[QUOTE="Ancalagon, post: 6853362, member: 23"] This sounds familiar at the time - I think I even remember nodding to it. But now, I'm not convinced. There are sooo many more humans? why isn't the problem dealt with by a tsunami of level 10 humans? So I'm not sure the logic is sound. The long life might explain why there are as many high level elves as humans, but it wouldn't mean that in absolute number they would be legion. It was a rule that most people skipped anyway. I think, about multi-classing and character optimisation... in 2nd ed multi classing was almost always a no-brainer. Let's be frank, it was a tad too good. But in 3e, multi-classing a spellcaster meant a drop in raw power, and not every player appreciated "versatility". So it lead to the 3e thinking "how can I multiclass in a way to make myself more powerful?" vs 2nd ed "I'm a mage thief this is awesome!!!". [/QUOTE]
