[QUOTE="Votan, post: 4290020, member: 18680"] Well, this seemed to be a feature of all editions of D&D (even 3rd). In 3rd you could not even have done a multi-class at level 1 at all and you needed to design the character to enter specific prestige classes. It has always been a cases that stats were not very flexible for a fighter/magic-user (as you need to bolster two different arenas). The choices that were left (skills, feats) are still there. There are also different ways to get "warrior who also does magic" that create other options. I also expect that you will find more flexibility after level 2 or so when you start having enough feats to diversify. I was actually glad of being able to do multi-class characters at low levels and not having to make the "weak now for strong later" trade-offs that often show up. [/QUOTE]
