[QUOTE="Orias, post: 492048, member: 8165"] I just wish peopel would role play their characters, & if their characters fit into several classes, do it. YOUR character has NO IDEA about stats. They don't know that taking fighter will increase their FORT save, They probably have no idea about saves period, except for maybe reflex save, understanding that they need to pop out of the way of that there fireball. I hate it when people take multiple classes just to be "better at fighting", it's like - well, is your character a fighter type character, & where is he going to learn these regimented moves at? The most I've ever cross classed was Wizard/Cleric/ Prc True Necromancer, Wizard/Cleric, & Cleric/Rogue. I usually take a few levels of Cleric because usually all of my characters are rather facinated with religion, & very much devoted to their deity, so they usually volunteer at a church & learn about divine nature. I absolutely HATE it when I see people with one level of something, because unless you are playing a campaign that starts from 1st level, there really isn't a reason to just have ONE level in something unless you can really explain it. Why would a character go through all that training just to never promote themselves in that field ever again? I can see some circumstances, like if a rogue was traveling with a wizard, & saw a couple of spells & said "Wow, a little training & I could do some of that..." just to get a little hand on magic. But for people who are like "uh....I am a level 1 Rogue/ 1 Barbarian/ 1 Ranger/ 6 Fighter, because uh.....my uh...guy like is all sneak when he fights, & uh...he likes the wild & sometimes goes crazy" it's like "COME ON!" you obviously took those classes for the starting feats that they get. If it suits your character, fine, but don't worry about statistics. I thought dungeons & dragons was meant to be fun, not to make absolutely certain you have the character with the absolute best stats & feats. [/QUOTE]
