[QUOTE="MasterOfHeaven, post: 197813, member: 196"] Great stuff. I'm really enjoying the battle scene so far. As for the other issues.. Well, I agree about Delem. I always thought it was strange that a character with 17 Charisma was so shy and unsure of himself. He generally keeps a background role, and lets others handle the social situations, only occasionally interjecting a comment. It would be nice to see him become more confident and take a more active role in the party, really. I think multiclassing spellcasters is generally not a good idea as far as sheer power goes, but I think that the added versatility brings it into at least some form of balance. Sure, Delem can't throw off Walls Of Fire or Fire Shields, but he can heal party members when they're wounded, when he gets to 0 hitpoints or below he has a very nice Domain power to help him out, and so on. With that said, I had noticed in my own campaign the fact that multiclassing to or from a spellcasting class was generally not a good idea unless you severely optimized your abilities, so I changed the rules to make character level equal to caster level. So, a level 10/10 Cleric/Sorcerer would cast a Fireball as a level 20 Sorcerer, and vice versa for Flamestrike. (Speaking of which, Delem ought to get that soon! He should take more Cleric levels. :)) After all, BAB and other such things stack between classes, so why not caster level? So far, it's worked out fine, and hasn't imbalanced anything, and I am actually seeing people multiclass to and from spellcasting classes. The pure spellcasters do not really lose out, as they gain access to the higher level spells, just as a pure Fighter does not lose out to a multiclassed Fighter/Rogue, since the pure Fighter gains more feats and a higher BAB. Anyway, sorry to meander off into a discussion of my campaign rules, but the subject seemed to relate to them, so I couldn't help it. Regardless, I'm really enjoying this story hour, and look forward to it's continuation. [/QUOTE]
