[QUOTE="Volaran, post: 4427670, member: 592"] Here's hoping ENWorld doesn't eat this...took 10 minutes for the reply page to load. Personally, I have never used a Hexblade or Duskblade or had any in campaigns I have run. However, in a short game played during the Alpha phase of Pathfinder, we had a Favoured Soul, 2 psionic classes, and the Savant from the Dragon archive used. Except for some updating of the skills, and hit dice to bring them in line with Pathfinder (as well as the Savant's bardic-knowledge-like ability), they ran perfectly well as is. That seemed to make sense, since that sort of compatibility was one of stated goals of the system. Granted, both core classes I mentioned in my previous post were from other sources, but I also mentioned the Eldritch Knight, which is core for 3.5 and basically gets the job done. I don't really consider those theurge-type prestige classes to be a sign of the problem either. Prestige Classes are part of the multiclassing system, allowing abilities and concepts that don't build well with single classes. As such, I really don't see them as a A cleric/wizard progressing evenly can be a useful character, but it is a long way from being as effective as most single classed characters, I would agree. I don't think I've ever really considered the idea that every possible multi-classing combination should be equally effective. Then you have the Mystic Theurge. Blends the two concepts together, gives a benefit (greatly increased spell selection), and has a drawback (lags behind a single classed character in caster level, and would not receive higher level domain and specialist powers). With an update to the skill-list and a bump up to a d6 hit die, I'd be willing to let it run in a Pathfinder game. That said, I mentioned the Prestige Class idea being quite an important part of multi-classing as it was presented in 3.5. According to the Pathfinder Beta, we'll be getting another PDF (soon hopefully) with their take on Prestige Classes. If we have to wait a bit longer, lets hope it addresses some of your multiclassing concerns. [/QUOTE]
