[QUOTE="Kaffis, post: 821659, member: 10305"] So let me get this straight. You want to play a rogue with 3 bonus feats and take weapon specialization, but after that, you're done with the fighter class. And your upset at being penalized. There's a reason specialization is fighter only, and that's to keep other classes from getting it. :D What you're suggesting sounds a lot like dual classing from 2nd Ed to me, which was imo a horrible system. The multiclassing rules in our beloved 3rd Ed were designed to allow classes to get into their niche fairly quickly by being a little front loaded, but still prevent somebody from picking up all of these niche perks by spreading themselves a little here and a little there. It doesn't matter that your character has forsaken the ways of the fighter forever, he still benefits from those skills, and must work extra hard to maintain a diverse set of skills while at the same time 'dumbing down' his practice since he hasn't been actively improving on some of them.
