[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 5433642, member: 35909"] Fistbeard Beardfist is awesome. I don't generally allow the same stat to AC twice, and for heavy multiclassing I do prefer the use of fractional save and BAB rules. But otherwise, great character concept that I'd totally allow in a game. Multiclassing is generally bad for spellcasters, the most powerful 3E classes, and beneficial to non-casters. It's also the life-blood of the 3E system. So I don't restrict it at all, aside from following the multiclassing XP rules that seem to be hugely unpopular on the internet. I definitely do not like full progression spellcasting PrC's, though, which are the [b]only[/b] exception to the above stated general rule that multiclassing is bad for casters. Thsoe I think unbalanced the game a lot. I don't mind them if they even lose a single CL early on in the class and otherwise give 9/10 progression, I don't even mind ones that have requirements that make dipping a martial or other class 1 or more levels unavoidable but then go on to give full progression in the PrC itself. Those tend to be more balanced. The ones a pure wizard or other spellcaster can easily enter are much more iffy. If the PrC benefits are modest and offset by an equally painful magnitude of pre-reqs, like crappy feats, can still be ok but if not it should probably be nerfed or banned. [/QUOTE]
