[QUOTE="bloodymage, post: 266080, member: 4381"] [b]Since you asked...[/b] No sorcerers in my 3e game much less any 1e game. My wizards have always used mana which makes sorcerers superfulous. I use an altered multi-classing system now: [i]Multiclassing[/i]: There are 2 ways to multiclass In Faerûn. The first is to train in both classes simultaneously resulting in achieving 1st level in each class one after the other at a later age than a single classed character. Make the die roll for starting age from both classes and add the sum to the highest starting age of the 2 classes. Alternating levels are required to maintain skills in each class with this method, at least until “full level training” is achieved for each. Starting tripleclassed is not possible with this method. However, triple classes are possible (not encouraged) when both original classes have met the rigors of full level training as outlined in the 2nd method. This method assumes training in 1 class to achieve 1st level and requiring a solid grounding in that class before multiclassing. This is to prevent the atrophying of skills that occurs when a class is not practiced for a long time and was not learned well enough to retain. Different classes have different requirements for “full level training.” Barbarian: 1 Bard: 5 Cleric: 4 Druid: 5 Fighter: 2 Knight Errant: 3 Monk: 4 Paladin: 4 Ranger: 4 Rogue: 4 Wizard: 6 For instance, Casternia the cleric decides she can serve her forest deity better by learning the woodland skills of a ranger.
