IMO, this is one of the most inane rotes currently coming out of certain camps. Really? It's an optional rule? Yes, we know, "it says so". But what rule isn't an optional rule? Point to any rule in the PHB that is not optional.So, let's play a game where the setting allows for there to be casters who can dip into both arcane and divine magic. But I guess we can't. Because it says multiclassing is optional and we just arbitrarily decided to not use it. So now we've screwed ourselves. Whatever shall we do now?Tell me where something like that would ever actually happen at a real table and not just some theoretical white-room table.You sound like you are speaking from a position of superior knowledge. Please, provide data to back up this "many D&D groups" experiencing this issue you cited.Everyone brings their own baggage to the table. I certainly don't have such hang-ups occurring at my tables as you outline here.Says you. My considerable experience informs me otherwise. So now what? Do our votes on the matter cancel each other out?</blockquote>
