[QUOTE="Cbas_10, post: 3857541, member: 55767"] Regarding rules and unequal multiclassing...I never meant to say or imply that the rules encourage unequal levelling. I meant that the rules [i]assume[/i] it will happen because the designers probably already knew what we figured out 3 days after the PHB came out: having a main class and adding on a level or two of other classes would be very common and powerful. Thus...the XP penalties, and no XP penalties to go the weaker route of even levelling. And your point (whether you are serious or just having fun with the thought) is what I am really wondering. Through multiclassing in a manner that allows your fighter 10/wizard 10 to cast spells at about the same level of ability as a wizard 20.....why would single class characters exist? Maybe a fighter (or whatever the new equivalent is) loses bonus feats and the wizard side loses extras like bonus feats or the familiar or something to multiclass as a wizard and allow fighting AND spell casting to go up at Character Level rates. But that is why I am here....to keep my mind open about 4e, learn more as it comes out, keep reading, and hope that I'm part of the voices WotC hears when it comes to future development. [/QUOTE]
