[QUOTE="Kithas, post: 6748277, member: 97587"] I can't imagine not multiclassing, it just feels so wrong, restricting and boring. I love mechanics, I love rules, I love trying and making new combinations, I will probably never make a character that isnt multiclassed. For those in the camp that multiclassing doesn't make sense for rp reasons; I have to assume that you are being intentionally obtuse. It has been explained so well here and on the official forums so many times and with sooo many examples. No it shouldnt look like my wizard who's never picked up a sword deciding to be a fighter out of nowhere and being good at combat just 'cause. Multiclassing done right describes what a character is already doing. To add yet another example to the growing list; one of my triple multiclassed characters; Ruhiel Nailo High elf barbarian-ranger-rogue The Nailo family is a crime syndicate that employs the use of Assassins called Fangs. The Fangs are trained to channel their rage to escape attempts gone wrong, they train them to be able to track their targets no matter where they go. He started as a Barbarian because he wasnt a very good assassin, multiclassing into rogue to show his honing his skills therein, and his skills in tracking and combat in hunter Ranger. It isn't and shouldnt be a spontaneous growth of abilities, but a more accurate description of a character. Just and Assassin rogue really wouldnt capture the dr jeckel elf assassin I wanted to tell.
