Prestige/Advanced/Multi Classes

[Mystwalker]

I think this would be a great way to get more milage out of smaller class lists. Even if we only end up with 3 base classes and 3 prestige classes (sort of like KoTOR), being able to multiclass and compose different class/prestige class combos will provide plenty of options and added depth without having to have a whole smorgasbord of class choices.

I think Sawyer was not big on 'em in 3E DnD (they throw off balance and are hard to DM for a lot of the time) but he's building his own system from scratch so maybe he can pull it off right. Maybe he'll tell us!

The game will not be a DnD so i don't think that there will be multi-classing or prestige classes in that sense.

Sawyer has strong views on this and he's a mechanics mentat. I'm going to let him get on with it.

Multiclassing is not related to D&D. Many class-based systems feature multiclassing.

 

Prestige classes, OTOH, are a D&Dism that should die a gruesome death and never be seen again.
