[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 6173416, member: 1465"] How could it be possible at subclass level? It will be possible to mix subclasses (i.e. traditions) when they are made of special abilities, but this is another thing. You just have e.g. 5 abilities from any subclass of X, so it will be possible to mix 3 from subclass A and 2 from subclass B, presumably you'll just have to respect the level requirements (but not even always). OTOH you will not mix wizardry with sorcery or witchraft or psionics in that way. Maybe some special features can be swapped, but that's it. If these use different casting mechanics, you need multiclassing rules to mix them. But in that case, even if allowed to multiclass a Mage:Wizard into a Mage:somethingelse, you'll run into getting Scribe Scroll or Brew Potion two times, so multiclassing rules will need to work differently for this case. I don't understand this... There are 2 possibilities, either the alternative still uses spells (probably the case for Sorcerer) in which case you just create one spell and say it's both a Wizard and Sorcerer spell (i.e. same that happens all the times with Cleric/Druid spells et al), OR the alternative doesn't use spells but something else (Warlock?), in which case you need indeed to create both a spell and an invocation or whatever, but this happens anyway whether Warlock is a subclass or a class of its own. Ergo, I don't really see how consolidation into one class changes anything in respect to this... [/QUOTE]
