[QUOTE="Spatula, post: 4280650, member: 2198"] Some people are not interested in system mastery. They just want to sit and play games with their friends and have fun. Like I said, if you play soley with gaming geeks who enjoy spending their free time memorizing what spells do, the many pitfalls inherent to 3e mutliclassing (or feat selection, or spell selection) are not important, because they will be avoided via knowledge of the system. If you play with people who do not find those activities fun - who in fact view it as work that they don't want to do in order to play a game - then those pitfalls are obstacles to having fun. Just about all of the adult gamers I know have jobs and families now, and don't have time for mastering game systems, even if they did enjoy some of those activities when we were younger (not me obviously, since I'm posting on a msg board after midnight). And their wives want to play but view the system mastery aspects as work. In my view, WotC did design the game for adults. But again, regardless of the merits or flaws of 3e's multiclassing, it is not present in 4e because that's not how things work in 4e. It makes no sense in 4e's context. [/QUOTE]
