[QUOTE="rollingForInit, post: 7036959, member: 6793360"] The only situation where I'd ban MC'ing would be if I ran a game for completely new players that don't really know anything about D&D. I'd start them off without multiclassing, but would perhaps allow it later on when they're comfortable with the basic rules. But I'd also make sure to discuss this with the players beforehand. The only downside I can see with multiclassing is if one powergamer does it and the others don't. But it's only an issue if the other players [i]care[/i] about being a bit weaker. And honestly, a powergamer will find a way to optimise with whatever they can. If there's disparity in the group in terms of how much people optimise, you'll probably have people with suboptimal builds while others have optimised their builds anyway. Ability score distribution, subclass choices and spell choices can all make a huge difference in that regard. [/QUOTE]
