Would you be okay with class abilities that explicitly addressed multi-classing?

[QUOTE="FrogReaver, post: 7548506, member: 6795602"] I would be opposed if multiclassing was mentioned in the single class entry. However, if the multiclassing section listed that as a change that occurs to abilities when multiclassing I'm not opposed at all. It's a valuable tool to have in the toolbox of designing a class IMO. I don't really think AC modifying abilities are what you would want to use such a class feature override for. Your features for both classes can be fixed just by requiring at least 15 str or 15 dex to benefit. Fighters and Paladins both already get heavy armor which grants good AC but requires a 15 str to use without an issue. Requiring at least a 15 in a physical stat solves the issue of a mage multiclassing with fighter or paladin and gaining more of a benefit than they could already gain by using heavy armor because the cost is not the same for virtually the same benefit. Most of the time class features can be given a guideline that makes them applicable in the situations you desire and not applicable in the ones you don't without ever referencing multiclassing. Occasionly there will be a feature that really only can be limited by taking it away from multiclasses. That's why I'm for having the abilitiy to do that in the toolbox of things you can do. [/QUOTE]
