[QUOTE="Brown Jenkin, post: 76683, member: 2572"] As a player I am glad for the 3e multiclassing rules. It has given me the chance to play characters that I personally find interesting. In my first 3e campaign I played a dwarven Sorcerer/Fighter. when the campaign ended he was sor 5/ftr 1. As a dwarf I could not see him hanging back in combat, so he would buff himself and run into the front lines. He started as a sorcerer and then after much teasing about not being a real dwarf he took a level of fighter to prove he was a real dwarf. After that it was all sorcerer but with spell selections to help him in combat. This allowed me try a different approach to being a front line fighter. Currently I am multiclassing for a different reason. I was interested in the Mystic Wanderer PrC from MoF. I have been alternating Bard/Cleric while woshiping Silvanus the god of nature. I know some may say that planning a character out for a PrC is wrong especially to be able to take the Prc as soon as possible, but it was playing the PrC that I was interested in. And at least in this case it is far from powergaming. I have allways been behind in my power levels compared to the rest of my party, and this particular PrC really only provides more of what I already am a support character. What it has forced me to do is even more role playing than normal, which I have enjoyed. I personally don't see anything wrong with this as it has increased my enjoyment of the game without harming anyone elses. I guess my question is why are so many people against multiclassing.
