as a fighter, 2 base for a total of 8Multiclass into barb, 4 base, for a total of 2 + (2x4), or 10Multiclass into cleric (why? For illustrative reasons only) 2 base for a total of 2Multiclass into rogue. 8 base, for a total of 4+ (4*4), or 20.Using this relatively simple house rule you always get the maximum number of skill points that you would have gotten, and makes you less likely to simply throw away the fighter who later wants some rogue skills. Under RAW you might as well do just that. Under this house rule, there are even reasons you might want to start rogue later.</blockquote>
