This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Bill;569036Devil's advocate!

At first I was about to agree that the switch makes sense.
 
Then I started second guessing myself.


One could argue that thge demihumans longer lifespan amakes it easier to master two or three professions at the same time.

Humans having less time would leave one profession behind to betetr focus on the new one.


Hmmm...Now I am not sure which way I prefer!
Either are arguable positions. From a balance point I just say let everybody do whatever and give long lived demihumans an experience penalty or EL (iirc) penalty like 3x.

I think that is ideal. Freedom of choice, but a little surcharge for the perks of being a demihuman.

I think it's one of the parts of multiclassing that 3x nails.  If you want more flavor do favored classes that lessen the penalty slightly.

I like 3X multiclassing for the most part. The one thing about it I struggle with is the way spell casters lose the highest level spells when they multiclass. I would like to see multiclassed spell casters get less total spells but not lose the highest level ones entirely.

That is the bad part of 3x multiclassing they should get some kind of tie to total character level outside spellcasting specific classes for spell levels because it was stupid to multiclass for a spellcaster unless into specific PC's.
