Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kahuna Burger" data-source="post: 487925" data-attributes="member: 8439">I've played two of them. The first was a "feral" human whose tribe background was that all 'cubs' trained in the three aspects of the forest - bear (barbarian) cat (rogue) and wolf (fighter). Then they found their true aspect and trained in that - her's being a mixed aspect of a druid. So since it was a high power campaign, she was something like rog1/barb1/ftr1/dru12. It worked well from a roleplaying stance. The second was what happened when I cast "transmute character to cheese" on a fairly interesting mixed use character who was useless in my powergaming group. She was an amazon (ranger then maxed out deep woods sniper then one level of windrider to get the giant eagle mount) who just wasn't working out, so I gave up on my standards and powergamed her into ranger1/fighter4/sniper6/order of the bow6. Luckily, I quit the group before sullying my name with this particular cheese... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> Personally I think multiclassing becomes too much when it is done to optimise abilities rather than reflect a character concept. (Especially mixing prestige classes which are supposed to reflect major life paths). So its a judgement call. If the player explains the multicalassing with a good background story AND integrates that background into future roleplaying and advancement, that excuses far more classes than the 'good' herald with two levels of assassin because "uh, I though death attack would help in fights... I dunno, maybe she was evil at one brief point in her past, but then she got over it... or could we houserule that...."(in a similar vein, while I really like the guilds in the new bastion press book, I would NEVER allow them to be placed into the background of a high level character, due to the powergaming posibilities. The benifits would have to be gained via roleplaying the process of joining and rising through the guild.)Kahuna Burger</blockquote>
