[QUOTE="Fenris-77, post: 7823649, member: 6993955"] I voted for the 7-10 window. I do think there's a difference between MC and single class there though. A lot of single class builds really start to pick up steam and feel heroic between 5th and 7th level. This is where the melee guys rack up their second attack and a lot of other classes pick up some powerful class abilities. Those classes still 'feel' like that concept before then, but that's where they really start to feel like they're all out of bubble gum. (always room for a Rowdy Roddy Piper reference, right?). Most MC concepts take a little longer to hit their stride. My usual example there is Assassin builds, which don't really come online until 8th or 9th. More generally for MC builds that's often 5 or 6 levels in the main class and a 2 or 3 level dip elsewhere to combine the 5-6th power bump with the 3rd level archetype from the secondary class. Single level MC dips fall somewhere in the middle. [/QUOTE]
